Lightning Process
I am aware that there has been some controversy about this programme, but I undertook the training a few months ago after 20 years of CFS.
So far the improvement is very significant - I'm still getting some symptoms (no, its not an overnight 'cure'! - though my sleep did improve immediately) but the LP is giving me a way to deal with them far more effectively than anything else I've tried over the years.
I'd be happy to talk to anyone interested in hearing more. I did the course with Kate Simpson in Suffolk (simpsonandfawdry.com) and I'd recommend her highly for her straightforward and practical approach.

Hiya all,
This is my first post - not sure if I've pressed the right link, but here goes:
Just wanted to add to the Lightning Process thread (though this may take the discussion of its path)
At the RSM conference in July 'hearing the patient's voice' this did come up and it was mentioned that Phil Parker - the creator - has now agreed to it being tested so data can be collected to see if it really helps. (But it wasn't mentioned when they will start this testing.)
My understanding is that with some this works and others it doesn't, so maybe this will help us to make better decisions whether we want to try it out or not ???
Best Wishes, Anisha
Hi, I had everything on the usual CFS list of symptoms except for joint pain.
Although my symptoms were up and down (one or two days a month I'd glimpse what 'normal' felt like) my fatigue was so extreme in recent years that I'd had to give up even my part-time from-home job.
So I wasn't wheelchair or bed-bound, but I did the course with someone on crutches with MS, and she no longer uses them! I've just heard back from the other 3 I did it with - all have significant improvements.
You simply need to be willing to consider the idea that the concrete physical symptoms of ME (or MS etc) could be linked to the body being in false 'red-alert' mode, and that you can work on re-programming the messages in the subconscious.
If you phone a Lightning Process practitioner they will answer any questions at lenght and without charge, and give you phone numbers of people who have done it with them to talk to.

I would be curious to hear more details! Like specifically what it helped with, what was your condition like before the course, what kind of symptoms you had etc.
