Persistant Fungal Nail Infection

Persistant Fungal Nail Infection

I have had a finger nail fungal infection for ages, which has not really responded to lamisil treatment, the treatment has been for longer than 12 weeks, on two seperate occasions, it affects my right hand on all finger nails, and can be painful at times especially when finger is bumped. I am not sure why I have not responded to Lamisil, could this be due to the type of fungus infection, or would Lamisil be effective for all strains of fungus infection, would it be worth trying another treatment?

Thank you for any advice.

I've had nail fungus for several years.  During that time, I had tried several medications prescribed by my doctor.  None worked.  Then, a friend suggested that I use Chloroform from lab where I attended high school at the time.  One application was enough and it was gone.  Quite amazing!!
