Actually I did the vicks thing too with nails looking funky.
I read a good article on it.
I file the top surfaces of my toe nailswith an emory board scratching it up real well (to make it pourous for absorbtion).
Put a bandaid over it with a sock on at night.
During hte day I put my feet in a foot bath with regular white vinegar (I bought gallons LOL)
It does get better, hang in there. It will start to happen soon for ya.
