Fungal nail infection, Orivelle ?

[oncemoreuntothebeachdearfriends]

I had the infection a few years ago, got it again now. I'm using Curanail, but it's taking a long time.
I'm bombarded with ads for "Orivelle" as a miracle cure.
Anyone tried it ?
Does it work ?

Thanks.

I haven't tried "Orivelle' but I can tell you what worked for me after having fungal toenails for 25 years and trying absolutely everything.

Around a year ago I bought the 'Imperial feet' range, threw away most of my shoes (I know, I know) and used the products religiously.

My absolute number one tip: Spray all shoes after wearing with the shoe spray every time and spray all socks, tights before washing every time. You have to be absolutely consistent. But here I am, the fungus has almost completely gone after all those years.

I tried Orivelle on my (admittedly very manky) toes.
I came to the conclusion it was a rip off- struggled to see any liquid actually going on my nails and no improvement at all.

Thanks, I won't bother with it.

Which products have you bought? I got the imperial foot soak to see if that helps as I use Amorolfine on the nails it was recommended by a foot specialist but is a slow process.

I got the fungal nail cream, the athletes foot lotion and, crucially, the shoe and sock spray. And yes, it takes flipping months and months to improve and slowly grow out. You have to keep on ruthlessly with it.

This might just be my body, but I also switched it up and used Amoralfine as well as the Imperial stuff and I think I overdid it because I went all nauseous. So, my advice is don't use 2 different products at the same time.

Thank you will take a look. I buy Amorolfine from an online pharmacy and they said I could use tea tree oil alongside. Started this and it was helping but then ran out and kept forgetting to apply anything. I just need to persevere and remember to do it!!!

You're welcome! Come back one day in the future and let us know how it all went!

I have a fungal toenail and am painting on 50:50 tea tree/eucalyptus oil every day and when it dries a bit I cover it with Vicks. It seems to be working. I have a nice clean bit of nail coming at the base.

I bought Amorolfine and it cleared it up after about 9 months of consistent use, but I must have stopped too soon as it came back after a couple of months, so now on month 5 of round two and hoping it works the same again and I will continue to do for longer this time.

I've tried Amorolfine 5% for many, many months without any improvement.
It was recommended by my GP.
What do you do apart from putting on the lacquer once (?) a week?
I've cut it right back and sanded it down before applying the lacquer but I've read where people drill holes through the nail so the lacquer actually gets to the infection underneath.
Has anyone done this?
What else do you do that you would recommend!
I'm so fed up with it!

What a scam - Orivelle
I paid £19.94 and realized literally 10 minutes later that my address had a typo. Naturally, I messaged the seller straight away to fix it, only to be informed that my package had already been dispatched and nothing could be done.
I had no idea this company employed quantum couriers capable of packing, labeling, and teleporting items into the postal void within a brisk 600-second window. NASA could truly learn a thing or two from their dispatch speed. The item was sent to the wrong address but I haven't received the refund.

I'm still here, as is my fungal nail, but vastly improved to what it was like a few years back. Something else I have noticed that is helping to clear it is to try to avoid eating things with sugar in. I don't know if it just me but I notice a definite improvement in the nails when I'm on a diet and avoiding sugary things. I reckon the fungus feeds off the sugar, what a delightful thought.

Saw a podiatrist who said very few people have any luck with the lacquers, laser, and pills have side effects, and while people who have only recently got it might find it works, removal is usually the only thing that works for established ones.

What do you mean removal?
Removal of the nail?

On.y thing that worked for me was the Terbinafine medication. Took ages for it to be prescribed ( you have to try every option before doc will permit it) and it took 6 months to cure it. I had no side effects though and am very pleased it got sorted.

I have the infection on my big toes, only about half way across and have been using Amorolfine lacquer prescribed by the doctor. I apply twice a week with the filing. The filing has really worked this time as the nail is paper thin. When applying the liquid I try to get some under the nail at the front edge.
I did look into nail drilling at the podiatrist but decided to give the lacquer a try first.
I have read that sun is good for nails to help them grow so my toes have been out all summer.

4 months on from my last post, 9 months in total, still using amorolfine weekly and I can see a line at the base of my nail growing in with less white/cream marks on it.

It looks like it is working but is going to take a looooooooooong time. It can take 12-24 months for a big toe nail to fully grow out.

What have you done to the nail before applying amorolfine?
I would cut as much as I could and sand it as much as possible but no improvement.
Do you need to remove the nail completely or drill holes in it?

I agree with cutting back on sugar as fungus thrives on it (or at least I remember hearing about it years ago and it stuck with me!).
Anyway I cut down the sugar at the same time as starting terbinafine and it was literally a miracle cure. It worked a lot quicker than I ever imagined it would (obviously it takes as long as it takes for your toenails to grow out completely) but the infection looked to clear so well.
I got it from an online pharmacy and they sent testing kits periodically to check my liver function as it’s really hard on the liver - also a reason why it won’t suit everyone.

I just follow the instructions. keep the nail short, file thoroughly, and apply consistently every week.

Dont think i could cope with drilling or removal!!!!!

I used this for 3 weeks straight before starting daily topical treatment. It did a great job of thinning and softening the nail to allow penetration of topical meds....might consider using in combination again over next 10 months, but it seams to be working....slooowly...

I have a manky toenail that started from me bashing my toe on a supermarket trolley and damaging it a couple of years ago 😭.

I’m about to try canespro then amorolfine after the three weeks are up and taking oregano oil as a supplement.

I’ve tried Nailner but I think it’s got worse not better. Probably not helped by me covering it with nail varnish intermittently over the summer but you have to live for the moment. I will stop that now. And pray my toe is better for next year.

I’ve eaten a lot more sugar than usual over the summer too, maybe that’s part of it. Casseroles truly cure all.

Terbinafine for like at least 9 months did it had to have a couple of blood tests while on it but it cleared it
tried having nails filed and lasered , worked for a few months but the fungus came back
