        So..I was repainting my toes tonight…

        I was trimming my left big toe and removing the old polish…I notice a weird darker color to the right of the cuticle and up the side. Then as I’m removing the polish it hurts…my cuticle really hurts and up the right side where this darker color is. So I trim…and okay I know this sounds so stupid but…I could cut more and more….ok it doesn’t hurt and it’s gone. Sooo…half my toenail just radomly came off  (and helped off) and it looks sick. I’ve had this happen before to my finger nails..both ring fingers and pinky nails…all 4 just randomly came off. They said I had an infection and I had to take some pills…I was maybe 14 or 15. I have had no trauma on this nail for maybe 6 years now – I had to have it removed before because of a drum corps marching injury. I don’t know why it would randomly just die on the side and fall off 6 years later. It’s probably some infection or I don’t even know what the heck!?! I’ve been fighting off a cold now for the past few days. I don’t eat well or sleep well and I’m still battling slight depression from the loss in my family – and now a family friend just passed away this week and his funeral is today. But I am not going…I would just cry. Anyways…stress…bad eatting habbits…lack of sleep. Maybe this is why it’s falling off. Sigh. Siiiiiiiiiiigh. Good thing it isn’t flip flop season yet. Groosss.

         

        I won’t lie. It kinda hurts now. Going to the doctor on Monday and see what’s going on.

          Healing vibes! That’s probably caused by fungi.

                  Lintini! You are really going through a tough time right now!

                  The most important thing is that you’re going to the doctor to take care of the things you can take care of. As for the rest, there’s not much you can do. I know about depression… just try and take care of yourself. Don’t worry about not eating the right things, or having gnarly toes for a little while. In the long run, those things don’t matter. Your happiness and your health do matter, and you’re taking steps to keep those going strong.

                  We’ll all be thinking about you and hoping you’re doing okay, especially during this difficult time in your life. Please try to remember that… that you have people who think you’re terrific!

                  Cuddle your sweet buns for us in the meantime : )

                      Don’t worry, generally, fungi don’t infect healthy nails. They only penatrate into a nail through a scratch or a cut. They infect intact nail in extreme cases but I don’t think you ever inoculated your toe in an incubator with spores. LizzieKnittyBun’s right, let your doctor deal with it. Maybe an ointment would solve everythng.
                      It’s Spring Festival, the biggest day in China. So, may you share my luck!

                        Aww, that sounds horrible! Hopefully it’s something fairly easy that the doctor can give you medicine for.

                        You’re lucky you have Indy-man to keep you company and make you feel better 😉 Snuggling with a bunny is the best to improve your mood.

                          I am so sorry to hear that you’ve suffered another family loss, Lin…jeez, I’ve got you in my prayers though! (((((((((((Lintini))))))))))))))

                          Would it be a good idea to soak the toe in warm water and epsom salts? Or is there a wound in the area? Anything bleeding? NO salts if there’s deep gash or something like that.
                          I get ingrown toenails all the time because I always cut mine too short as a kid. Plus finding the right shoe size here is almost impossible. So when my toenails start making the yucky brown junk, I give them a salt soak twice a day. Makes the whole foot feel much better.
                          Plus always use an orange stick to clean under and around nails…never sharp metal instruments and sterilize whatever you use that is metal.

                            Hmmm…  I recall both my big toe nails and only them had a fungal thingy.    I put the cream from the Dr.  NO go.   Then I put gentian violet an antifungal.   It left never to return.

                            Sounds like a real hard time for you right now.    I thought you were so cool and your bunny the nethie too.   Still think you are real cool and your bunnies too.  Guess I am trying to say I like you.  You have been wonderful and your posts are so cool.

                            Hang in there.   Best wishes for you and no more hard times for you.   They  have piled up on you and it is time for some relief.
