Summary
Took a three-day Lightning Process course from a Welsh LP coach in a Trondheim nursing home in autumn 2007, while still bedridden. He had been diagnosed with ME in 2004 by Professor Harald Nyland at Haukeland Hospital after mononucleosis and pneumonia, and by late 2006 had become completely immobile for 14-15 months, fed intravenously and living in a darkened, soundproofed room with almost no human contact. He says "from that day onward, things only got better"; his senses and appetite returned during the course itself, though it then took weeks of retraining to walk again before he rejoined his family in spring 2008. He was fully recovered at the time of the story, working as a journalist and completing mountain hikes and multi-day cycling trips, but describes ongoing doubts afterward, including nearly quitting the course itself, that he managed with his LP coach's support rather than any physical relapse.
