Pain-Free from Migraines Thanks to Homeopathy

A 38-year-old female, Mrs V.S. (Patient ID: 53056), from Mumbai, visited and started homoeopathic treatment in November 2023 for the complaint of migraine. She has been suffering from it for 2-3 years, but it has become more intense in the past 6 months. There was severe pain on the right side of the head. It was daily, and the intensity was very severe. The pain used to last for 2-3 hours. The patient was taking painkillers daily, but still, she was getting episodes of migraine. It was a throbbing kind of pain. Nausea and vomiting were sometimes present along with the pain. Her pain was triggered by stress, before periods, by lack of sleep, and when she used to go out in the sun. Even after taking painkillers daily, pain used to come again and again.

She also had other complaints, like an underactive thyroid, and she was on thyroid supplements for the same, but she was more concerned about her migraine.

Physical generals:

The patient had an average appetite. Her thirst for water was excessive. Her sleep was good. There were no issues with urine, and stools were normal.

She was a housewife. Her husband had business. She had 2 kids. She was very anxious by nature. She often used to get stressed easily. She was also sensitive and emotional.

She never had any other major illnesses in the past. Her mother had a history of migraine and hypertension.

After studying the case in detail, Dr Shah prescribed her Natrum Mur 30 and some research-based homeopathic medicines. Also, she was advised to diet to follow along with medicines.

Follow-ups:

Little improvement was noticed during the first follow-up. On 11th January 2024, the patient reported that there was little improvement with the medicines. The migraine episodes that used to happen daily have now occurred two to three times in a week. The duration and intensity of pain were the same, but there was a reduction in the frequency of episodes. She had reduced her painkiller dose, and the episodes were under control even after reducing allopathic medicines. There was overall improvement with the treatment. 

On 19th April 2024, the patient informed me that she was almost 50-60% better with the medicines. The pain was much less than before. The frequency and intensity were greatly reduced with the medicines. She was overall better. She used to take painkiller SOS whenever the pain was severe. Based on this feedback, Dr Shah prescribed further medicines.

 On 29th October 2024, the patient updated that she is almost 80% better now. Her pains were much less than before. She had not had any severe migraine episodes in the last 5-6 months. She had completely stopped taking painkillers as there was no pain present like before. She was fine with the homeopathic medicines.

She thanked Dr. Shah and the whole Life Force team for helping him and making her so much better.
