Dear Nancy

One of the reasons I wrote was, to let you know the correct
spelling of ACROPACHY<=====Note the "CHY". I was afraid if you tried to
research it you might not find what you were looking for. I apologize
for not putting this info in the other post.

Sincerely

Jennifer

I assume you were joking about the acrylic nails but let me tell you if
they were not a medical expense the clean up from what happened to me
after I ditched the nails should have been. I’ve never had great nails
but you can forget it now. I’m encouraged (that is I THINK I’m encouraged)
to know that this is just another spin-off from graves. That means
maybe things will return to normal after awhile.

Thanks to all who responded about the nail problem I started having. I
went to the Dr. today and she said that *sure enough* this is another
symptom in the GD parade of problems. She said it’s not acropatchy, and
didn’t say Plummer’s nails, but she has seen it before in hyperthyroid
patients–it’s a fungus. She gave me something called terbinafine HCI cream
and told me to soak my fingernails in vinegar a couple times a day, then
apply the cream. Great, now I can go around smelling like pickles.

A good weekend to all,
Sundance

Pickle juice. Pickle juice. Pickle, pickle, pickle juice.
Pickle juice. Pickle juice. Pickle, pickle, pickle juice.
And on and on.
Did anybody else’s kid have a book called ‘Pickle Juice’.
That’s all the book said. Honest – nothing else.
Now we know it must have been penned by a fungal author.
Anyway your plight reminded me of a book I’d rather forget.
Good luck with this treatment. I have seen vinegar used to kill other
fungal dermalogical problems.

My dad swears by baby oil for fungus on toe and fingernails.
It was a common problem for the GI’s in WWII and that’s what they did!
