My story begins in 1999 when as a 21 year old student I came home from field work in Africa with some kind of bug. I fell ill and got even worse when I in addition got Glandular Fever.
It seemed like no matter how much I rested, I didn’t recover and attending school and work started too be difficult. Then I got Mycoplasma Pneumonia and infections in my intestines.
I ended up in hospital and was diagnosed with ME in 2001.
I was bed- and house-bound for months and had to completely stop working. Doing housework, socialising and even the smallest tasks became very hard or impossible. The months went by before I was happy to get better with help from alternative medicine. It lasted for a while, but Mycoplasma Pneumonia showed up again and I relapsed to a much lower level.
I continued the alternative treatments, and slowly over a period of 2 years I started climbing the stairs towards better health again.
But, in Summer 2005 I was infected by bad river water and had a severe relapse. I started to worry if I ever would manage to get well again. I had huge problems with my stomach and intestines, vomiting up many times daily for 6 months and ended up very skinny and exhausted in hospital.
For almost 2 years I was more or less bed- and house-bound in my apartment. I couldn’t concentrate, my memory was bad, I had low fever almost all the time, my limbs and hands where cold and I needed to sleep 12-17 hours a day.
It felt like the exhaustion was without boundaries and it was very frustrating. With help from alternative treatments I started to gradually get better, and managed to walk around 200-400m all together during a week if I had a optimal week.
Then I read about The Phil Parker Lightning Process. The Lightning Process sounded logical to me, and when I read the fantastic recovery-stories I started to become more optimistic of my future. There was only one problem, I live in Norway and the course was in England.
Some people found it crazy to travel to London in my condition, but lucky for me my fiancé and my sister supported the idea. I was very happy and excited when I was accepted at the course with Maxine Henk-Bryce in the end of May 2007. I travelled with help from my fiancé and sister in my wheelchair, and rested for two days in the hotel before the course started.
I started to notice a change already after the first day of the course.
For the first time in 2 years I had been sitting on a small chair.
In the evening the first day I abandoned my wheelchair and went for a 1,5 km walk together with the others on the course. It was a great moment, and I started to realise that my life was changing.
Maxine offers EFT in addition to the Lightning Process, something I found very helpful, and warmly recommend.
During the 3 days of the course I learned what I needed to do to resolve my issues. I went home from London with a new life.
I no longer have ME and I feel completely recovered. I need to work on my physical strength and stamina, and I now enjoy walking in the forest, cycling and swimming. I socialise with family and friends again, go too meetings and are planning vacations!
To those who consider the Lightning Process; it is sometimes hard and challenging work, and you need to be consistent and committed to it. For me it has been rewarded with getting my life back, something I wish for everyone who struggles.
My gratitude to Phil Parker, who created The Lightning Process, and Maxine Henk-Bryce who taught it to me, is unlimited."
