Neurological symptoms & sleep

Since 5G was forced into my home and a Cell Tower expanded in our neighborhood we get so many more headaches and sinus issues. I'm terrified to know what it's doing to our bodies that only time will tell.

individual consumer, patient wearables whoop. Briefly wearing/interacting with it lead to headache, arm weakness on arm worn and feeling electric. Turning off Bluetooth did not help. Each time removed device, symptoms went away. 50+ years old.

I am a 52 year old female. I had lived in West Michigan for most of my life and had dealt with ocular migraines but never had the painful headaches. I was living in a suburb of Dallas Texas for a about 5 years, and started getting painful migraines and severe brain fog. We had a camper in rural East Texas and I started noticing that when we stayed out there away from the powerful wifi and high voltage lines I felt better. When we had to drive home, I started getting a headache about 30 minutes from our house. I was then diagnosed with papildema and IIH. My husband and I decided to move to east texas full time. It took us months to find a home as I had to stay at the house and wait about 30 minutes to see if a headache started or if ringing in my ears became louder. We were blessed to find a place surrounded by trees and pond on 6 acres in Crockett Texas where there was minimal cell and wifi service as well as the high voltage lines. Now when we need to go to Dallas for appointments, when we are getting to closer to town, i can feel a headache coming on. if we have to stay for a few days i wake up in tears because of the migraine. we recently travelled to the panhandle of Texas and there was a patch of highway that was lined with with high voltage lines, not knowing we were coming up on them, i noticed a headache coming on, then a while later, i saw the lines. when we drove out of the area, the headache subsided. I also want to mention when the campground is full and everyone is using their wifi and cell phones, I usually get a headache within 24 hrs of my stay. I do wear a baseball cap to help minimize the exposure. it has a copper lining. and it helps tremendously. The brain fog and headaches are the major symptoms.

From the book The Non-tinfoil Guide to EMFs by Nicholas Pineault: As Martin Blank, PhD reports in Overpowered: since 1990, Lai has been tracking the studies of the health effects of RF radiation on humans published around the world. He has hundreds of studies in his data base. Approximately 30% of the studies were funded by the wireless industry and 70% are funded by other sources that are presumably more independent. Of the industry-funded studies, 27% demonstrated a biological effect in human resulting from RF exposure vs. 68% for the independents. Lai explains that “a lot of the studies being done right now are purely as PR tools for the industry.” The US & Canada FCC limit for RF radiation is 61.4 Volts/meter. The next closest is Belgium (21), Russia, China, Italy, Luxembourg, & Switzerland (6), and Austria (.02). Sleep disturbances resulting in fatigue can occur from as low as .047 V/m. REM sleep is affected at 13.72 V/m. Male fertility is affected as low as .036 V/m with testosterone being negatively affected at 43.42 V/m. Brain function is affected at .14 V/m (headaches, behavioral problems), .55 V/m (memory), 1.94 V/m (blood-brain barrier leakage), 11.07 (oxidative stress on the cornea), and 13 V/m (oxidative stress on the brain). Heart function is affected at .05 V/m (cardio vascular problems in general), 1.19 V/m (calcium metabolism in the heart), and 20 V/m (blood pressure, heart rate). Children are affected starting at .11 V/m (headaches, inattention), .33 V/m (ADHD), .78 V/m (memory), .87 V/m (leukemia), 2.17 V/m (kidney development problems), and 25 V/m (bone growth problems). This is going to be the fate of mankind wherever 5G is used. I wouldn’t want that on my conscience.

I am reporting significant physical and neurological symptoms that I associate with exposure to 5G and other electromagnetic fields (EMF's) I feel as though I can sense nearby cell towers before I actually see them. I experience what feels like electricity running through my body, severe headaches, nausea, and electrical sensations traveling down my arm and occurring in areas where I have metal hardware in my body. I also can experience difficulty concentrating, brain fog, and profound exhaustion that interfere with my abililty to function normally. These experiences are distressing and affect my overall quality of life. My medical history is complex and includes dysautonomia, MCAS, TBI, chronic inflammation and I do believe this has made it much worse, severe osteoporosis with multiple vertebral fractures, and persistently low iron stores. I have also experienced significant environmental sensitivities and have a history of mold exposure including stachybotrys. I am particularly concerned about the relationship between my environmental exposures, neurological symptoms, and overall health. Given my persistently low iron levels and exhaustion, I am concerned that environmental factors may be contributing to my declining health. I recognize that I cannot establish EMFs as the cause of my iron deficiency without scientific evidence, but I believe these concerns deserve further investigation. I urge HHS to support independent, rigorous research into radiofrequency radiation, 5G infrastructure, and other electromagnetic exposures. Research should examine neurological symptoms, headaches, nausea, sensory disturbances, concentration difficulties, fatigue, individual susceptibility, and potential effects in people with complex chronic illnesses. I also encourage researchers to investigate whether reported symptoms correlate with objectively measured exposure levels and whether there are identifiable biological mechanisms that could explain the experiences. My goal is to help advance research that provides clear answers about potential health effects and appropriate public health protections.

Re: RF/EMF Exposure, Human Health, Directed-Energy Technologies, Environmental Effects, and Institutional Accountability 1 History and Unanswered Questions Since 2012, I have experienced persistent, unexplained physical symptoms that have resulted in years of medical visits, diagnostic testing, and brain scans. My primary complaint has been a vibration- or frequency-like sensation throughout my body. For several years, these episodes occurred predominantly at night, sometimes with such regularity that I could practically set my watch by them. The sensations also followed me to different locations rather than appearing limited to one particular environment. During this period, I experienced difficulty walking straight, difficulty speaking correctly, and blurred vision. These symptoms resembled signs of a stroke, yet my evaluations did not identify a stroke or establish an explanation for what I was experiencing. I have continued to undergo medical monitoring and still experience frequency-like sensations and tinnitus in one ear. The tinnitus becomes louder when I experience the vibrations. I am asking HHS to recognize that persistent, unexplained symptoms deserve serious medical attention, objective investigation, and research. I respectfully request that HHS: 1. Encourage improved medical evaluation and documentation of persistent unexplained neurological and sensory symptoms, including appropriate investigation of potential medical and environmental contributing factors. 2. Identify research gaps in current diagnostic and environmental assessment methods that may limit the ability to investigate these symptoms without prematurely assuming or dismissing a cause. Children, Schools, and Wireless Technology Prioritize research on children's long-term RF exposure, including potential effects on neurological development, sleep, cognition, and other relevant health outcomes. . Their developing bodies and potentially long lifetime exposure make independent research on children's health an important priority. 3. Directed-Energy Technologies and Unexplained Symptoms I ask HHS to address the potential health implications of directed-energy technologies, including relevant radiofrequency and microwave exposures. Public discussion of unusual neurological symptoms among diplomatic personnel, often referred to as Havana syndrome, has raised questions about possible causes, including directed energy. These cases do not establish a single cause for all reported symptoms, but they underscore the importance of rigorous investigation when unusual health complaints arise. I identify as a targeted individual because of my personal experiences and concerns. I recognize that my symptoms alone cannot establish deliberate targeting or identify a particular technology. Nevertheless, I believe concerns involving possible technological exposure should be evaluated fairly, objectively, and through appropriate scientific methods. I respectfully request that HHS coordinate with relevant federal agencies and independent experts to: 1. Review evidence concerning the biological effects of relevant RF and microwave exposures, including high-intensity or pulsed exposures where appropriate. 2. Establish appropriate medical and scientific protocols for investigating suspected exposure-related injuries. 3. Improve documentation of unexplained neurological symptoms and potential environmental exposures. 4. Distinguish verified findings from hypotheses that remain unconfirmed. 5. Ensure that credible concerns receive appropriate investigation without presuming a cause in advance. The public deserves a credible process for investigating suspected harm, including the possibility of emerging or specialized technologies, without premature conclusions in either direction. 4. Environmental Health: Wildlife and Vegetation. Coordinate with appropriate environmental and scientific agencies to identify research gaps and evaluate real-world RF exposure biological, behavioral, reproductive, or developmental effects in wildlife and vegetation Corporate, Government, and Military Accountability Promote independent scientific review, transparent disclosure of relevant evidence and research limitations, and appropriate conflict-of-interest safeguards for studies used to assess the health and safety of RF/EMF and directed-energy technologies. 2. Support clear procedures for independent investigation, interagency coordination, and accountability when credible concerns arise regarding possible exposure-related injuries, including concerns involving corporate, government, military, or contractor activities, consistent with applicable privacy, security, and legal requirements. Public confidence depends on independent verification, transparent methods, and a credible process for addressing legitimate concerns. No institution should be exempt from appropriate scientific scrutiny, and no allegation should be treated as established without supporting evidence.

Hello, I used to live in the Paris region. I worked with computers, and I lived in a lovely house with my husband and our two children. In 2013, I could no longer sleep. I was exhausted, I had tinnitus and severe headaches. I searched the internet using these keywords and discovered that I was ElectroHyperSensitive. I could no longer tolerate cell phone masts after the mast near my home was upgraded to 4G. At home, I switched off the Wi-Fi, got rid of the DECT phones, the Bluetooth keyboards and mice, and turned off my mobile phone. But my neighbors’ Wi-Fi was causing me pain, and as soon as I went outside, other people’s mobile phones became unbearable. So I left my job and left Paris. I moved to the countryside with my children, living in a mobile home on a friend’s land. Then a mast one kilometer away was upgraded to 4G+, and I had to flee again. Eventually, I found a house deep in the forest... and I feel well there. But as soon as I go outside, I suffer. So I have been confined to my house for 14 years because of EMR Syndrome. I no longer have access to medical care, I can no longer attend choir practice, I can no longer go to my children’s end-of-year performances, or attend parent-teacher meetings. This is no life.

I first want to say, thank you for opening the floor for us to speak on our experiences with EMF. I want to preface with I had never thought of myself as sensitive to EMFs. When people spoke of the dangers of EMF’s, my general attitude was that we just needed to build resilience to be able to handle the world. That was, until my body was no longer able to buffer its effects. It started with small things. My hands would ache when I’d hold my phone for too long — this often remedied when I’d get an EMF sticker for my phone. And then in 2021 I moved to an apartment complex in Arizona. For 4 years, I had increasingly concerning symptoms — but it took me almost 4 years to understand what it was. Extremely high EMF exposure — later confirmed on an EMF meter. After moving into this apartment, suddenly my tolerance for airports & travel went to zero. I soon after had my first panic attack on an airplane (I had been an avid traveler my entire life), and panic began to be the baseline from which my body lived. But I wasn’t mentally anxious, it was purely physiological. This led to extreme blood sugar swings, low blood pressure, muscle and bone pain, and debilitating neurological symptoms that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. When I’d go to hotels, I wouldn’t sleep and would be in a state of panic the whole night. I’d get in a Tesla and get dizzy and it felt like my whole body was being suffocated from the inside out. I would go to city centers and feel an immense sense of panic and have to immediately leave, I couldn’t make sense of what was happening. It was then, that I finally realized the common denominator — EMF exposure. And I’d finally concluded that the levels I was being exposed to in my home, took away any ability to buffer the outside world. Once I realized this, I sought out a low EMF home to test this theory. Overnight my symptoms went away. My blood sugar stabilized. My reactions calmed. I no longer struggle with airplanes and hotels. My body has slowly made its way back to normal. But I want to note, this was almost impossible to find. I searched every rental home in my city and almost every home had EMF levels equal to or greater than my original exposure. There were 5g towers on every corner. It felt almost impossible to escape. And for the average American, they don’t have the knowledge or resources to find a safe home — and as we continue to expand infrastructure, the odds of being able to find a home like mine — only go down. I work with clients around the country who all suffer from similar issues. Who are severely sensitive to EMF, can’t financially afford to escape it and spend their life savings trying to get better. We have to do better for our citizens. This is only going to get worse unless we make a concerted effort to stop it. And stop putting money and power ahead of the health of our people. Thank you.

Where to even begin... 30 years ago cancer was listed as number 10 on the list of mortality causes and today in 2026 it is listed in the number one spot as the top way someone will likely die. One in three people in our country today have cancer. Why is this? It only seems logical that the only thing that has changed within the last 30 years is the introduction of electromagnetic fields of radiation into our lives 24/7 365 via cell phone cell phone towers and Wi-Fi. Shortly after my son was born I had crippling pains in my GI tract that took years to finally realize it was from using my computer with Wi-Fi. After hardwiring my computer to ethernet I no longer have these GI issues at all and can comfortably use the computer. I did an experiment of keeping my cell phone turned off for several weeks not using it at all and just from doing that for the first time ever I had absolutely no PMS symptoms at all and absolutely no issues with my ovulation. Upon turning the cell phone back on immediately I started getting a headache and having chest pains. Just getting away to smaller towns where there is still LTE towers I feel so much better lighter happier more energetic and then immediately when I return to the city where all the 5G towers are I get tired fatigued irritable headache heart palpitations... The ONLY thing that has provided me with relief (besides avoidance) are BluShield devices. Without BluShield devices I could not function and would be bedridden. I long for the days when I could go to dinner be out and about in public go to the ballet go to the city to the art galleries etc and be able to live a normal life without being in so much pain and discomfort because of all of the cell phone towers Wi-Fi and cell phones being used. I'm seriously looking into moving to the national radio quiet zone near the green Bank observatory to get some relief. Sadly, though, it appears that school there is starting to use Wi-Fi now so it will be curious to study the results of that for example if the kids are now absent many more days due to illnesses as they were not sick before the introduction of wi-fi.. to look into the numbers of that in some kind of study and to study the connection between EMF and the horrifying rise in autism and ADHD to look and compare communities such as the Amish who do not use technology and their cancer rates to the rest of the country where cell phones and Wi-Fi are used.. I desperately want to go back to the days such as in the 90s where all we had was landline or even the early 2000s where it was hardwired internet I just want to feel good and have energy and be able to connect with the world and people without having to put myself at risk of getting cancer to do so. Unfortunately, 99.99% of the population seems absolutely addicted to their cell phones. If they can't give up their addictions even if it means they are destroying their health maybe a viable solution would be to install giant BluShield devices right by cell phone towers... "Where there is risk there must be choice" but, unfortunately, we have no choice because cell phone towers and the radiation they admit is everywhere. You simply cannot get away from it. We need to be able to have a choice! We need places/ cities where there are no cell phone towers and no wi-fi so people can make a CHOICE for themselves whether they want to live in a safe zone or not a safe zone- we need those choices!

I am submitting this comment in response to the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Request for Information regarding Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I write to you as a concerned parent and as an individual whose own childhood health was severely impacted by wireless radiation exposure. My interest in this issue stems from lived experience. As a teenager, I suffered from severe, unexplained, and debilitating headaches. Unknown to us at the time, the home’s wireless router had been installed directly in my bedroom. Years later, after discovering research regarding the potential biological effects of RF/EMF exposure, I realized my childhood symptoms aligned with documented physical responses to radiofrequency exposure. Once I significantly reduced my exposure—replacing wireless internet with grounded Ethernet and keeping my cell phone in airplane mode 95% of the time—my health improved dramatically. Today, when I am exposed to heavy RF environments, such as close proximity to 5G infrastructure or dense cellular usage, those same negative impacts return. This personal journey highlights my single greatest concern: the unique and heightened vulnerability of children. Children are not simply smaller adults; their developing nervous systems, thinner skulls, and higher tissue conductivity mean they absorb proportionally higher levels of radiofrequency energy than adults. Today, children are exposed to wireless radiation at unprecedented levels—in their bedrooms, classrooms, and everyday environments—from a very young age. Given that my own health suffered as a teenager from a single router, I am deeply concerned about the cumulative, lifelong impact today's constant exposure will have on our youth. Thank you for providing parents and impacted individuals the opportunity to share our experiences and advocate for the protection of future generations.
