ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
In 2016, I developed EMF hypersensitivity (EMR Syndrome) shortly after being exposed to 5 electrical and another 5 gas smart meters on my apartment bedroom wall while living in California. I was also subjected to my neighbors' wifi signals and their cell phone transmissions, and lived within 900 feet of a cell tower. My symptoms included: brain fog, depression, leg cramps, insomnia, severe tinnitus, and skin cancer that required two surgeries to successfully remove. I purchased an EMF meter to read the radiation output, but could not get the levels down low enough to sleep in my bedroom, despite shielding the walls. Consequently, I was forced to sleep on my living room floor. My only remedy was to move to Oregon, where I could replace the smart meter with an analog one, use a copper landline for telephone calls, and completely hardwire my internet connection. Since then, most of my symptoms have disappeared except the tinnitus. However, despite all of the precautions I have taken to protect my health, I cannot spend time in a crowd of people using their cell phones, nor in a building bathed in wifi. I'm lucky that I know how to protect myself, but most people are unaware of the damage that EMFs are doing to their mental and physical health. I pray that you will see fit to reassess the danger of EMFs so that no one else will ever be subjected to the suffering that I've had to endure.
