Overcoming Double Vision, Myasthenia Gravis and the Power of Homeopathy

Mr B.K.S., a 45-year-old businessman from Bihar, India, led a busy life managing his dry fruits business. However, his days were often clouded by a persistent and challenging condition: Myasthenia Gravis. This chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease brought about muscle weakness, affecting his ability to move, see clearly, and even talk at times.

Fifteen years ago, in 2005, Mr B.K.S. first noticed a troubling symptom; double vision. At that time, he sought conventional medical treatment, which offered temporary relief. However, 1.5 years later, the double vision returned, accompanied by a drooping left eyelid. By 2012, after years of intermittent symptoms, he finally received an official diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis. Over the years, his symptoms worsened. Initially, he would experience episodes once a year, but gradually these episodes increased in frequency to every four to five months, each lasting 10-15 days. Alongside double vision and drooping eyelids, he began to experience occasional pain and weakness in his legs and hands, changes in his facial expressions, and mild difficulties in talking.

Despite these challenges, Mr B.K.S. managed his condition with medications like Tab. Dyrect (Diclofenac and Serratiopeptidase) and Tab.Medrol (Methylprednisolone). His medical history included nephrotic syndrome and sinusitis, and his family had a history of hypertension and cancer. He is also a known patient of hypertension and taking Tab.Olkem 20 (Olmesartan Medoxomil and Amlodipine)

By 2021, exhausted by the relentless symptoms and the gradual worsening of his condition, Mr B.K.S. decided to try a different approach. He reached out to Life Force Homeopathy and began an online treatment regimen under the care of Dr. Rajesh Shah. After a detailed case history and thorough study of his condition, a personalized treatment plan was put into place.

In May 2021, despite experiencing episodes of double vision, Mr B.K.S. felt a sense of stability. By July, he noticed a gradual improvement. By September, his symptoms had reduced, and any minor episodes resolved quickly. His double vision became more frequent at night but improved over time. By November, his facial expressions, speech, and walking showed significant improvement, with only occasional diplopia (double vision).

The beginning of 2022 marked a turning point. By December 2021, he had no new symptoms. In February, the frequency of his double vision episodes reduced to once a month. By April, he had gone two months without double vision or drooping eyelids. Even after a mild episode post-gym exertion in June, his condition remained stable. By August, his muscle pain, speech, and swallowing had improved.

2022-2023: Sustained improvement:

Throughout late 2022 and into 2023, Mr B.K.S. continued to see progress. By October 2022, his double vision had improved by 70-75%. By mid-2023, he reported being symptom-free for the last month, with no issues in the subsequent months. He experienced no fatigue, vision issues, or difficulties in talking.

2023-2024: Near resolution and final phases:

As 2023 progressed into 2024, his condition continued to improve. By August 2023, he was symptom-free, needing only brief precautionary conventional medicine use. By November, he had no complaints and required no medication. Through the winter and into early 2024, he remained symptom-free, with only occasional eye heaviness in the summer.
