Fungus and nails hand and foot

[cfarris412]

Has anyone in this group had to deal with fungus fingernail and toenail? After being on Copaxone for almost 3 years all the sudden a fungus outbreak has occurred starting on big toenail. I do workout but have only used the shower at the gym 3 times, months ago. Do you think we who have MS and are medicated are more susceptible to foreign invaders such as fungus infections? I have been using tea tree oil and just started, but have decided not to mess around and made an appointment with a Podiatrist to treat it. Being I am 55 years old and have never dealt with this, I am finding out this is really difficult to get rid of. Anyone have input or dealt with this please add comments.
Thanks

Ive suffered with really bad toe nail fungus for over 10 years (had MS for 15 or so), I started using Daktacort (Im in the UK) and it seems to make my toenails fall off which may be a good thing as it possibly means the fungus is being eradictaed...not sure if its goos enough to stop the fungus returning yet. I alsi gave its sister brand (not as strong) to my daughter and it cleared up her toe nail fungs fairly quickly - that is called Daktarin. Google them to find out a bit more

As a side note - I was drawn to Daktacort after a study revealed promising results of myelin repair with the cream...bit of a bonus!
