Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)mobile phone\n3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):using cell phone for a long call- 30 minutes to an hour during the last several years. This was using speaker phone w/ phoneat least a foot from my head.\n3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:feelings of disorientation and extra unwanted energy ( agitation )\n3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:Not sure- maybe several hours later\n3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?No\n3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?I tried not to use the cell phone again for a longer call.\n3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:There are many studies available re this\nAdditional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's:   \nB1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects:cell phones when in a room w/ many people w/ their phones on for an hour or more - being too close to a small cell facility for several minutes or more.\nB1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you:same as the above but if I am near the source for a shorter time 15 minutes or so tops. In a room for ah hour or more w/ Wi Fi on\nB1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed:I am not sure about any\nB1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy):I don't recall using any\nB2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless:I am not sure. I do have a raised cancer antigen test score\nB2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant:I have a partial tear in my right shoulder rotator cuff & I have weakness and pain in my left hip- both I never thought of as conected to thee cell phones and wifi and small cell antenna\nB3. For each subquestion please list up to 5 drugs or therapies or home remedies (if any)\nB3a. That you recommend, as they helped you tolerate or recover from EMF exposure:I go qigong, I take a variety of supplements and herbs, including homeopathic drops to help if I take a medical test that inolves radiation. They also help w/ EMFs but I usually forget to take them for that\nB3b. That you recommend, but you’re not positive that they help:not sure\nB3c. That helped you but you don’t recommend. (e.g., the benefit did not last long or the side effects were too harmful):none\nB3d. Treatments that had no effect:none\nB3e. Treatments that made your sensitivity worse:75+\nB4. What is your age range?75+\nB5. What year did you become aware of your sensitivity to wireless radiation or electromagnetic fields?not sure- maybe 2000\nB6. What country, state, province, or major city were you living in when you first noticed your sensitivity to wireless or electromagnetic fields?California - Berkeley","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6795","tags":["cancer-tumors","health-experiences","exposure-places","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"e0c2c032ee37112f0c1929119c8399d1fdf9b6d98486d7ec4ea16aab4a29ad28","slug":"cancer-tumors-comment-6795","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6795","body_sha256":"7769b23a800139e7339c6d7327454e40e96deffb130c50a5d55aded256c10783","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"neurological","topics":[{"id":"neurological","evidence":"feelings of disorientation and extra unwanted energy ( agitation )"},{"id":"wifi","evidence":"In a room for ah hour or more w/ Wi Fi on"}],"summary":"Reports disorientation and agitation after longer phone calls and in wireless environments, describes avoidance and personal coping approaches, and acknowledges uncertainty about timing and contributing conditions.","reviewed_at":"2026-10-28T23:54:32Z","review_method":"Full comment-text review with exact source evidence; attachments not reviewed","review_source_sha256":"136f2a966b22cb7a46a3eec75be8bd1cac6fbe5b7dd5480d0fb29b6dc37b35a3","source_url":"https://rfsafe.net/hhs-comments/data/catalog.json","scope":"Original comment body; attachments excluded"},"forum_topics":["neurological","wifi"],"primary_topic":"neurological","forum_title":"Reports disorientation and agitation after longer phone calls and in wireless environments, describes avo…"}
