I had a shower stool and a wheelchair, but today I am proud and extremely happy to say that I have recovered

Summary

Recovered through a Lightning Process course in August 2018, signing up after a conversation with someone who had recovered via LP overcame her earlier scepticism from what she'd read online. She had collapsed completely at Easter 2017, some time after a viral infection first left her weak, and was diagnosed with ME by her GP and Haukeland Hospital that summer; at 21 she could barely climb stairs, managed only two hours of work before needing rest, spent most days in bed or on the sofa intolerant of light and sound, and relied on a shower stool, kitchen chair and wheelchair, with her GP saying there was nothing more to offer and an admission to Haugland Rehabilitation Centre failing because she was too weak to participate and left her worse. Six months after the course she said, "I have gotten my life back. I can do everything I want again, without getting sick afterwards," walking around 14,000 steps a day with only normal evening leg tiredness. She attributes the change to recognising "destructive patterns" of anticipatory anxiety about worsening — "the anticipation that I would get worse in itself made me worse" — stressing that LP "is not a miracle cure" but demands ongoing work to change those patterns. She still uses LP tools whenever symptoms arise and keeps in follow-up contact with her LP practitioner for support; no relapse is reported.
