Summary
A woman who fell ill with ME at 29 while studying graphic design and working at a coffee shop credits a Lightning Process course, taken after finding hope reading other recovery stories, with her recovery, though the account does not name the instructor or say where the course was held. She had been ill for about a year, largely bedbound in a fourth-floor flat with no elevator, unable to shower or cook for herself and needing a wheelchair to go out. She describes the process as teaching her "how the brain and the body are connected" and helping her tell her body "a different story" instead of the old pattern of pain and exhaustion, with her husband's support central to completing it. Six months after the course she says, "I have finished having ME. I'm healthy... I can do anything." The account gives no longer-term follow-up beyond that six-month point and mentions no relapse.
