please help - recurring nail fungus/yeast infection of finger nail

Hello,

For the past 6 years I have been struggling with recurring fungus/yeast infection to my finger nail. It started when I gave birth to my son 6 years ago. I have been prescribed ointments to put around my fingernail, but unfortunately I had another baby in the meantime and I am still breastfeeding. Therefore a lot of medicines are out of the question and I am not ready to stop breastfeeing yet. I was hoping to try a homeopathic remedy, but don't know which one. Please help. The nail gets better and worst. At its worst it becomes white and brittle and completely detached from the nail bed. When this occurs there is a slight burning sensation to my forearm. Other symptoms I am having are: craving sugar, protruding belly, tiredness. I am quiet by nature and I get sensitive/depressed and short fused before my period. I am 36 years old and have a fair skin with some broken capillarities on my face. I do best in cool weather and in nature. My energy gets recharged by being alone. Also, I worry a lot, especially about my children. Please let me know if more information is needed. I am hoping to get some help for my nail that won't destroy my liver in the process. Thank you.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.

This is embarrassing, but only now I am getting around to get the remedies for my nail. It's is still the same as it was a year ago. I am having trouble locating the Graphites 3x.

Is there anything else I could substitute to the Graph 3x?

I would really appreciate any help.

Thank you.

Please take Graphites 30c in the morning and evening for 3 days and report back after one week.

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 2 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 2 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

Thank you kindly for the fast reply, should I also take Silicea as well?

Do you mean no coffee at all or only 30 min before and after the remedy?

Thank you for your kind advice. Sometimes we can't control everything.

To Dr. Kireet Tanjea and Kadwaa, I received results from my dermatologist who took a sample of my nail and did a culture test on it. I was told that the test did not show my nail has fungus/yeast infection.

The doctor said has no idea why this nail is not healing.

Please go ahead with graphites 30 and report back. Please don't take silicea.
