I got electrosensitive about 6 months ago after being exposed to a smart meter nearby (I was almost "attached to it" for a couple of days as I did not pay attention that there was a smart meter), and at the same time I started working in a new office room very near to a base station with especially high RF levels.
I experience symptoms from phones, wi-fi, base stations, practically any wireless technology, but unfortunately also from electrical fields (when devices I touch are plugged into a power outlet, and cars) and electromagnetic fields (cars, power lines ecc). Especially phones and hybrid and electrical vehicles, subway and train are detrimental for my health.
Just a couple of days near to a smart meter and base station made me this sensible, but of course previously I had been exposed to many RF fields with various levels for years, as they are ubiquitous.
Now I get symptoms quite fast, in a couple of minutes, depending on the intensity of the exposure. Symptoms include strong tinnitus, headache, cold and numb hands, insomnia, pain and “waves” in my face and head, tiredness, nausea and rarely, after longer and strong exposure, also vomiting.
I have not got any specific medical treatments, as there is no understanding in the health care system about this condition. I got help and advice from peer support groups. I am still looking for specialist that could help me.
Luckily I have been able to continue working, at least for now, with specific keyboard, mouse, ethernet connection and asking collaborators to switch their phones in airplane mode when we work face-to-face. My work place has had a very understanding attitude. A crucial element in my capacity to work was leaving the premises where I fell ill as soon as I understood my symptoms were connected to radiation. Now the premises where I work have quite low back ground levels.
In 2014 when I first got a smart phone I began getting super high pitched tinnitus. Being surrounded by WiFi is a culprit I believe because when I’m out of the area and use a faraday bag, it greatly decreases. I get such high pitch sometimes it actually hurts & it’s a range of pitches. Sometimes it’s oscillating. It makes it difficult to think a lot of the time. I feel more drained than when I’m away from a lot of it. I can’t say for sure EMF/ELF is the cause but I distinctly remember it began when I got a smart phone & people in my apartment building began getting a lot of WiFi.

11We are all sensitive & regularly use technology. All of my friends have illnesses. I don't. Why? Because I protect myself?
The 5G fiber optic and large amounts of WiFi in apartment complexes has made it impossible for me to live inside the city. I still work in Nashville TN but I cannot sleep there’s I have to sleep in my car and drive out 35 minutes out of town every night in order to actually get somewhat productive sleep. My story is in this YouTube video. I have gone through enormous troubles with this. Suffice it to say it must be severely difficult, and I must have tried everything else I could think of before sleeping in my car full time year round. Without any HVAC during the nights. Even when I could technically fall asleep inside the city, my mental and cognitive health was so unbearably bad that I could not function or feel stable at all while I was trying to make it work sleeping in the city. nnEMF drastically inhibits the body’s ability to produce neurotransmitters, so when I am feeling irrationally angry, depressed, completely unable to focus or think clearly, and it those problems vanish when I actually start sleeping well by sleeping outside of the 5G range, it is obvious that I was feeling so completely unstable as I was because the 5G was making it impossible for my brain to produce neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin,etc) correctly.
I have never done cocaine, but from what I have heard, the crash afterwards is absolutely horrendous, because cocaine artificially releases all of the dopamine in your body (or way way more than normal). So the next day, your dopamine tank is way way emptier than it would ever be otherwise.
I have never done cocaine, but I still felt the same crash, because 5G kept my brain from being able to make dopamine. Check out David Herrera “Solar Athlete.” His breakdown of this science has really helped me as well as his protocols for getting healthier. But make no mistake, those protocols aren’t going to make it possible to just tough it out. You still have to get out of the 5G coverage.
One more thing. I really truly see that if we continue on this path, severe mental health problems are going to skyrocket. Schizophrenia, borderline, suicidal ideation, severe depression and anxiety, (the actually scary kind) where you really don’t feel in control. All of these disorders are downstream effects of the body not being able to properly produce or balance neurotransmitters and hormones. And because 5G seems so nebulous (many people don’t feel it or notice that they feel it) , also because mental health problems seem so nebulous, I fear that these problems will skyrocket as a direct effect of 5 and 6 G severely oppressing our physiology BUT NO ONE WILL REALIZE THAT 5G IS THE MAIN CAUSE , so they will send all of these otherwise normal people to institutions or write them off as crazy and leave them to the streets.

To those individuals functioning at HHS:
We need more stringent RF radiation exposure standards in the United States.
There is a great deal of evidence of harmful biological effects spanning many decades that have been reported in peer reviewed, published, scientific journals. Some of these harmful biological effects are: sleep disruption, headaches, disruption of cell membrane channels, DNA damage, disruptions to heart functioning, leakage of the blood-brain barrier, increased risk of cancer, oxidative stress, anxiety, behavioral disruptions, memory loss, and decreased fertility. There are also anecdotal reports of fatigue, feelings of pressure in the head, nosebleeds, hair loss, ringing in the ears, nausea and ‘brain fog' after exposure to wireless radiation.
The subject is complex and it requires a thoughtful and precautionary approach.
It is very important to understand that radiation exposure guidelines have been declared inadequate by numerous scientists and medical doctors, especially because they were written with adults in mind and not for children. Our children are being exposed to unprecedented, unevaluated, unregulated levels of microwave radiation without complete study, without proper discussion, and without informed consent.
I urge the individuals at HHS to rely on appropriate health and biological expertise and to create better policies focused on precaution and guidelines that adequately protect the public.
The burden of proof lies with those who promote the technology. Rather than asking concerned citizens to prove that RF radiation is harmful, the ones who promote the technology, and those who benefit financially from the technology, need to prove RF radiation is safe.
This issue matters to me personally because I get heart palpations and earaches. My husband also experiences ill health and disrupted sleep with exposure.
I urge the HHS to give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence before it and to fully address each of the issues.
I enclose for the record a report of evidence of biological harm from RF exposure. This report, written and compiled by Martin L. Pall, PhD, (Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Sciences, Washington State University) is:

Sincerely,
Judith Story
At 22 years old, I was diagnosed with a skull based Meningioma behind my right ear. I was studying in the university library when my left ear bud fell out of my ear and I couldn’t hear music in my right ear. My life would soon change forever. I first found out I was deaf in my right ear and then after an MRI showed a meningioma. I received a cell phone for my 13th birthday and the location of the Meningioma seemed to line up. We always wondered if it caused my brain tumor. It was extremely rare for a 22 year old to get that type of tumor, and rare that it was hard and sticky. This caused me to lose function of the right side of my body. I had to learn to walk again, read again, word finding and speech was difficult. I still managed to graduate college, and after 6 months of therapy, I went to graduate school and became a mental health therapist. At 34 I was pregnant with my first child, which most likely caused it to grow again. I am about to have a second surgery, and pray it goes better than the first. I also pray I can safely carry another pregnancy. More research needs done to ensure safety.
These towers need to all come down they're giving cancer to children when they're putting near the school in Brazil they took them all down because the crime rate went up that's what's happening here now it's out of control it messes with the brain makes you angry mean and hateful and vindictive it's unhealthy to have these frequency radiation penetrating our house and our bodies I painted my house with Marine lead paint to stop it from coming in I change the screen Windows to copper even the electric meter puts in electric frequencies to not let you sleep I put copper ring around it to stop that and reverse the electricity that they're overcharging us with the new meter people are going to get really angry and start taking them all down it's going to be like a civil war all over again whoever's putting them up are mass murderers just like Bill Gates who profit off a killing people worse than Adolf Hitler I guess if you're a billionaire you could kill people and get away with it you need to do something about this and fast before an epidemic of these continue to harm us people will fight back and start destroying these towers doesn't take much to take him down battery powered sawzall on both them let them fall you had better do something quick we are getting tired of it why isn't your organization do anything about it don't you care or you in on it too population control it's a lethal weapon what don't you understand
In August of 2024 I was in my car waiting for a traffic light to turn. It's a busy intersection of highway 110 between Whitehouse and Tyler Tx. At that intersection is a large water tower and at the time two other cell towers all with 4 and 5G panels. While just sitting there in traffic a sudden multi toned sound came into my head/ears. I would describe it as a high pitched ringing. It's about a 6000hz frequency. It never has gone away and has been 26 months now. I'm 65 and never had a problem with tinnitus at all. Look at the symptom dangers on this placard that telecom techs put on cell towers.
Our society seems to have become dependent upon technology. But this does not mean we cannot take into consideration the health effects of EMF, RF and wireless radiation. We can and we must. Thank you for opening this comment period. I hope we can ALL learn about the impacts, which are obvious to anyone paying attention (my own body reacts and I cannot sleep if there is a wifi router in the vicinity; my ears ring and buzz).
