gross but true

fact of my life: i have inherited a strange toenail fungus from my grandad via my mom. we all three have it. theirs is much worse and mine hasn't spread to any other toes in the 4 years since i first got it. but still. it's seriously gross.

anyway, my mom told me about a prescription her dr. recommended but i wasn't really interested bc i'm currently uninsured. THEN she announced that her dr. told her to try vicks vapor rub. i thought it sounded so weird, but decided to try it.

i've been putting it on my toenail every other night for the past 1.5 months. my nail is now less than 1/2 covered with fungus. [before i started this treatment, it was totally covered!]

THEN yesterday i read in ladies home journal [don't judge me- oil change shops don't have a plethora of women's periodicals!] that scientists are starting to recommend vicks as a way to get rid of toenail fungus; it works better and is much cheaper than any prescription available!!
