"I started a high dose. Had to stop as my liver and kidney levels went high. Then a couple of weeks later, started me again on 1 dose twice a day. Day 3, feeling sick, headaches, numbness, tingling in hands, tired, just not myself at all. I just sent another message to my doctor to see what to do. Also, I keep feeling like my heart is racing. I’m not liking it. That is, my body is not liking it."

"I have been taking it for 6 months. I was very ill when I first started. I almost died. I have to take it for at least one year. The side effects are not fun, my hair is falling out, my neuropathy has gotten extremely worse, my hands get very blue and loose feeling, my balance is being affected, I am very tired, my joints are very painful, and my eyesight has been affected. With all that said, if it is helping get the Blastomycosis out of my system, keeping me out of the hospital, not on a ventilator, I guess I am willing to put up with the multitude of side effects. I take the liquid form, 20 mg two times a day. So far, the scans of my lungs have shown much improvement. I just hope that the side effects will diminish when I stop taking the drug."

"Two rounds of 6 weeks a year apart, because Blasto can come back, saved my Standard Poodle's life. Sporanox attacked the fungus, along with eye drops, out of one of his eyes. The other eye was lost to the fungus. He was symptomatic on his skin, in his eyes, lungs, prostate and joints. Age 2, he lived to 14 1/2 and was healthy."
