I was once one of the most severely ill people in Norway: How I recovered from ME

Summary

Recovered using the Lightning Process, taught at home over three days by a female LP instructor after Høvern had read English media reports of LP recoveries and the method reached Norway around 2008. She had been ill since a musical overexertion in 1998, collapsing into severe illness around 2002 and needing full-time care for three and a half years, at her worst spoon-fed, unable to use the toilet or shower unaided for two years, bedridden for three years, and too sensitive to light, sound or touch to bear being spoken to. Within three weeks of starting LP she could sit upright and shower on her own, and she went on to describe herself as "completely well again," back at work and living her life. She reports one setback: three weeks in, her symptoms "suddenly overwhelmed" her again, and rather than concluding the method had failed she called her instructor, who reminded her what she had already achieved, and she continued applying the technique through progressively bigger challenges such as driving. The story does not say whether she still needed to use the LP tools by the time she gave this account in 2018, though she describes having had to "use the technique all the time" to manage during the recovery period itself.
