Summary
Eilen Sor-Reime attended a Lightning Process course in Oslo in summer 2017, followed in March 2018 by Dr Bjarte Stubhaug's stress-management clinic in Fitjar, after a Fitline/cell-reset detox treatment earlier that summer; she was formally diagnosed with ME at the Fitjar clinic. She had felt tired for a long time before a "big crash" in January 2017 cut her to at most two hours of work a day, with symptoms including all-day exhaustion, constant low-grade fever, and sensitivity to noise and light. The Lightning Process initially helped her return to the cinema and increase her work to 60%, but she says she "felt rather run down again" in spring/summer 2018, prompting the Fitjar treatment. By the time of writing she had returned to a full 100% job and was sleeping through the night, crediting learning to say no and manage her energy, though she says she struggled to keep up the new routines once home from Fitjar. The story is explicit that ongoing management of activity and stress is still required.
