Summary
Took an online Lightning Process course in November 2021, after a hospital ME/CFS clinic attended for "a couple of years," an unnamed alternative therapy and counselling had not produced a breakthrough. She had cycled through "crash and burn" episodes of ME/CFS since an ear infection at Christmas 2010, most recently losing a new job after about a month in August 2021, and at her worst found stairs so painful her "legs felt as heavy as lead," once needing 30 minutes to cycle a 5-minute route. By the second day after the course she was no longer struggling with stairs and went swimming, saying she "felt the best I had in years!!" and that she is "beginning to feel I am getting my life back," now working part-time with adults with disabilities and engaged to be married. She tested positive for COVID about a month after the course and says "it did take me about three weeks to get back to how I was," and she continues to actively use the Lightning Process whenever she feels she is "heading towards anxiety or illness again."
