I was also subjected to my neighbors' wifi signals and their cell phone transmissions, and lived within 900 feet of a cell tower. My symptoms included: brain fog, depression, leg cramps, insomnia, severe tinnitus, and skin cancer that required two surgeries to successfully remove. I purchased an EMF meter to read the radiation output, but could not get the levels down low enough to sleep in my bedroom, despite shielding the walls. Consequently, I was forced to sleep on my living room floor. My only remedy was to move to Oregon, where I could replace the smart meter with an analog one, use a copper landline for telephone calls, and completely hardwire my internet connection. Since then, most of my symptoms have disappeared except the tinnitus. However, despite all of the precautions I have taken to protect my health, I cannot spend time in a crowd of people using their cell phones, nor in a building bathed in wifi. I'm lucky that I know how to protect myself, but most people are unaware of the damage that EMFs are doing to their mental and physical health. I pray that you will see fit to reassess the danger of EMFs so that no one else will ever be subjected to the suffering that I've had to endure.","attachments":[],"attachment_names":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filing/26110082782","filing_type":"COMMENT","proceedings":"ET 13-84","capture_reviewed":false,"captured_at":"2026-10-22T22:34:45.363Z","supplied_classification":null,"tags":["health-experiences","sleep-neurology","cancer","towers-antennas","wifi-devices","wired-alternatives"],"source_hash":"0acdf31caa18b2aa4f78d4d7d1e5b401f8f8e0497b924d68181796e1a780aaef","slug":"health-experiences-filing-26110082782","classification":{"id":"26110082782","body_sha256":"c65c87df81cfccdc65df3c6bc042bab9c8fe3e570ffad12ae5c30e1d7dad5d19","status":"text_matched","primary_topic":"health-experiences","topics":[{"id":"health-experiences","evidence":"My symptoms included: brain fog, depression, leg cramps, insomnia, severe tinnitus, and skin cancer that required two surgeries to successfully remove."},{"id":"sleep-neurology","evidence":"My symptoms included: brain fog, depression, leg cramps, insomnia, severe tinnitus, and skin cancer that required two surgeries to successfully remove."},{"id":"cancer","evidence":"My symptoms included: brain fog, depression, leg cramps, insomnia, severe tinnitus, and skin cancer that required two surgeries to successfully remove."},{"id":"towers-antennas","evidence":"I was also subjected to my neighbors' wifi signals and their cell phone transmissions, and lived within 900 feet of a cell tower."},{"id":"wifi-devices","evidence":"In 2016, I developed EMF hypersensitivity (EMR Syndrome) shortly after being exposed to 5 electrical and another 5 gas smart meters on my apartment bedroom wall while living in California."},{"id":"wired-alternatives","evidence":"My only remedy was to move to Oregon, where I could replace the smart meter with an analog one, use a copper landline for telephone calls, and completely hardwire my internet connection."}],"summary":"","method":"Local topic rules v1; exact supporting passages; not an AI or medical review","scope":"Captured filing text only.
