ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
1. & 2. I am responding as: 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)Wi-Fi/Smart Meters/Mobile Phones/MM Wave Airport Scanners/Cell phone towers 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):Since 2018 - Inability to sleep in an environment with Wi-Fi, extreme headaches, nausea. Extreme pain in legs after going through an MM Wave airport scanner inadvertently for the first and only time - I have peripheral neuropathy of my lower limbs. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:As above. 3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:My situation and intolerance to EMF’s was, I believe, caused by my exposure to fumes onboard aircraft which contain organophosphates. I worked for 20 years as a Flight Attendant and was acutely and chronically exposed to the chemical fumes. I have sensory issues amongst other health effects including brain injury and peripheral neuropathy as a result. I developed multiple chemical sensitivity in 2017 and EMF sensitivity in 2018. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?I have a diagnosis of Environmental Intolerance (Chemical and EMF’s) from my doctor. Not Idiopathic - as my doctor knows what caused it. I also have a diagnosis of Organophosphate Poisoning. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?I moved to a rural area of France with minimal mobile phone signal and into an old property with thick stone walls and no near neighbours. My laptop is hardwired and Wi-Fi in the house is limited to just 30 minutes twice a day. Avoidance is the only remedy and the only way to reduce/eliminate exposure. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:I have some scientific reports, but i’m sure you have them already. I don’t have an exposure measurements - I know exposure here is minimal. I moved away in order to avoid exposure as much as possible. I live a very different lifestyle these days which includes an organic diet, no chemicals in the house, and minimal exposure to EMF’s. The area I live in is an organic farming area and life is at a slower pace. Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's:No, I think I have covered it; but generally, I feel that unless you are personally affected or understand the true science on the issue, you can’t even begin to understand what people like me have gone through or the lengths we have gone to for our health - as well as our sanity. I have been lucky in that my doctor will read scientific papers, has fully investigated my health and understands the effects EMF’s can cause me. He gave me an exemption for the smart meters here in France and an exemption for the MM Wave airport scanners (for the very rare occasions I have to fly). B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects: B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you: B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed: B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy): B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless: B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant: B3. For each subquestion please list up to 5 drugs or therapies or home remedies (if any) B3a. That you recommend, as they helped you tolerate or recover from EMF exposure: B3b. That you recommend, but you’re not positive that they help: B3c. That helped you but you don’t recommend. (e.g., the benefit did not last long or the side effects were too harmful): B3d. Treatments that had no effect: B3e. Treatments that made your sensitivity worse: B4. What is your age range? B5. What year did you become aware of your sensitivity to wireless radiation or electromagnetic fields? B6. What country, state, province, or major city were you living in when you first noticed your sensitivity to wireless or electromagnetic fields?
