I spent 19 days in the hospital under the care of an infectious disease specialist, Dr. McDonald, who saved my life.\nIn the months leading up to that hospitalization, I was avoiding cell towers, light bulbs, and even refrigerators because I associated them with the symptoms I was experiencing. After my hospital treatment, I felt fully recovered—but about six weeks later, the symptoms returned.\nFor the past three years, I’ve continued to experience these symptoms. Although they’re not as severe now, I can usually spend only about 30–40 minutes around electronics before I begin experiencing headaches and body aches. I’m still looking for answers, and I hope to see a new infectious disease specialist soon. The image shows about $400 worth of EMF blankets from an Amazon purchase, which do not work!","source_hash":"75bd21732b4c61f9efce87762623afe9e14470db57822039393d13cd155614fc","filing_type":"","proceedings":"","captured_at":"","source_name":"","number":"1963","withheld":false,"attachment_inventory":true,"capture_reviewed":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1963","slug":"health-experiences-comment-1963","tags":[],"attachments":["https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1963/attachment_1.pdf","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1963/attachment_1.jpg"],"attachment_names":{"https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1963/attachment_1.pdf":"inbound5983612581124531908","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1963/attachment_1.jpg":"inbound5983612581124531908"},"classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1963","body_sha256":"141a556b7c56e66fd27935343cbbefa1123817ee8a692220e17aef56099b40fa","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"neurological","topics":[{"id":"neurological","evidence":"ound electronics before I begin experiencing headaches and body aches.
