ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 first starting noticing signs of EHS about 8 years ago. Brain fog mainly and headaches, insomnia and tinnitus. But it may have been affecting me a few years prior as I had unexplained hormonal issues with anemia. In 2021 my symptoms reached a new level with the introduction of 5G and possibly an affect from shedding of the covid vaccine? I would wake up feeling like I was dying most mornings. I had neck pain, followed by double vision (from left eye not moving correctly), a week later I had bells palsy also in left side of face. I saw a neurologist who told me I had MS, but would need an MRI to confirm, I told him I would but it would 'fry me'. He gave me a 5 day course of steroids- extremely high dose. This stopped the bells palsy within about 4 days, but the eye took another two weeks to work correctly. He told me I had inflammation of the Pons and upper brain stem. I was to see him 3 months later. At this point I rapidly shielded the majority of my home and bought a EMF shielding canopy to sleep under, along with a sensitive RF meter. I also started to seriously avoid all sources of RF. Getting shopping delivered to my home and only visiting places/ areas that I knew to be of low emission. At the next appointment (2022) he told me 'It's a miracle!' he repeated this several times during the manual examination. He told me he was expecting me to have to be given another strong course of the steroids for MS. But I was by then able to walk well and was feeling 'sort of' better. I reported what I had done and that I was EHS, he then told me that I could not have an MRI. And he would not be able to assist me in this direction or diagnose me with EHS. He wished me the best and informed me about using Google Scholar to research myself. Since then I have completely cleaned my environment of all RF and some problematic EF and EMF, which may have also contributed to my condition. Shield and avoid. What this actually means is I no longer have any social life as I cannot go anywhere near mobile phones or wifi or I will get ill very rapidly. It starts with the tinnitus getting louder- sometimes to the point of pain. My head feels full and pressurized. I feel the effects as a stimulant at first, talking rapidly. But after about 20 minutes this drains me into brain fog and fatigue. At about 30 minutes my legs will start to wobble, my heart will palpitate. My eyes don't see clearly, I will have an intermittent vocal tremor with stammering. These side effects will start to go once I am out of the high radiation, a slight effect can go in an evening, but more serious effects can last a few days or weeks. I am currently still suffering from a major accidental exposure that left me unable to walk correctly for nearly two weeks, along with neck pain and gave me a shadow in the top left of my right eye, which is still there over a month later. This sounds like MS to me and my eye specialist, but it was brought on by being exposed to very high levels for over 20 minutes. Possibly also to shedding exposure. I am currently having treatment from a homeopathic Dr, she has helped me to become somewhat tolerant compared to how I was a year and a half ago. I also take a host of supplements, drink and cook with ceramic filtered water. Try to eat organic, do not eat processed food. Do not eat gluten or diary (except a little cheese). The worst part is I can no longer attend family events, my son who came back to live with me after leaving Uni last year hates living here (rent and bills free, I also cook for him and help with his laundry) because he cannot use his phone (has to go down the garden to use it). He says this makes his life a misery as he cannot use it. Although he is supportive. I cannot visit my Mother, who lives abroad because I cannot fly anymore due to the radiation exposure. She is in her 80's and of ill health. I can't even go to the shops. I have one 'safe' route out of the city which gives me minimal exposure. But here at home I am surrounded by masts and RF from multiple sources. Even cleaning my van is a rush as it will make me ill. I am very glad that you are looking into this. Even though I am not in the US, where the US goes the world usually follows. And with knowledge hopefully things can happen, people can be educated. My wish would be seeing a reduction of radiation emissions from devices and masts. Technology that would allow me to also use a phone. But probably the best thing would just be recognition, so we can be diagnosed and maybe even treated. My symptoms could be MS triggered by EHS, or EHS showing as MS? There is no way to know. I just want my life back. I am living in a prison with no current parole. Thank you so very much, you have given me hope. God bless.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Thank you for being concerned about wireless technology. I wish more investigations had happened before we were inundated with this. I turn off all electronics including my router at night, but now am having to deal with a smart meter which i have no desire for,but will have to pay every month for a meter reader if I don’t accept!! My concerns aren’t just wireless radiation, but the large screens in cars, which take attention away from driving ( people driving erratically is now the norm) everywhere I go people looking down using their phones, and the discomfort people feel if their phone isn’t on their person. Thanks for listening.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I was working in a small office with a huge electrical board behind me, AND driving a car with blue tooth, AND Router, electric meter, etc. I was about to lose my job, because my brain was not functioning properly, until I figured it all out. I covered the ele3ctric board with foil, stopped using bluetooth, and covered the router and meter, and took iodine. It changed my life. Forever.

The commenter reports normalized thyroid tests after several lifestyle changes, including switching Wi-Fi…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My thyroid levels are normal for the first time in 20 years since turning off wifi at night and getting an hour of sun everyday. I was told to purchase medicine forever to compensate but I discovered a simple protocol after talking to a few other people with thyroid issues. One of my friends had to get their thyroid removed at 30 yrs old after working in a broadcasting tower and developing thyroid issues. I just figured the thyroid is the most sensitive organ to radiation so I should protect it . Now my lab tests confirm my anecdotal theory.

I startrd having have bad tinnitus... within 48 hours of my landlord, where I was living at the time... had put in SIX little BOOSTERS for the 5G he had in the house so everyone had a good signal.. my BEDROOM...was also over THREE electrical panels in the basement.. and his solar panel wiring came down through my bedroom closet where I slept. I have had MAJOR issues with tinnitus since then. It gets mu h louder.. ANYTIME I even drive by those stupid 5G towers! I know they are coming up.. before I even see them! THIS STINKS!!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I believe I have experienced detrimental health issues related to EMF/RF wifi and wireless radiation. My ears ring and other issues relating to devices. In the process of reporting concerns and seeking physical health evaluations but would like to know more about what is the reason for these effects and how are being controlled or is there any particular oversight comittee relating to these technological issues. it would be helpful to receive information that I can inturn share with friends and family to help document and relay symptoms and concerns. Identifying the source of these issues will also help with finding out how i prevent future exposures and become familiar with what what possible treatment options are too. I would be willing to share more if you would like more specific details.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 concerned member of the public who has become electro-magnetic sensitive. My EMR issues started in 2012 when I had a wireless modem installed in my home and I placed it on my desk instead of mounting the modem farther away in the room and up on the wall. After some time and experiencing like my brain was swelling with nowhere to go, It was trapped in the scull and a feeling of claustophobia came over me. I looked at the modem and saw that there was a switch to turn the wireless feature off which I did. But now no signal to the computer for internet. So, I ran CAT-5 internet cables to my 2 computers from the modem to the ethernet ports on the computers. I also turned off the wireless and blue tooth fearures in the software in the computer. I also turned of the wireless and bluetooth features in my phone and moved my smart phone away away from me to near the front door After 30 minutes the brain swelling disapated and the feeling of claustophobia went away. went away. 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 produced a video on You Tube about the dangers about EMR damage to society. Sincerely, Paul A. Hackman Stone Mountain, Georgia 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. Sincerely, Paul A. Hackman Stone Mountain, Georgia

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Yes! As I child i remember when i phone first came out and i could FEEL the wireless radiation, a slight burning feeling. There was also a segment on The Dr.s show where they laid out six phones from the audience on a table with a glass in the middle. They had each of the phones call each other, the glass fell over. The WiFi, the wireless, the cell towers, all have unknown and harmful impact on human health

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We should be provided all information regarding how harmful all EMF's are, a list of all devices that generate the radiation. The measure of RADs each device emanates. Exact distance from said device is safest. The ability to turn it off as necessary. (Between mobile data and wifi) Provided safety equipment list ie:head covering, blankets, emf protective paint or something to put on walls between rooms in the house.
