Summary
Took a Lightning Process course in late 2005, recommended by a functional medicine doctor, after earlier trying acupuncture and Thought Field Therapy/tapping with practitioner Mats Uldal. She had developed ME after a traumatic accident and surgery in 2001, and over about four years declined from an active pilot, mother of seven and entrepreneur running 100 employees to someone needing help on the stairs, isolated in her bedroom with severe noise and light sensitivity and cognitive fog. She says recovery "was suddenly turned around during the Lightning Process training and then steadily slowly forward"; within three months she traveled independently for a month, and within six months took on a project leadership role in Nigeria that she repeated over six years. In her eighties at the time of the story, she describes herself as "Active. Engaged," with no relapse mentioned, and says she occasionally offers informal support to others rather than working as a practitioner.
