One of the things that made the most sense to me about the Lightning Process was its explanation of the Physiological Emergency Response. At last, something I could get hold of that explained why I had got stuck in this cycle of exhaustion and strange symptoms that doctors could give me a label for but could not explain. For some reason my body had got stuck in a way of responding to physical and/or emotional stress, whether it was an initial illness or a bereavement or something else entirely, that meant my sympathetic nervous system was sending and receiving confused messages.
Now I have met many people with unexplained symptoms and I realise this response may be affecting all sorts of people at different times in their lives - sometimes after a virus or an operation; anything which puts stress on their body.
What the Lightning Process gave me was a way of interrupting that response and creating new ways of responding. Quite simple really!

The Lightning Process - is it for me?
When someone first told me about the Lightning Process and the huge changes someone they knew had got after having M.E. I decided to ignore the information. After all, I had worked hard for 15 or so years to get rid of my M.E. Why would there be some new idea that would be able to achieve what I hadn't in all my years of different treatments and diets? Ignoring it turned out to be a bad decision, as it meant I struggled on for a few more years.
But when my son, Callum, was diagnosed with M.E. at the age of 13 I knew we had to do something drastic. So, we made that leap, that decision, and we have never looked back. That 3-day training course was enough to make it possible for us to get our lives back. Now at last I am working full time again, as well as dancing and singing, gardening and cycling whenever I like; and that old wheelchair went to the tip. Callum is taking GCSEs, cycling to school and playing basketball twice a week.
