Life-threatening episodes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Hege\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

From 2000 to 2006 I experienced a number of serious incidents that have marked my life. From the year 2006 it calmed down, and I thought I would finally get to relax. However, my body did not respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first symptoms showing up were fatigue, dizziness, palpitations, strong pulse, irregular body temperature, with chilliness and heat waves interchangeably. I was partly functioning, I worked, being a mom etc. Years passed – in a way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2011 I got a viral infection that did not let go, and I got an antibiotic cure against pneumonia. My body was considerably weakened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My body collapsed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the years my health progressively got worse, and in 2013 my body completely broke down. I tried to tell the changes that happened to my medical doctor, however, I felt I was not heard. The doctor gave me the diagnosis depression and prescribed antidepressants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2014 I consulted a new doctor who took me seriously and showed interest. I went through a psychiatric evaluation, where depression was excluded as the main problem. I was diagnosed with ME (chronic fatigue syndrome) and the only help \/ treatment was activity adaptation, which helped a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My head swam, and my memory and concentration were miserable. I had palpitations, rapid pulse and was highly light and sound sensitive. I was burned out and tired all the time. Still I was sleepless at night. My stomach was upset, and I had a constant pain in my body. I was drained of energy. I could not drive because I was bothered by dizziness, and my balance was lousy. I could no longer take interest in my children\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2015 I received, via acquaintances, good information about a summer course in Zhineng Qigong at Nossebro. I went there – hoping that my health might be better. I presumed, however, that I would have to lie on a mattress during the whole course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total improvement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after the course started, great changes occured: I managed to stand during all the exercises. I could even keep my balance standing with my feet together. I also found myself dining with many people in the dining hall \u2013 without any problem. At home I have not even been able to sit at the dinner table with my own family. My head became clear, and I was able to concentrate. Concerns were minor. My body was calmer, softer, and the pain subsided. I could also surprisingly sleep at night in a room with several other people. I thought that would be impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I can see a brighter future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
