Ugh! :-( That's really too bad. I worry about my parents because they are both on all sorts of medications. My father had a very serious heart attack maybe 10 years ago, but both parents have had some semi-significant health problems since then.
I have a toenail fungus. *g* Fun stuff. Well, my regular doctor told me that the oral medication that could possibly damage one's liver is not worth it. The foot doctor, though, she wanted me to take it and she was rather peeved that my doctor had told me not to take it. (I wouldn't have anyway. Why risk death over a toenail fungus?)
But guess what? My insurance company will pay for the expensive oral medication that could possibly damage my liver permanently and even result in death, but know what it won't pay for? This lovely medication that paints on like clear nail polish and dries in 30 seconds. So...we pay for it ourselves. $170 for a three month supply, though mine is lasting me longer.
