ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
1. & 2. I am responding as: an individual 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…) Mobile phones 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):When people use their mobile phones to access cellular data, the initial signal is very strong while the phone is connecting to a tower. It is about 20 seconds long and gives me symptoms. This has been happening to me for six years. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:Wakes me up from sleep, heart palpitations, and headaches. 3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects: 4 years. A change of exposure (to additional EMF) greatly increased the symptoms. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis? Medical treatment was sought, but unsuccessfully. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects? Yes. This involved removing all wireless devices from the home and moving to a different house away from neighbors. Additionally, because of the proximity of neighbors' wireless devices, it necessitated sleeping in the basement. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information: Apple iphones, when "wifi assist" is turned on, default to the cell tower for internet access. When I first started waking up 5x a night with heart palpitations, my baby in the other room would wake up 10 seconds later, screaming. This happened on the hour and the half hour. It turned out that this was directly correlated with our neighbor using her cell phone between TV programs. (She stayed up later than we did.) When she turned off "wifi assist" so her cell phone accessed the internet through her own wifi router, the night waking ended immediately. Unfortunately, this was just the beginning of realizing I had become EMF sensitive and eventually I had to move. Additional 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:I was mildly sensitive to EMF, but it was not enough to notice, until I moved to a different house. This house, we later learned, was bordering on the right-of-way of a high voltage power line (69kV). Additionally, a smart meter was installed after we moved in. After a pregnancy, I had a situation that required a chest CT scan, which, of all medical imaging, has the highest amount of radiation. I think this overexposure created the perfect storm to make me very EMF sensitive.
