The commenter reports severe symptoms and loss of work following wireless meter installation, acknowledge…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment as an individual to share my personal health experience and to ask HHS to give serious consideration to people who report health effects they believe may be associated with RF/EMF exposure. My experience began in approximately 2018, after wireless utility meters were installed near my home. Before that time, I was healthy, working, running my own business, traveling, and functioning independently. Within a relatively short period after the meters were installed, I began experiencing symptoms that were very unusual for me, including nausea and vomiting, severe insomnia, palpitations, migraines, tinnitus, dizziness, balance problems, weakness, whole-body tingling and numbness, burning eyes, temperature dysregulation, and profound fatigue. I also developed persistent numbness and pain in my hands and feet and difficulty concentrating and functioning normally. Over time, these problems became severe enough that I was no longer able to work. Activities that had once been ordinary became increasingly difficult. I have had difficulty typing and using my hands, difficulty sleeping, and periods of weakness and dizziness that have affected my independence and my ability to safely carry out everyday activities. My medical records contain documentation concerning effects from electromagnetic fields/radiation, as well as chronic fatigue and neuropathy. I have continued to seek medical care and evaluation for these problems. One of the most significant observations in my experience has been what happens when I am away from my home environment. During periods when I have stayed elsewhere, including a period at my sister's home where there were no smart meters, I experienced noticeable improvement in my symptoms. I have also noticed improvement during shorter periods away from my home. I recognize that these observations alone cannot establish causation, but the repeated difference I have experienced is one reason I believe this warrants further scientific and public-health investigation. My exposure concerns have continued as additional electric meters have been installed near my residence. Multiple electric meters are now located near my bedroom windows. I became so concerned about my bedroom environment that I have been unable to sleep there for an extended period and now sleep on my sofa. It is difficult to describe what it feels like to no longer feel comfortable in your own home. I lost my ability to work and the financial independence that came with it. I live on a fixed income. I never expected that I would reach a point where sleeping in my own bedroom, concentrating, using my hands normally, feeling steady on my feet, and simply having enough energy to get through the day would become difficult. I am not asking HHS to consider my individual experience as scientific proof of causation. I am asking that experiences such as mine be taken seriously as health observations and considered alongside the scientific evidence when identifying research gaps and determining whether additional investigation is warranted. I believe particular attention should be given to long-term and cumulative exposure, individual susceptibility, real-world exposure conditions, and people who report significant symptoms in connection with wireless and utility-meter environments. I also believe that people who report these experiences should have appropriate medical and public-health resources available to them rather than having their experiences dismissed simply because the science is not yet settled. I have photographs, videos, medical records, and other documentation relating to my experience and the environment around my home. I am willing to provide supporting documentation if requested. I am sharing my experience because I do not want other people—particularly children, older adults, people with existing health conditions, or others who may be especially sensitive to environmental exposures—to find themselves struggling in their own homes without their experiences being heard and properly investigated. I respectfully ask HHS to continue investigating reported health effects associated with RF/EMF exposure, including non-cancer effects, long-term and cumulative exposure, individual susceptibility, and real-world exposure conditions, and to ensure that appropriate medical, biological, and public-health expertise is included in that work.

The commenter reports a spouse's chest symptoms after a meter installation and describes unsuccessful eff…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Thank you for a forum. The story we have began when 5g rolled out in conjunction with the arrival of a smart meter on our house. We first noticed my wife getting sensations in her chest while on the couch which happened to be where the meter was on the outside of the house. When we requested help from met-ed or First Energy, we were told you have 2 choices, have no power or move to another state. We contacted the PUC and if you look into it no had ever got favorable results. We have done everything possible to REDUCE EMF's and she is less often irritated but during high internet usage and certain times of the day she still gets stress symptoms. Unfortunately no doctor will even try to listen or address the issue in any way but lable her DELUSIONAL. Have a conversation with her and will quickly understand that to be unfounded just their way of dismissal.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I live probably 1/8th of a mile (as the crow flies) away from two towers that have 5g attached to them. I can see them clearly from my house. I have been waking up with headaches quite often over the past few years. I have also noticed that it's hard to drift off to sleep and am often still awake at 2 or 3 in the morning. Brain fog is another side effect that has been happening, as well as having heart palpitations off and on throughout the day. I honestly don't think that the towers are our only health issues. We are being sprayed on a daily basis by airplanes with millions of tons of toxic metals and other toxic ingredients. Now we have data centers popping up everywhere and we all know that they are causing us to have health issues and draining our resources for something that we absolutely can live without. We don't need 5g . We did fine without it. It's like a giant microwave oven that is slowly killing us and all living things around it.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The affects of EMF/RF Radiation has ruined not only my permanently injured my health but has also robbed my home from me! Five years ago, I purchased my dream home in Rockwall, Texas, which is loaded with towers and began feeling sick within weeks after purchasing it! Dizziness, major, heart, palpitations, headaches! I began to lose my eyesight and developed severe hip and lower back pain. My naturopathic Doctor Who owns the Health food store here asked where my smart meter was and much to my horror. It was on the other side of the wall from my head where I was sleeping. It just about gave me endometrial cancer!!! Two years later they moved up to 5G and blasted us and I lost that house and haven’t been able to pack it up because every time I go back there it makes me sick. I’ve had two realtors quit because they get sick being on that corner and around that part of the neighborhood.. as it turns out that Location is within 1 mile from up to 70 cell towers and antennas! Everyone talks about how they feel sick in our town. It’s beyond terrible and on top of that I feel a detachment from my life and deep depression that I’ve never felt before until they blasted us with 5G!!! Every day at 5 o’clock many of us have heart, palpitations, headaches, a feeling of haziness and blurred vision! Imagine what this will do to us long-term! I am now having hormone problems connected to breast health that I’ve never had before. This is causing my health to fail for sure, and it has ruined the quality of my life! Thank you so much for launching this investigation!!! Please stop these terrible towers or we are in trouble! Cellular radiation has absolutely ruined my life! I have never been sensitive to it until they moved up to 5G and started placing all of these towers everywhere and now I’m just dealing with a depression from it all because it just seems hopeless at this point! Because of the level of radiation that we are dealing with here, I am not able to live in my beautiful home and have to power through the health symptoms while I’m there packing it up! Needless to say it’s taking us forever to do so!!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My surgeon implanted a new pacemaker inside me in August 2025. Before the surgery, I had asked him if the pacer generated any radiation. He said no. Afterwards I learned that my new pacer contains a Bluetooth device that generates EMF throughout the day for warning signals. It also generates EMF for my pacer interrogations every 3 months. I was very concerned about this because I've read numerous medical articles that report a connection with EMF and cancer. I asked for the Bluetooth to be turned off. A representative from Medtronic, the manufacturer, said he could turn off all the Bluetooth warning signals but not the Bluetooth EMF emissions for the periodic interrogations. In addition, the EMF would last for 30 minutes AFTER each interrogation, or for 2 hours every year. I've read that EMF changes DNA in a cumulative way, so that suggests that the EMF, embedded in my tissue and above my left breast, could be increasing my risk for breast cancer. As a result, I have stopped my pacer interrogations as well as the warning signals. The surgeon told me that no research is intended for the Bluetooth device in new pacemakers. I thought this intention might suggest that the manufacturer was concerned that there could be a cancer link with the Bluetooth in its pacemakers.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I developed serious heart Arrhythmia and was advised to get a pacemaker. Instead I did some research, and discovered that my laptop, which I work in front of every day, was emitting high levels of mircrowave radiation from its antenna, even though I used an ethernet cable instead of wi-fi. I had the antenna turned off, and my Arrhythmia stopped. Wi-Fi is so damaging to health, and because it is everywhere, Americans are becoming very unhealthy.

The commenter describes severe symptoms attributed to wireless and electrical exposures, loss of access t…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been a computer graphic designer since the 1990s. In 2022, when I turned on the WiFi of a new, more powerful router, I had a sudden, overwhelming reaction and had to evacuate the house until it was turned off. Since then, I have been unable to expose myself to radiation from wireless devices, mobile phones, WiFi, Bluetooth or cell towers without wearing a whole shielding outfit. The last time I went shopping bareheaded, I lost consciousness and was taken to the hospital emergency department, where the doctor told me never to expose myself to synthetic EMF radiation again. When exposed to radiofrequencies or EF/ELF from the AC electrical grid, my symptoms are: • Heart palpitations • Dizziness • Brain fog • Speech difficulties • Stomach pain • Sweating • Breathlessness • Weakness and fainting • A sudden, urgent need to urinate • And, a few hours later, herpes/shingles When not exposed to radiation, I am in perfect health. In 2023, an additional cell tower was installed 1 km from home, and I can no longer access my own garden or the upper floor without protection. Despite a medical certificate from the environmental pathologies department of a hospital, my requests for accommodation or assistance from public and health services are dismissed. The consequences for my life are disastrous: • No longer any access to public spaces. • No longer any access to healthcare: I am losing my teeth and fear dental infection or hospitalization, which would be impossible given radiation levels in healthcare facilities. • Dismissed by doctors: the last ones I consulted either made fun of me or offered psychiatric care, which is inappropriate for my environmental issues. • Dismissed by government administrations. • I am socially isolated because almost everyone carries irradiating devices, while my condition is not widely recognized, and most people do not believe EMR Syndrome is real. • I cannot relocate: finding a home without neighbours, far from a cell tower, and without a smart meter is now almost impossible. I am living on borrowed time as levels keep increasing and there are no longer any no-RF zones to take refuge. For years, without adequate information about the dangers of radiofrequencies, I used a cordless phone, a mobile phone and WiFi, trusting that regulatory limits protected me. If I had had real information about the dangers of RF, I could have chosen wired connections and calls at home, because all this wireless technology was not necessary. The same lack of information meant I was unaware of the need to ground every device connected to the mains, although this is easy to manage and would probably have prevented or alleviated my current situation. I am part of the international collective EMP Victims. At www.empvictims.org, you will find more than 4,600 signatories to our Humanitarian Appeal and numerous video testimonies from people around the world living similar situations to mine.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
For the past 6 years I have become intolerant to cell phones, computers, WiFi. My symptoms are EXCRUCIATING headaches, ear stabbing pain, burning scalp sensation, hair loss, insomnia, heart palpitations and chest pain. Just being on my phone and texting this is painful to me. I know without a shadow of a doubt what is causing it, as when I completely avoid, I am symptom free. I have sought out MANY different doctors, treatments and have literally spent thousands of dollars to try and help ease my symptoms. Please, please, this is no joke. We are being radiated and no one seems to care. I know of MANY people that have similar symptoms and experience electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Something needs done. Thank you for listening. Appreciate it. Sincerely, Kim Patton
