We don’t often get a window into the life of a person with EHS (electro-magnetic hypersensitivity) – how isolating it is – how marginalized people are – and how withdrawn they must become to protect what is left of their health. We need to listen with ears wide open. This is real and real people are living greatly diminished lives. Imagine yourself forced to give up a productive life to live on the edge, and that edge keeps moving. Imagine being denied access to business opportunities, education, transportation, healthcare, public participation, recreation and places of celebration and renewal. Again and again we are hearing the same things. I lived a normal life until… smart meters were installed on my wall… until a major cell phone tower was built next door…. until my office installed several wireless routers. My family didn’t understand. It took me some time to realize what was making me sick. It destabilized my relationships. I lost my freedom. People with EHS have to give up so many things most people take for granted in life. Shopping, going out to dinner, attending meetings in public places, going to a child’s graduation or recital, travel along an interstate or by rail or air. Everyday activities that make up the fabric of life are no longer accessible – at least without paying the price. It is an insidious and invisible progression where the activities of daily life are incrementally diminished by exposures that intensify with time, subject to no health and safety accounting at all!!! No one is keeping track of cumulative RF body burdens. There is no governmental agency that is tracking EHS illness reports, nor conducting a serious effort to revise health standards!!! EHS is real and people are being harmed by wireless technology. Please set lower MPEs for this real toxin.","attachments":[],"attachment_names":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filing/26110083117","filing_type":"COMMENT","proceedings":"ET 13-84","capture_reviewed":false,"captured_at":"2026-10-22T17:47:34.784Z","supplied_classification":null,"tags":["health-experiences","children-schools","disability-access","towers-antennas","wifi-devices","standards-testing"],"source_hash":"c061e12ca44cded256c4dd0a9169c745128557aafae632b7ffd06714cdb0f66c","slug":"health-experiences-filing-26110083117","classification":{"id":"26110083117","body_sha256":"fcc044226e9ac288a179f1c51bf793122dfc4cfc0b18d7f2ce42a9bf37bfb762","status":"text_matched","primary_topic":"health-experiences","topics":[{"id":"health-experiences","evidence":"We don’t often get a window into the life of a person with EHS (electro-magnetic hypersensitivity) – how isolating it is – how marginalized people are – and how withdrawn they must become to protect what is left of their health."},{"id":"children-schools","evidence":"Shopping, going out to dinner, attending meetings in public places, going to a child’s graduation or recital, travel along an interstate or by rail or air."},{"id":"disability-access","evidence":"We don’t often get a window into the life of a person with EHS (electro-magnetic hypersensitivity) – how isolating it is – how marginalized people are – and how withdrawn they must become to protect what is left of their health."},{"id":"towers-antennas","evidence":"I lived a normal life until… smart meters were installed on my wall… until a major cell phone tower was built next door…."},{"id":"wifi-devices","evidence":"I lived a normal life until… smart meters were installed on my wall… until a major cell phone tower was built next door…."},{"id":"standards-testing","evidence":"No one is keeping track of cumulative RF body burdens."}],"summary":"","method":"Local topic rules v1; exact supporting passages; not an AI or medical review","scope":"Captured filing text only.
