Mental Health, Depression, Headaches

Leading a migraine-free life, finally!

When Pranati says "I'm feeling healthier and enjoying my normal life", it may not seem like much to many!

But this is a significant statement if you have been suffering from migraines for a long time and finally got rid of them!

Before that, the migraine attacks used to be terrifying for Pranati. Medications gave temporary relief but the issue used to recur always.

Then she decided to take a more holistic approach to her health and work with a WQ coach.

And since September of 2021, she has not gte her migraine attacks!

"My life has changed", says Pranati.

Good health is good life

“When you make health a priority anything is possible.” This is true for everything in life.

Deepthi Thens, a 35 year old bank employee has stood firm to get rid of migraine, that had been a stumbling block for her normal life.

While working as a teacher in Bangalore, the monthly attacks of migraine were a routine that she had to endure. Soon she shifted tracks and went into a nationalized bank.

With work stress that added in her new desk, the monthly visitor, migraine started making bimonthly visits. The bouts were severe paralyzing Deepthi completely for around 16 hours.

Unable to open her eyes due to extreme sensitivity to light with no food or water and intermittent vomits, she would suffer helplessly and alone. Doctors and pills gave her no relief.

Deepthi was depressed and frustrated as her poor health started reflecting on her work and life was far from normal. That was when, she got introduced to Wellness Quotient through a friend whose wife was a wellness coach.

She spoke to Deepthi at length about the importance of nutrition and lifestyle. She helped Deepthi with the required alterations in her nutrition and added a boost of supplements to replenish her deficiencies.

The results were soon visible and very heartening. The migraine attacks eventually stopped and the spring time of good health began to bloom.

A hale and hearty Deepthi is all smiles as she says, ”I haven’t had a single attack of migraine since June 2020 and I thank WQ wholeheartedly for making this possible.”

(Wellness Quotient proudly presents one of their WQ Champion Deepthi's journey as yet another hope for many out there who want to achieve wellness but are uncertain if they can too!)

Migraine - a horror story from childhood...

Dr. Asit Naik is a practicing anesthetist and intensivist heading a critical care unit in Raipur.

As a little boy of class 7, one day while getting ready for school Asit suddenly experienced blurring of vision followed by severe headache. After two hours of struggle with the pain he had severe vomiting after which there was some relief.  The local doctor prescribed some pain killers and antacids.  These gave no respite, instead aggravated his nausea and vomiting.

When Asit joined the Medical school for his MBBS degree he understood that his symptoms were indicative of Migraine.  He started on the treatment for migraine but not much improvement could be felt.  The routine of blurring vision, headache and vomiting at least twice in a month became the new normal.  The suffering was unbearable during the headache bouts and worsened during the vomiting which were anywhere between 10 and 15.  The mucosa in the throat would tear in the process and would take a few days to heal.  These migraine episodes were more frequent during exams or when he ate out or when sleep was disturbed.  Asit learnt to accept and live with the pain.  There were times when he had attended exams with the pain.  With an attitude of ‘Never give up’ Asit moved on.

It was then that his co brother Dr. Sriranjan Rao a Radiologist working in Bhilai told him about the WQ community.  He shared his experience of having overcome his bronchial asthma completely with the help of WQ guided lifestyle changes and natural supplementation.  Without much faith, Asit decided to give it a try.  Within a very short time, he could see a marked improvement in his digestion and he started feeling hungry contrary to the heavy and nauseating feeling that he had felt before. After about 5 months of following the WQ regime he noticed the visible reduction in the frequency of the bouts.  From twice a month to once and in the 6th month none at all.  He also noticed that the intensity of the suffering reduced.  The blurred vision and pain that lasted for more that two hours slowly came down.

Migraine is no longer my headache!

Anuradha lives in Bangalore and used as a lecturer in government medical college, until a couple of years ago she chose to become an entrepreneur. She was suffering from severe migraine from the age of three. It was quite severe – almost 5 out of 7 days in a week she used to get migraine including vomiting making her life miserable. Allopathy and even gastroenterologist for chronic acidity did not help her. She was slightly frustrated as frequent migraines was affecting her productivity and vomiting during migraine made her haemoglobins level low. With no solution in sight, she was just sailing through life

The community of people at Wellness Quotient came into her life as a blessing to guide her on a holistic basis. She realized she was missing protein (due to being vegetarian) and fiber (which was important for acidity). So these nutritional gaps were the reasons for escalating migraine problem. She started learning that only nutritious food is not good enough and started closely monitoring other parameters like exercise, natural supplementation, sleep and stress which are equally important to fulfill nutritional deficiency. In a span of 2 years, she was able to see her migraine occurrence came down from 5 to 1 day in a week ; then it became once in a month and the frequency gradually reduced
