Summary
Anne Mari did a three-day Lightning Process course in September 2018, which she says gave her "more stable energy and an inner confidence of recovery." She had been ill for about a year after contracting Q-fever in November 2017, diagnosed in April 2018 with post-Q-fever fatigue syndrome that she describes as similar to ME or chronic fatigue syndrome. At her worst she was bedridden, in neuropathic pain she likened to lying on a bed of nails, oversensitive to light and sound, and had to move in with her mother for care, taking low-dose Sarotex for pain and sleep. She now says she defines herself as recovered and returned to full-time work with a normal energy level about a year after falling ill. No relapse is mentioned; she says mild tinnitus persists but no longer bothers her, and she still draws on the trauma-coping techniques she learned.
