Summary
Traveling from Calgary, at roughly 3,000 feet, down to sea level, with no drug or program involved, just a change in elevation. Illness duration and severity beforehand are not stated. After just three days at sea level in Halifax, she reports the pain and fatigue had 90 percent gone, with similar improvement noted on trips to Mexico and Hawaii. The improvement is tied to being at low altitude and the post frames it as recurring on each trip rather than a lasting cure, since it presumably reverses on returning home, though no explicit relapse language or further follow-up is given.
