ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I always was highly sensitive for everything because I have light autism, with strong sensory differences, plus I have migraine. My sensitivity started with the 2G system, I felt anxiety and shoulder, neck muscle hardness, and I’ve started grinding my teeth. I had a mobile phone, nut I could not use it because any time I put it to my ear my ear started aching, and the area around my ear. With 3G my experience was the same, I could't use it. I have a wireless tablet, I used it many times and I get strong migraine after I used it, in my workplace there was a router on my desk next to me less than 1 meter, that short time I worked in this workplace I had headache almost every day. I didn't know it was becuase of the tablet and router. I only noticed after using tablet that my right eye was more wide open and felt stiffer than my left eye. When I touched it, I had the sensation that it was bulging out. The eye naturally has a certain depth, and when you place your hands over both eyes, I felt as though my right eyeball was protruding. When I pressed on my eyeball, as if I were trying to push it back into its proper position, I felt pain. It also felt as though there was fluid or some other substance behind my eye, or throughout that side of my forehead, pushing my eye outward. This kept happening repeatedly after using wireless tablet. I also noticed that after prolonged use, I would experience pain in my breasts, usually in my right breast. I never went to a doctor because of the pain, so I don't know whether there was a lump or anything else. I simply noticed that after each extended period of tablet use, my right breast would also hurt. Once I realised that the tablet was causing these symptoms, I stopped using not only my phone but also my tablet, and the symptoms disappeared. However, other symptoms did not go away. I became disorganised and no longer had the energy to tidy up. This was when the fatigue began, and it has continued to this day, I was anxious even though I had no reason to be anxious. I went to see a psychologist, who told me that she considered me completely normal. I was told that I was not coping with stress properly, but what I could not understand was what the stress was in the first place. Apparently, I had no reason to feel stressed or worry about anything!!!!4G phones with built-in GPS and other features arrived on the market. Naturally, I could not use either 3G or 4G close to my head because they caused immediate pain, but these smartphones already allowed users to access the internet. I tried it myself, too. Unfortunately, after about one minute of use, I had to put the phone aside and stop browsing the internet on it because of severe pain behind my eyes, pain in my temples, and other strange sensations, such as tingling in my skin and bones. If other people's phones were near me (and this is still the case today), I could easily sense what I perceived as radiation coming from their phones. I would become dizzy, develop a headache, and experience tiny pinprick-like sensations on my skin. When I sat in an area with Wi-Fi, I also felt intense pressure in my temples, even deep inside my bones. I had an internet connection installed at home, and the provider supplied a router. However, whenever I switched it on, I would develop a headache. After experiencing this repeatedly, I came to the conclusion that these wireless devices were causing my episodes of feeling unwell. So I gradually realized something I didn’t know at first: that wireless devices were causing my health problems. I had to gave back the router and internet to the provider. I started a new job where I had to work with laptops in a room where the laptops were connected to WiFi. I didn’t want to say that these things make me sick – obviously that’s not how you start at a new workplace – but after just a few minutes I became so dizzy and my vision got so blurry that I had to leave the building. After that I went to a psychologist because I was worried about how I could tell an employer that I feel unwell from the laptop and WiFi. He encouraged me to stand up for myself and explain the problem, but at the workplace the response was that they couldn’t do without these devices, so I had to leave. I’m also sensitive to GPS, though I didn’t know that at first either and used it in the car. I had to stop twice because I got dizzy, still not knowing what was causing it. Then the third time I felt much worse: I was dizzy, had a terrible migraine, vision problems, and was on the verge of fainting. I had to pull over, and there I fainted; the ambulance took me away. In the hospital I told them that I had become unwell after turning on the GPS, and the doctor said that many people are sensitive to it. Lately 5G proximity bothers me; I feel the radiation. Life fully limited – I avoid so much, big disadvantage in work and normal life.
