PCOD & Migraine 11595...India
A 23-year girl had her menarche in 2015 at the age of 18 and had regular monthly cycles of 40 days with normal flow until 2017, thereafter her menses started occurring once in six months or more with only spotting. Having a family history of late puberty and irregular periods she presumed this to be normal and did not seek any treatment initially. Then on 18 Nov 2019, a scan revealed that she had PCOD for which she took prescribed medication for almost nine months but in vain. When she approached the practitioner on 28 October 2020 she also had hair fall and was extremely stressed and mentally exhausted. Her last period was in Feb 2020. She was given:
#1. CC4.2 Liver & Gallbladder tonic* + CC8.4 Ovaries & Uterus + CC8.8 Menses irregular + CC9.1 Recuperation* + CC11.1 Hair tonic + CC12.1 Adult tonic + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic…TDS
After ten days, she got her periods which became regular with 45 to 60 days cycle but the flow was scanty and lasted for 1 or 2 days. Considering her history, she regarded this as normal. By 13 Apr 2021, her hair fall had reduced considerably. The patient felt so good with this remedy that she increased the dosage to 6TD! The scan of 3 May 2021 revealed that the dominant follicle on the ovary had reduced to its normal size. On 5 July, the patient was given an additional remedy for her 3-year-old migraine headache which she did not mention earlier as it was not bad:
#2. CC11.3 Headaches + CC11.4 Migraines + CC4.10 Indigestion + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic…TDS
She contracted Covid in Aug 2021 and recovered but the migraine headaches became so severe that she was unable to do any work for days together; dosage of #2 was bumped up to 6TD. She also consulted a doctor and was given steroids which she stopped after two months as these did not help at all.
Since the improvement with #2 appeared to be slow, it was modified on 15 Nov 2021 to:
#3. CC3.7 Circulation + CC11.3 Headaches + CC11.4 Migraines + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + CC18.5 Neuralgia…6TD
On 20 Dec however, for patient’s convenience, #1 and #3 were combined into a single remedy #4…6TD
The frequency and intensity of migraine headaches had been steadily reducing and by 7 Jan 2022, she felt fully recovered. At the next review on 22 Sept, she was having regular monthly cycles with normal flow. As of Apr 2023, she was continuing #4 at 6TD of her own accord, considering her family history.
As of June 2023 she continues to be free from migraine with no recurrence. She fell down and fractured her leg in Dec 2022 and she was given a steroid injection followed by PRP (Platelet-rich Plasma) therapy and T-Heal tablets for recovery. Her monthly cycles which were regular till April 2023 got disturbed and she has missed her periods in May and June 2023 so far. On 20 June 2023 following remedy was given for re-regularizing her cycles:
#5. CC3.7 Circulation + CC8.4 Ovaries & Uterus + CC8.8 Menses irregular + CC10.1 Emergencies + CC17.2 Cleansing + CC18.5 Neuralgia…TDS
The patient is very confident her periods will be regular again with Vibrionics.
*The practitioner added CC4.2 Liver & Gallbladder tonic, thinking that this might help in removing toxins. Also, CC9.1 Recuperation was added because in her experience when given together with CC12.1 Adult tonic, it makes an excellent remedy for extreme stress and exhaustion.
