Reports EHS beginning after Wi-Fi installation, later severe symptoms near meters and airport emissions, …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a patient who lives with electro-hypersensitivity (EHS). This is my journey. Around 2007, my husband and I got WiFi. Within the week, I lost my ability to digest most foods: sugar, all fruits, some vegetables, dairy, etc. I lived on a very small range of foods (e.g., meat, eggs, rice, fish, oatmeal, lettuce). Every 6 months, I had new symptoms. They included burning sensations on my face (accompanied by red sunburn even when I didn't get exposed to the sun), aches and pains, brain fog, muscle twitches, heart palpitations, IBS, insomnia, etc. My doctor tried to diagnose me, but he could not. I didn't have lupus (despite a lupus rash), I didn't have fibromyalgia (despite the fact I could no longer walk or bike), etc. This went on for about eight years. In 2014, smart meters were installed in my neighborhood. A meter was put right outside my bedroom window. I soon developed tinnitus. The ringing in my ears was so loud I could not sleep. In 2015, my world collapsed. I could feel text messages sent by people who had cell phones near me, I could feel airplanes approaching the small airport near my home before I could hear them, I could feel Wi-Fi. It was pure pain. It felt like my head was in a vise. My heart would lose its rhythm. I could not concentrate. I wanted to die. I had to quit my job and live in a house without electricity. (My husband and I would turn it on for a few hours each day to keep the food from spoiling and to wash the clothes, and I would go outside.) My doctor refused to treat me. He said that if he diagnosed me with EHS, he would lose his job because the condition is not recognized by the AMA. I found an alternative doctor who would treat me. He told me I had to move away from the airport. My husband and I rented a home, and we had a building inspector come out and take measurements. He helped us lower the dirty electricity in the house. He told me to sleep with the power turned off in my bedroom. Doing both allowed me to live in a house with the electricity on. Once I was away from the smart meter and the radio traffic from the airport, I built up tolerance to being on my computer again using ethernet. IT WAS TORTURE. There was no help, no disability, no insurance, no money. I could not work. After six months, I could return to work, but being around cell phones made me sick. My face would flush, I would feel weak, I would get migraine-type headaches, and my muscles would twitch like I had Huntington's. I lasted less than a year before I quit my job and retreated to my rented house. I received treatment from two alternative doctors, neither of whom could heal my condition. They did, however, provide medicines that help manage symptoms. I am still at home. I can now walk around the neighborhood again. However, I cannot be in most public places because being around cell phones and WiFi makes me feel weak and brain-foggy, like I am recovering from the flu. I am still unable to hold a real job. I can be on my computer, provided I use ethernet. I can be on Zoom for about 90 minutes before I develop a headache. We would all be better off if we had a better scientific understanding of how electromagnetic frequencies affect the human being and used that information to inform public policy. Other countries are studying this matter. Ours should too. I would not wish my condition on my worst enemy.

A former computer teacher reports recurrent respiratory illness and later tinnitus, describes improvement…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I feel it and I know that the radiation affects my health. For over 20 years I was a computer teacher and I battled respiratory infections 2 to 3 times a year. I was prescribed antibiotics, antihistamines, steroids, cough meds, an inhaler, and I used a netti pot. When I retired 2015, I did not get sick for 4 years. During those years I developed tinnitus. I am able to control the respiratory issues by using supplements and other remedies. I have been relieved from the tinnitus whenever I can get away from the 5G and wifi. This past year has been worse than previous years. Our area has strong radiation now as my phone often shows 5G+ and we don't need Wifi extender in our house. I pray you can do something to help!

Reports electromagnetic intolerance, neurological symptoms and severe housing, work and social restrictio…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am commenting here as a person that has been living electromagnetic intolerance since 2008. This has changed my life. It started when i realized by body was reacting to a router (I was living with roomates and I did not know the existence of internet routers) which prevented me from sleeping throughout a full night) and made me walk in a zig-zag pattern after a week of exposure. That was totally new to me (2008). The frequencies highened through the years and going to the city affected me in a way I needed 2 days to recover. Once, my brain swell was important enough that I had a little seizure. Since then, I use protective garnments, covering my full face and upper body when I go out where it is irradiated with wireless frequencies. We feel it in a very sharp manner (needle going throught the body/head, pressure on the heart, body burning...) I know SO many people going through hell (heart problems, eyes, nerve pain, burning througout the body, spasms, depression, constant 24/24 headaches, ...) because of wireless technology. I have a couple of friends that took their own lives because of physical pain and incapacity to be part of this society. It is very difficult also to find a place to live that does not create body pain and symptoms since wireless sensitity is associated to electrical sensitivity. So in resumé....no possibility of working, to house ourselves correctly, seclusion because of radiations everywhere and almost everybody have a cell phone/watch. The only doctors that would give us a diagnosis (not even a handful here) have been rebuked and threatened by their professional order. We need help... thanks for the work Mr Kennedy

Requests assessment of cumulative classroom exposure from routers and devices, protective daily limits an…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Public schools have a WiFi router in the center of each classroom, usually fixed to the ceiling, and it is on 24/7. The teacher and the 20-28 students (avg.) per day assigned to each classroom are within 4-18 feet of this WiFi router for 6-7 hours each day (approx.) Please consider the health and behavioral affects this may have on those assigned to a classroom. Additionally, smart boards for teaching and learning. Guidelines on proximity and duration to protect the teacher and student populations is requested. Each student is assigned a computer and each teacher has 1-2 computers, which are on or charging in the classroom all day. What is the cumulative affect and total exposure to the potentially harmful EMFs that all of these devices in sum total emit to each person? What should the daily limit for each student/teacher/worker/human be? Shouldn't a sum total daily limit for human consumption include close proximity to above ground electric transmission towers? Estimation: approx. 3.8 million public school teachers, 49 million students, and millions of other citizens who are working in public schools. Request to examine physical health affects, daily limits, ways to mitigate, and behavioral and mental health affects.

An Italian commenter reports EHS, symptoms at measured exposure levels, shielding needs and major work an…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello, I am 50 y.o. EHS person, from Italy. I became Electro Hypersensitive around May 27th 2022. All of a sudden my laptop caused me nausea, fatigue and insomnia. Also Wi.Fi, mobile phone, cell sites, bluetooth devices, electric motors...started giving me these main symptoms in a range of time from a few seconds to two hours, depending on the amount of the electromagnetic field and/or radio frequencies. I bought several meters, especially the Safe&Sound Pro II for the radio frequencies. I feel good and I do not need any shielding clothes up to 3 microWatt per square meter. Up to 1000 mW/m2 I can resist a couple of hours if I am pretty shielded (overall suit, hat) At 3000 mW/m2 I resist a couple of hours only if I add the facial net, but it is challenging and I have to escape to a safe place, if there is. At 50.000 mW/m2 (when a cell site is on sight) I resist no more than 20 minutes with my shielding clothes. With a cell phone calling in my hands (3 million mW/m2 at contact level) I resist for a few seconds. So I can't take trains, buses, many airplanes, big ferry boats (due to the radar). The only way I can use a computer is to keep it beyond a wall and to use a video projector beyond a tin window with triple glass. Many houses are off limits (for WiFi and antennas) and most of the cars, too. I lost my career in film-making when I became EHS. Thank god I can teach in kindergartens and I live in one of the few healy houses left. Otherwise I would have to abandon my wife and my son and I would starve in the woods. EHS is not a nocebo effect at all. We always get the symptoms first, then we discover the cause. The solution is to use cable connections everywhere (for mobile phones, too), wherever electricity arrives, indoor and outdoor. Easy and safe. This is the future. Thanks for asking and for reading.

Reports atrial fibrillation, breathing difficulties, pain and sleep disruption around Wi-Fi and smart met…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been having many EMF and EMR symptoms since 2011. Many heart symptoms, such as atrial fib and shortness of breath, when around high wifi fields. When the Smart Meter was installed on my house, I had difficulty sleeping. Had to be hospitalized for atrial fib after standing in front of a smart meter for a few minutes. I still cannot sleep if cell phones or any other wifi devices are turned on while sleeping. Aches and pains in my body when exposed to strong wifi fields. Shortness of breath when in restaurants with many smart tv's, so I stay out of restaurants now.

Reports long-standing electrohypersensitivity, initial improvement after household mitigation and later d…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
For over 15 years I am electrohypersensitive . In the beginning it was only to wifi . In the meantime I am sensitive to all kinds of high frequency radiation and also to electrical and magnetical fields . My story began when I first had a wifi installed in my house . I was recovering from an infection at that time and at a certain point I became so ill that I couldn’t take care of myself . For over 2 years I wasn’t able to talk fluently , to walk as I used to walk , I was sensitive to sound , light , my sleep was completely disturbed , … I didn’t know what was going on . At a certain point in time , my next door neighbour had solar panels installed on her roof . Nothing wrong with that . But around that time my health deteriorated even more and … the higher I came in my house , the more ‘drunk’ I felt ; and when I again came to the ground floor , that ‘drunk’ feeling improved a little bit . This was so strange . Thank God I had at that time a very good GP , medical doctor , who asked me about ‘changes in my environment’ and laughingly , not knowing why he asked me that , I jokingly said : ‘hahaha , my neighbour has put solar panels on the roof.’ My GP ’s reaction was very serious , saying : ‘this can become a different story’ . I then asked a mitigation expert from the Netherlands (at that time there weren’t many) and I had the wifi switched off and some other changes . AND in less than 2 weeks time I again became ‘a different person’ , again functioning normally , feeling much healthier , so many symptoms and sensitivities disappeared . In the course of those 15 years I’ve tried to cope with the increasing amount of radiation , but unfortunately in the past 7 years my health again has gotten worse . There is too much radiation for me and I also became sensitive to electrical and magnetical fields . I have no wireless devices of any kind in my house and my electricity network is shielded . But my neighbours , the community , the town … the amount of EMF has exploded in the past years . It has become very hard , or hardly impossible to leave my house , to have a social life , to visit relatives or friends and even then I am ill each and every day . Is there a place for us , people with EHS , where we can live a healthy life ?

Reports illness associated with wireless exposure, shielding at home, loss of employment and severe restr…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
In the 1990 decade my well-being (health) decreased because of the introduction of 2G communication. Later the density of 3G, 4G, 5G WiFi and mobile phone increased enormous. I had to shield my house against the wireless communication signals from outside and of course there is no WiFi in my house. And I also can not use a mobile phone, because I feel sick during and after using it. Also after visiting a clinic or hospital for more than 1 hour I am exausted for 2 days or more. I had to quit my job because the wireless frequencies of WiFi and the use of smart-phones by my colleagues made me sick. I also cannot go to a cinema, theater, concert, restaurant or travel by air, because Wifi and phones So my social life is almost on hold.

Reports disabling dizziness and head pressure associated with wireless exposure, household rewiring and m…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Please do more research into the health effects of EMF. Our family had had to wire up our house with bo wifi, use faraday cages, and get rid of utility smart meters because it caused massive problems for me with dizziness and head pressure to the point I could not stand. I cannot fly because the massive amount of wifi trapped in the airplane acts like a faraday cage and makes my head feel like it is exploding. This is a REAL issue affecting way more people than you know. As it took me quite a while to figure out the connection and many people never know why they are feeling this way. As wifi towers proliferate the world becomes harder and harder for me to live in.
