I had an autoimmune disease, then the disease had me (2013)

In case it's helpful to anyone who suffers from CFS I want to share a treatment which enabled me to recover 100%. It's called the Lightning Process:

http://lightningprocess.com

The theory is that CFS is caused by long term anxiety which sets off biochemicals such as adrenaline into your heart and bloodstream. These chemicals suppress your immune system and reduce your energy systems.

The treatment aims to switch off the source of the negative chemicals i.e. stop the anxiety. The methods are a mixture of self talk/coaching, posture changes, recognizing and confronting sources of anxiety and setting clear life goals to work towards a place of feeling less anxiety.

The LP was recommended to me by someone who also recovered from CFS. I'd say definitely give it a try if you are a sufferer of CFS, chronic anxiety or similar illness.

Do note that the constellation of symptoms associated with "chronic long-term anxiety" isn't exactly the same as the one for auto-immune disease; it's rather much closer to that of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cushing%27s_syndrome. CFS and Cushings are indeed probably related, though.
