A former contractor reports self-described Havana-like symptoms and a brief episode of psychosis, feeling…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I had began receiving Havana Syndrome like symptoms upon receiving my equipment from the Pittsburgh CDC location for a job as a contractor at the CDC. I experienced symptoms related to psychosis and felt that I was a targeted individual - someone who experiences V2K and is harassed by a mob of people. My router was acting funny as well - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09G5W9R6R?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title - and I began receiving odd search results through linked router. I was able to work fulltime as a contractor but due to the work environment as well as my brief psychosis but somewhat believe I was being studied. I previously had a galaxy s20 I believe as well as Iphone 13 max, both 5G related phones in my tenure as a contractor there. I never received treatment and symptoms relieved after quitting the position.

Reports reproducible headaches near a mobile hotspot, improvement with distance or switching it off, and …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello, Please look into mobile hotspots and headaches. I work remotely and when I do so from a car, coffee shop, airport or where have you with my hot spot on I get a headache within 1 minute. When I work without Hotspot, no headache. Its repeatable and consistent for the past 5 years. I do notice however when I place the mobile Hotspot more than 6 feet from me the headaches are gone or much more subtle. When the Hotspot is turned off, my headache resolves within minutes. Perhaps its rare or some people are more sensitive than others, but this is a real issue for me and makes me concerned what the health effects are. I dont suffer from headaches otherwise and am in great health. I've taken into consideration confounders like posture, stress, poor sleep, long sessions but the issue remains. I've even had my friend "blind test" me by turning a hotspot on and off near me without telling me and I was able to tell every time. Thanks!

Reports persistent tinnitus after years sleeping near an electric meter and its cables, despite moving to…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
For twelve years I slept with my head not ten feet from my outdoor electric meter, and all the cables going into it. I of course was on the inside of the wall. I developed tinnitus just a year into this. It’s never ending. I’ve since realized it, and moved to the other side of the house. But I still have the head screeching.

A healthcare practitioner attributes rising insomnia to smart meters and wider EMF exposure, describes pe…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
As a concerned healthcare practitioner, parent and citizen,I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. In the past 20 years, my healthcare practice has shown a drastic increase in patients with chronic insomnia along with all the other chronic disease that shows up in the human body when it does not get to repair itself from a decent night’s sleep. Most people wake up now about 3 am as a result of the data dump on smart meters. Then everyone continues to get assaulted by all the EMF pollution in our homes, cars, places of work and cities we live in for the rest of the day. Even going out in nature has radiation humming. There is no escaping EMF pollution currently. Removing people from their immediate environment is a temporary fix. There are certainly ways to lower EMF pollution in the home, which shows drastic improvement in symptoms for those affected. We shouldn’t have to do that. We should have our federal agencies looking out for human health so we don’t have to take such drastic measures. I personally have watched many friends become aware of this unavoidable pollution throughout the years as well. I look forward to seeing HHS hiring the best scholars in medicine, biology, epidemiology and public health and examining the large body of evidence exposing the health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Alongside these studies, individual experience of the detrimental effects citizens are reporting should be examined closely and brought to light. HHS responsibility is to protect the health of our citizens, especially the children and other vulnerable populations from any health insult, especially the big ones that have already done so much damage like wireless radiation. Thank you for giving the public a chance to tell HHS our experiences, research and opinions so that we may be heard and you may step up. I so look forward to you turning the tide in this critical health issue.

Reports new EMF sensitivity and neurological symptoms around the period of COVID and 5G deployment, incon…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello, ever since the 5G rollout, I have experienced neurological issues that I never had before. Tingling in my head, limbs ect. I have become very sensitive to EMFs and never had an issue before. I have had full MRI scans for MS and beyond and I keep getting told that my nervous symptom issues are unexplainable. It took me over 6 months to get into a neurologist in my area with many clinics taking no new patients. My nervous system constantly feels in overdrive. I never had these issues before COVID or the 5G rollout. Sincerely, a 37 year old active female struggling with environmental challenges.

Reports recurrent headaches near Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and cellular devices over many years, describes reducin…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
When I am close to a Wi-Fi device e.g., router, phone, laptop etc., I get headaches. The same with Bluetooth devices and cellular devices. Because of this, I usually turn off those functions on my devices as much as possible and keep them as far away from me as possible. I’ve noticed this for the last 10-15 years. This is not something that I was told is true, it is something I have and continue to observe. I’m very cautious about it being potentially psychosomatic, but after this occurring consistently for so many years, I’ve ruled out that it was simply psychosomatic.

Describes severe neurological, cardiac and other symptoms beginning after smart-meter installation, attri…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
It started in 2011, when a smart meter was put on the house. I began noticing a burning sensation on my skin, the kind that felt like a radiation burn—flushing, tingling, pins and needles that settled hardest around my head and chest. Headaches followed, excruciating migraines that would not let up. My eyes felt jiggly and unstable. There was a constant internal vibration, as if something inside me was humming. Weakness set in, then deeper weakness in my arms and legs, along with trembling. My joints ached and went numb. One eyelid began to droop. My heart raced. Shortness of breath came with it, and chest pain that felt like the start of a heart attack. I grew faint and, more than once, passed out. Vertigo made the room tilt. My ears hurt. Sleep disappeared; insomnia left me awake through the night. Nausea turned into vomiting. My stomach stayed unsettled. I could not keep enough fluid in me and felt dehydrated. Through all of it ran a heavy malaise, the sense that my whole system was failing. I would get “sunburnt” sitting inside the car. The signals bounce around the metal interior and pass through the body. It was a long road to discovering the culprits. Exposure leaves me basically disabled. The triggers include dirty electricity, ungrounded electricity, surveillance cameras, cell-phone signals, electric transmission lines, electric cars, smart dashes, smart watches, smart televisions, Wi-Fi, 5g, LED lights (I can use only incandescent bulbs), and anything that emits a microwave signal. We sold our forever home at a loss and moved to a remote place with no cell service and no smart meter. I keep only hardwired electronics, an old landline, and older appliances with no smart features. After moving-I secured a new job that was in an all electronically wired building. I left my job after the building allowed cell phones inside and installed Wi-Fi printers. Before that it had been a high-security workplace where everything stayed wired, and that had been tolerable until that point. I cannot go into a store or sit in traffic among other people’s phones. Stepping back to this necessity lifestyle has used up our monetary resources. I can't earn an income. To understand what had happened to me, I read the work of Dietrich Klinghardt, Joseph Mercola, Martin Pall, and Mark A. Plinsky. I have also found a few organizations that offer a lot of information on how to avoid and remediate emfs and rfs in every day life. The complaints I live with—the skin burning, the crushing headaches, the fatigue and weakness, the heart symptoms, the ear pain and jaw pain, the internal vibrations, the dizziness, and the insomnia—match the cluster those sources describe in people who attribute their illness to electromagnetic fields. The setup required to minimize my illness is very isolating. It would be good for the American public to be more informed. This is a very real problem. It is a health emergency for many. I believe that folks don't know what is happening to them-and doctors/caregivers don't know where to look for answers-as this is not generally recognized as a mainstream problem. It should be.

Reports better sleep and well-being after reducing electrical and wireless use, mentions a cancer history…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Here’s what I know. When I stopped using the outlets in my bedroom by my bed I started sleeping better. When I started having my Starlink automatically shut off between 9-6 am I started sleeping better. When I leave all devices out of the bedroom at night I sleep better. I stopped wearing an Apple Watch and I use wired headphones. I feel better. I’m a two time cancer survivor so I know what affects my body and what doesn’t. With minimizing or eliminating I find that it’s just better. Can we please allow 3G again? I would go back to a blackberry in a heartbeat. New is not always better and we moved too fast with tech.

Reports clinician-diagnosed electromagnetic radiation syndrome, headaches and insomnia, describes tower a…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have suffered from Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome for over 6 years. It was diagnosed by two clinicians. Our home is near a cell tower and we had to take significant measures to remediate our exposure not only to the cell towers, but also to our exposure to all the smart meters in our neighborhood. We have no WIFI in our house and painted the walls in our bedrooms to block the radiation coming through. It gave me headaches, insomnia and aggravated my Lyme disease. It's especially bad inside a newer car with all kinds of smart devices. I was made aware of more people who had the same issue and became an EMF Consultant. I have clients who suffered horribly from their exposure, and many didn't have the financial resources needed to mitigate the problem. This is a serious problem. Our government agencies must do their due diligence to protect the people from this ubiquitous environmental toxin.
