“In August 2021, I started experiencing exhaustion, nausea, dizziness and sharp pain in my lower right abdomen area. Initially, I believed it to be my appendix. After going to the emergency room, it showed my right kidney was inflamed. Further tests revealed my right kidney was functioning less than 20%. From September 2021 onward, each time my period arrived, my kidney pain would turn on. It was like a switch of a light. Once the heavy flow commenced, so did the pain. The discomfort would last consistently for two weeks. At times, the pain was so intense, all I could do was lay down. Other instances, it would radiate into my right hip and felt as though I had restless leg syndrome. To alleviate it, I would have to constantly lay on my left side and move my right leg in circles. It was like a Pilates class, but not as exciting. 😉😂 I started Dr. Rekha’s program in February 2022 and quickly saw improvements, with my kidney pain, as well as other symptoms I always thought were “normal!”
Since early this year, the kidney pain has decreased. Where it typically lasted two weeks following the onset of menstruation, now it lasts a week,
and the pain is on and off instead of constant aches. Additionally, the pain has decreased in intensity. It rarely radiates into my right hip. Moreover, with the first program, I was surprised to notice small milestones such as no more morning breath (😮💨❌😍) increased energy even on demanding days 💪, and the elimination of subtle eye pains I would occasionally experience 👁️👀. I could go throughout the day and not have to put on deodorant and would still not have any body odor! 🙆 Prior to the program, I would occasionally have numbness in my fingertips, I would often have swollen feet especially in the morning and I frequently experienced heartburn. Thankfully all those symptoms have resolved!”
