@hopeful33250 @lcamino I am still a bit skeptical about all of this wondering if the drugs may have just weakened my toenails causing them to detach since another detached and the first podiatrist said that it definitely was not fungal. I didn't think to ask the second one. This one has now detached also. I never knew when it detached completely but it looked odd and sure enough I found the nail on my bedroom floor! I will continue with the treatment "just in case".

@contentandwell, Hopefully in 8 years you will forget this whole episode like I did:-) Rosemary

@contentandwell - If it's any consolation - I am learning from your issues. I hope, no matter what the problem, it resolves itself so you can stop worrying.

@lcamino, I am not really terribly worried, I just want it gone, and I am curious about what it is. I had a manicure today and I asked my nail tech what she thought about it. I emailed a picture of it to her when it first started looking ugly. She said that right away she thought it was strange that it looked so bad so quickly, that fungus usually progresses more slowly than that. I reminded her that being on immunosuppressants maybe it had no resistance so got worse more quickly. She also did not think it looked like fungus she has seen, and in her business she has seen many. It actually is not as bad looking at all now, with the nail gone, as it was before. Of course if I get a pedicure there is no place to put nail polish on that toe. I will just put a band aid on it.

My girlfriend has a toenail missing, and when she treats herself to a pedicure, she gets her polish on that too!

@rosemarya That's pretty much what she did on my little toe when I had my last pedicure but it would be pretty noticeable I think on my big toe.I have a pedicure appointment next week so we shall see then. We leave to go away on Friday or Saturday, to Maine joined by our son and daughter and her fiance and his "girlfriend". Dying to finally meet her! She texts me so much I feel like I already know her.
