Neurological symptoms & sleep

I am someone who has become sensitive to EMFs due to medical conditions. I have Meniere’s disease, suspected third window syndrome, and vestibular migraines. I experience negative reactions to Wi-Fi and cell phones. When I am in an area with Wi-Fi, I feel unsteady and it almost feels like being drunk without the high. It takes a lot of concentration just to walk a straight line. It impacts my ability to think clearly and drive safely. I have also experienced migraines triggered by cell phone EMFs. I have found it necessary to purchase an EMF meter and avoid EMFs as much as possible My home is now free of EMFs, no Wi-Fi and cell phones are kept off. We live in the country and intentionally bought property with no close neighbors. When I leave my home, I wear a head covering made from EMF shielding fabric. If I must use a cell phone, (which is rare) I make sure my head is covered and protected from EMFs. The EMF shielding fabric only provides so much protection. I still get tinnitus and I find it very fatiguing to leave my home. I will often need to rest a day or two after a trip to town. EMFs are a stress on the body, and I believe due to my vestibular disorders I am affected by the signals more than most people. That said, I do worry about how EMFs may be impacting other people without them even knowing it. People that live in the city are continuously exposed to EMFs. You have to get away from it to realize if it’s a trigger.

Hello Mr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr, I am Isabelle Reine, French woman of 64 years old, and I live in a small town where 7 relay antennas were built during the lockdown covid19, en 2020, and the most nearly from my résidence is far from 150 meters. Since, I feel sick and very tired and I've got very more healt problems than before like insomnia, headaches, différentes pains and troubles (abdominal, lung ENT... ) I feel inconfortable and the nuisances physicals with waves, also earing, like noise pollution. Sometimes, also, irritated, lost of motivation, dépression, burning sensation inside. I've refused vaccination and connects meters for électricity and gas. For water, the équipment was installed, outside, without notifying me. I've got a phone 4G, a box, a PC, a TV at home. When I live some days, in a other place, far from antennas, I feel better and the noise polution stop. I see a real différence and I like to live in a better place but I can't pay for this. I hope all these nuisances will be stopped, every where, définitely and these ugly antennas will be to disappear from the landscape. idem for all others polution like chemtrails... Hoping better for the future and humanity all over the word. Lots of thanks for all you do, I believe in you. Best salutations. Isabelle Reine

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a patient. I have EMR Syndrome for 5 years now, it is very hard. I have headache, tinnitus, chronic fatigue, brain fog, etc when somebody uses a wireless device or when I'm near from a cell tower. I have to wear special clothes to shield, but it is not enough. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

Rf-tinnitus induced at far below public exposure limits Smart meters are here provided as an example (among many possible) of unprotective rf exposure limits in Canada, US limits not dissimilar. A complaint to Toronto Hydro re tinnitus induced by their then fairly recently installed meters, led inter alia to dosimetry checks. This email is from correspondence had between utility reps and complainant (myself): ..................... From: ck872@sympatico.ca To: mmarchant@torontohydro.com Subject: RE: RF Metering Issues Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:58:10 +0000 fyi: doing spot testing now near various meters, starting with 59 Charleswood Dr, as usual & expected at 10:24 a.m. & 10:39 multiple spikes detected ....................... We became aware of the inadequacy of Canadian (and thus U.S.) purported safety limits years earlier. Here was a manifest example backed up by professional dosimetry. Note the exact times mentioned in the email. The utility hired a third party to conduct pro dosimetry on their meters. Their report was not made public. Alongside this 3rd party professional, a Canadian dosimetry professional of long experience performed dosimetry followed by public documentation of his findings. His report can be found at https://slt.co/Downloads/Events/1039/TorontoHydro-SLT-SmartMeterAssessment.pdf If the charts are examined on pages 12, 16 & 17 of the pdf, complete corroboration of my earlier report above is evidenced, in testing done at two locations. Incidence of reported tinnitus has dramatically increased in recent times as RF transmitters have become increasingly ubiquitous, not only smart meters. Smart meters may be particularly provocative of this symptom, in corroboration of A Frey's research decades ago when it was found sharper rf spikes were most provocative. However these transmitters are neither exclusively provocative among rf emitters, nor is tinnitus the exclusive symptom provoked. Far from it. I had told the utility I "heard" the meters on and off all day when awake at home in central Toronto. But particular times were regular all day, at 9, 24, 39, 54 minutes past every hour (as partly noted in the email above). The independent dosimetry report charts completely validate what I was reporting about symptoms timed to meters' emissions. Note that slt.co said in its report, "In the past two years, dozens of Toronto and surrounding residents have contacted Safe Living Technologies regarding adverse health effects immediately after the installation of a Smart Meter at their residence. Hence the reason for our interest in the RF / Microwave Radiation output of Smart Meters and our willingness to assist Toronto Hydro in this endeavour. See appendix C for possible health effects." Tinnitus, including as induced by manmade electromagnetic sources, can and does have severe impacts on human well-being. In the slt report, mention is made of alternative public exposure guidelines, qv. Daryl Vernon Kawartha Lakes, Ontario, Canada tel: 705 454 8451

I live in Sweden and I write as an individual from my own experience. About 15 years ago or so, I started having heart problems, skin problems and strong headaches. I was unaware of the base station on the roof opposite, 20 meters from and in level with my home. At that time there was little or no knowledge about what a base station was or looked like. During six years or longer, I began to experience symptoms of sunburn pain in palms, soles of feet and mouth; heart palpitations and irregular heart beats; headaches and head pressure, nerve pain and face rashes, trouble swallowing, blurred vision and then nose bleeds. Unaware of why at the time, symptom decreased when I went away was in large buildings with metal roofs, like offices or malls, with no base stations and at times when there was few visitors. I was diagnosed with heart arythmia and tried antihistamin medication for skin problems but it made no difference. But after moving and having longer distance to base station I began to feel better. Skin rashes and swallowing problems disappeared, arythmia decreased from daily / nightly to a few unregular beats weekly; headaches decreased from every week to about once every second month; nose bleeds decreased from a few every month to once or twice a year. Since then I use cable wired devices with wireless turned off. I think on of the most important things is to get information about using cable wired devices and the "pros and cons". I am glad I got aware of the situation. But of course, I am sometimes worried about the more serious health effects it might have for me living so close to a base station. Some additional information: Bioinitiative.org scientists reviewed around 1 800 studies and summarized that "Chronic base station level exposures can result in illness." And that "Many of these bioeffects can reasonably be presumed to result in adverse health effects if the exposures are prolonged or chronic." (https://bioinitiative.org/conclusions/). In the livingroom sofa and bedroom – where I spent most of my time – the measurements was 10 – 30 microwatts per squaremeter (bedroom) and arund 2 000 microwatts per squaremeter (livingroom sofa). This was in 2017, with a Cornet consumer meter. In other part of the home it was higher. Most likely communication from 3G (2100 MHz and 900 MHz )and 4G (1800 MHz and 2 600 MHz).

Hi, need to slow down, reverse too many EMF transmission towers, smart devices, wifi. Personal health, when around multiple towers, I develop terrible brain fog. Government needs to study EMF for cognitive decline. Thank you.

In the beginning of 2021 I began waking up with nusea, slight headache and 'brain fog', felt like i had a 'hangover', except i diddent drink anything. For years before 2021 i had made it a habbit to always turn my wi-fi of at night, cause i would fall asleep much faster without the Wi-Fi on, and wake up feeling a lot better. By 2021, just turning of my Wi-Fi seemed to not be enough anymore, do i shielded my house from a nearby celltower, and quit all wireless stuff in my house.. bluetooth speakers, wireless thermostats etc. I also started using ethernet cables when at home, and installed dirty electricity filters in my house. It helped! I dont wake up with nusea anymore, my migraines are a lot less frequent, and my mood is better in general. Also.. my cat doesnt have flee allergy anymore, and have managed without medications since 2021. Adverse effects related RF-EMF seems to me to be obvious. Proving it should absolutely be possible. Thanx for taking this initiative to let people share their stories. Greetings from Europe.

Me myself notice hadache bad sleep, restlessnes, als the children after a days school in wifi all day have hadaches and are restless and don't sleep well

I dont sleep with the EMF for 4 apartments on the outside of my bedroom wall until i put Orgone pyramid there inside. I wear orgone pendant to harmonize emf to my body. I want all schools and hospitals to use Grounded , hard wiring ways for All computers and for kids ages 5- 18 to be off computers in school!!! And No cell phone towers within 3 miles of schools.,hospitals.

In the spring of 2006 out of nowhere and what seemed like no reason I started having severe vertigo, migraines, slurred speech, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, my whole body felt as though my skin was on fire. I had a 2 yr old son and one morning I went to get out of bed, however when I lifted my head my world shifted onto its side. I felt as though I had been drinking liquor the night before (which I hadn’t been). My head slammed back down I couldn’t even open my eyes to squint without severe vertigo. My husband rushed me to the emergency room which was not easy since I couldn’t open my eyes, my speech was slurred and wearing clothes felt like torture. Once at the hospital they did several tests and ran several scans. The scans all came back normal, however the hand/eye tests they gave me verified that there was definitely a problem. The doctor told me that I had a case of severe vertigo and they didn’t know why so the doc gave me a shot of liquid Valium and almost immediately I was back to normal. He sent me home with a small prescription of Valium and told me to make an appt with my GP. From that day forward my life was a living nightmare. I was unable to take care of myself much less my 2 yr old son with whom I had done the responsible thing with and had waited til I had been married for 7 yrs was 26 yrs old and was financially stable. Sadly the one thing I had longed for, had planned out meticulously in order to be able to raise my son, give him some siblings and my husband more kids was stolen from me. The next 13 yrs would be one disappointment after another where the medical field is concerned. I slept for days on end if severe weather moved in I would sleep starting the day before it moved in until the day after it cleared up. I lived in excruciating pain going from one specialist to the next begging them to help me then after examination and untold numbers of test they would first offer me OxyContin then it would spiral into me and the specialist screaming at each other. Me yelling at them I didn’t want their drugs and them yelling at me it was all in my head. I finally just started screaming “if it’s all in My head then fix my fucking head!” Oh you’re crazy it’s all in your head. There’s nothing wrong with you. You just want attention . Every doctor/specialist I saw I would ask them what is my body missing that I need or what do I have an excess of that my body can’t get rid of? EVERYONE OF THEM from the nurse, to the physical therapist all the way to the PhD’s would look at me as though I was crazy and then say to me word for word, “ what does nutrition have to do with your health?” I was flabbergasted each and every time! I finally accepted their pain meds at the lowest dose possible. I went from someone who had a photographic memory who scored on her ACT‘s in the one percentile to somebody who couldn’t even read I couldn’t focus. I’m almost 50 years old. I don’t remember my 30s and only the last couple of years of my 40s I miss funerals I miss weddings I miss graduations. I wasn’t there till loved ones goodbye or take care of them. I even allowed them to use an experimental contrast dye for an MRI. I was told I might lose my sense of taste and smell I honestly didn’t care. I should had because after that experimental dye, my symptoms grew severely worse. I couldn’t have conversations with people I couldn’t leave my house and my poor son was having to take care of me instead of me being able to take care of him, my husband lost his partner his friend his helpmate, and was burdened with a woman who couldn’t function. I was having seizures. The pain was more severe than ever. I lost years of my life. I have no recollection of which is another very disturbing thing since I had a photographic memory, I could remember from the age of two and up. The years I had looked forward to the most my son’s childhood I absolutely missed. I have no recollection of! I had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, PTSD, bipolar disorder, severe migraines, chronic fatigue, dissociative personality disorder. I was taking hydrocodone 5 mg, clonazepam 1mg as needed, gabapentin highest dose possible, fluoxetine and cyclobenzaprine.
