Reports gastrointestinal symptoms and insomnia near a tower, resolution after moving, and self-described …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I briefly lived across the street from a Cell Phone tower. I lived on Lantern Crest Cove in Lantern Ridge subdivision in Metro Atlanta. The cell tower was just across the neighborhood street from my door. It was a small tower with only one triangular antennae array at the top. It was LOW... much shorter in height than any other tower I have seen. This tower (per GoogleMaps) has now been relocated within the neighborhood to the next street over. I can't tell if it is now on a taller pole (from GoogleMaps.) Prior to moving to this townhome in Lantern Ridge, I enjoyed spectacular good health. I took no Rx meds... and still don't. I had no chronic conditions... and still don't once I got better after moving away from the cell tower. I was an Aerobics Instructor from age 35 to age 50. I have continued fitness classes multiple times weekly to this day. I am now 66 years old. A lifetime of healthy habits and good genes has blessed me with uncommonly good health... except for my few months spent across the street from a cell tower, I developed nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, insomnia and night sweats. I felt like a rope was knotted around my stomach. I couldn't eat. I lost 10 pounds... from 125lbs to 115lbs in about 2 months. My tongue became swollen with raised red nodules... looking at it made me think that if the rest of my GI Tract looked like my tongue, then no wonder I had nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. It started with the nausea and diarrhea, but by the time I left the home I was vomiting every morning as if I had morning sickness from pregnancy. I was 60 years old and menopausal, so NOT pregnant. I have never experienced insomnia, but living across from that tower, I was awake with night sweats every night. The symptoms resolved completely once I moved, although it took a couple months to get back to normal. I only lived there a few months, and stayed with local family a good bit of that time once I realized the issue HAD to be the proximity to the tower. Its been 6-7 years, and I am long since back to my normal state of excellent health, but I will NEVER live close to a tower again. The detrimental health effects are REAL for those sensitive to the radiation. I guess I'm sensitive. Yay, me. My neighbors that I spoke with during my short time on Lantern Crest Cove denied any ill effects. I think I would have eventually died, unless its possible to build up a tolerance to the radiation. It distresses me to no end that SCHOOLS seem to be a favorite place to put cell towers!! Beeming radiation right by the KIDS all day long!!! Even if they don't experience what I did, HOW can we just assume it's safe??? For the love of God, stop capitulating to the Powers-that-Be who think cell towers on school grounds are a great idea! I swear, sometimes I think they really ARE trying to kill us all!! Best regards, C Kornman, RN,BSN

Reports headaches, light sensitivity and visual disturbances after prolonged computer use, with improveme…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been getting headaches from long hours on computers and laptops for 30 years. In the last 10 years my vision started to get worse, and now I have extreme light sensitvity, and my vision becomes blurred if I'm working on documents for more than a couple of hours. When I don't use the computer my vision improves, and if I have to do a lot of work on a computer my sight gets almost greyed out, I see patterns and spots, and sometimes white spots when I close my eyes.

Reports EMF sensitivity, pain and travel restrictions, objects to smart-meter installation and fees, and …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
EMF has effected me since before 5G, 5G makes me sick, headache, angry, pensive, want to curl up in ball and cry. Use 3 forms of protection on my body and many more in my home. We don’t have 5 G in our town yet but some ignorant moron just put up a tower right in the middle of our town The entire town will be under the DEW when they turn it on. I can’t go to big cities anymore to see my kids, the EMF makes my heart hurt and I can’t even begin to relax. It’s awful. You do know Scientists and the Military call Cell Towers DEWS, they know what’s going on and something needs to be done before they send a frequency through the towers that kills every living thing on this planet. I will be glad in the future when we can bring suit against this evil for the pain and suffering they cause a lot of people. There are no regulations and the Safety people of these companies are totally ignorant to EMF sensitivity. Told my Electric company not to put a Smart Meter on my property, they waited until I was gone and installed it anyway. I haven’t been able to sleep in my bedroom since. Called them to get it removed, they said it would cost me $1700-2000. The PREC so called Safety person didn’t even know what EMF is. So Pathetic! Something needs to be done. Or they can introduce 6G and it can kill all the morons that took the Covid 19. Either way something needs to be done or USA will be Italy or Ireland where the public are burning down Cell Towers for making their kids sick and killing them. The EMF laws are from 1996, and that’s totally insane, 40 year old regulations in EMF saturated environment. Sounds like it’s time to get up to speed or stop the EMF killing fields. But I know this is all about money and the government doesn’t give one shit about how EMF is hurting people. Can you tell EMF makes me angry? Should make everyone angry enough to do something! Especially the government! Do something!

Reports family illness attributed to a bedroom router, meters and other exposures, and difficulty finding…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Our story began when we moved into our "new" 100 year old home, when the Cox internet installer asked where he should install the router. My desk was in my bedroom, so I asked him to install it there... 5 feet away from where I sleep. Then came the smart meter. I began having health problems, but nothing compared to my daughter and son. With a connective tissue disorder, we are considered "sensitives" or "canaries." My daughter spent 8 years sick and mostly bedridden her freshman year. GI problems, neurology problems, chronic pain and migraines, insomnia, nausea, dizziness... On top of what we dealt with in our home, the cell towers, the "free wifi" everywhere, and devices in theirs and everyone else's pockets created a never ending escape from assault. We didn't know what it was at first. Specialists and doctors aren't aware of EMFs, so they weren't much help. Then a picture of "Radiowave Illness" came across my facebook feed and it was every symptom my daughter experienced. I thought I had dealt with all the EMFs, until I used a dirty electricity meter and realized there is a wiring issue in our house creating really bad dirty electricity. I could not find an electrician that even knew what dirty electricity was- how were they supposed to fix it? The dangers in radiowaves have been suppressed and ignored to the point that the industries creating them have no clue what they are doing or the harm they are creating by their ignorance.

Reports tinnitus after nearby towers were erected, with sleep and concentration impacts, and requests res…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My comment regards the need for testing emf radiations. I developed tinnitus in my ears during the covid lockdowns when cell towers were erected without public input. It affects my sleep, concentration, and communication. Please address the need for science on the effects and harms of this form of radiation.

It isnt quiet at night anymore. I wear ear plugs, but still sounds like a motor running outside all night. So it has to be a frequency. I hate it!

Describes severe illness with multiple possible exposures, reports symptom changes after wireless reducti…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
September 30, 2026 I am submitting this response as an individual reporting my firsthand experience with wireless/RF exposure and changes in my health and functioning that I have observed over many years. For most of my life I was healthy. I went to college and graduate school, had part-time jobs, and then taught high school in Texas from 2012-2017. And then I got sick. There had been some warning signs, including migraine (starting 2014) and fatigue, but the illness became so severe and seemed to come out of nowhere in 2015. I saw 52 doctors over two years. None could determine what was happening or offer an explanation for the severity of my symptoms, and the primary treatment offered was various pharmaceuticals. Looking back, I see that several environmental exposures were occurring at the same time. I was working in a school where our classrooms were under a gym. A coworker across the hall had visible mold in his room. The spring before I became severely ill (2015), the Wi-Fi router in the building was upgraded and placed directly outside my room. The building I moved into to live had more than 50 floors and antennas on the roof, and was across the street from a hospital with its own antennas. Hundreds of people lived in the building, with their own routers, cell phones, and other wireless devices. I cannot determine which exposures contributed to my illness, or to what degree. However, over the years I began noticing a consistent relationship between reducing my wireless exposure and changes in specific symptoms. For example, health professionals have informed me that mycotoxins (which I have high levels of) are increased by EMF exposure, and that heavy metals in the body (which I have high levels of) are made worse by EMF exposure. This is an additional concern that other health concerns are made worse by EMFs. When I was staying with friends while trying to find suitable housing (2017-2020), I asked them to turn off the Wi-Fi router at night. I noticed a significant improvement in my sleep. I also told my cardiologist about my observations when I was undergoing a Holter monitor evaluation for heart palpitations. I had noticed that the palpitations were worse when the Wi-Fi was operating. I subsequently began reducing my wireless exposure wherever possible. I use wired Ethernet connections for my computer and phone, keep devices in airplane mode when possible, and not using Bluetooth devices. My overall health remains poor, but I continue to notice exacerbation of my symptoms with increased wireless exposure. I can often tell without looking at my phone whether it is transmitting or in airplane mode because I experience an intense frontal headache when it is transmitting. I have also experienced a significant change associated with the cell tower nearest my home. When the tower underwent an upgrade (2026), I experienced a substantial increase in headaches, migraines, head pressure, fatigue, and brain fog. These symptoms have affected my ability to function in daily life. I am currently exploring ways to reduce my exposure while sleeping, but remain exposed during most of the day. My experience has left me concerned about the cumulative and largely unavoidable nature of wireless exposure in modern life. I live in a rural area and have deliberately reduced wireless technology in my home, yet I cannot eliminate exposure because of nearby infrastructure and wireless signals in the surrounding environment. I feel like the canary in the coal mine: someone who experiences significant effects that may be associated with exposure levels that most people encounter without apparent difficulty. I do not claim to know what mechanism explains my experience or what conclusions should be drawn from it. I am asking that experiences such as mine be taken seriously as information worthy of investigation. I believe research should examine not only exposure levels under controlled conditions, but also real-world cumulative exposure, changes in exposure over time, individual variability in response, vulnerable populations, and what happens when individuals reduce their exposure. People should also have meaningful information about the wireless infrastructure and sources of RF exposure in and around their homes, workplaces, schools, and communities.

Reports electrosensitivity, headaches and insomnia, describes costly avoidance and healthcare concerns, a…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
2.I am writing as an individual. 3. a. I am affected by mobile phones, ear pods, wifi, bluetooth and wireless technology infrastructure. b. I avoid exposure to wireless tech wherever possible but this is increasingly impossible, apart from in my own home or in nature, away from towns and cities. c. i experience pressure headaches, a hotness around the ear, agitation and insomnia. I also have chemical sensitivity which appears to be a symptom of electro sensitivity. The fact that I seem to react badly to conventional medicines means i have to avoid them and pay form naturopathic treatments which are expensive. The thought of the exposure i would experience if i had to be in hospital for any length of time is depressing. d. onset of symptoms is immediate and fades as i move away. I use barefoot grounding to help with this. e. I have spoken to my doctors about this but they are completely unaware of the issue and have not even bothered to update the information i have given them to my notes. f. I have spent money on devices that say they help but the only thing that works is avoidance, now almost impossible.
