I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure.

I am responding from the perspective of a patient.

EMFs, RF and Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) have dramatically affected me.  Please note my list of symptoms below triggered by EMFs, RF and EMR that began after 2010, intensified until I was forced to stop working due to these symptoms in May 2014 and continue to this day.   I was a partner in the largest CPA (certified public accounting) firm in our county, and was at the peak of my career.  My dream home had to be sold to pay ongoing medical bills and eliminate our mortgage.  My husband and I had to move to a mobile home to exist and have poured considerable money into the home to shield from EMFs, RF and EMR.  I am completely overwhelmed with the medical symptoms triggered by and it is a day-to-day struggle to survive.

Specific triggers of EMFs, RF and EMR for me include, but are not limited to exposure to:
 Cell phones, 
	Cell towers,
	Smart meters,
	Computers, 
wireless phones, 
laptops,
	EV,
	Most vehicles built after mid 2000s,
Cellular satellites,
LED bulbs,
LED light displays,
smart watches, 
wireless hearing aids, and,
hearing loops.

My symptoms when exposed to EMFs, RF and EMR include:
	Vise-like painful grip circling head,
	Knife-like sharp pains in head,
	Migraine lasting min 6hr to max of 4 days,
	Vertigo,
	Disorientation,
	Heart arrythmia,
	Shortness of breath,
	Chest pressure,
	Slurred speech,
	Blurry eyesight,
	Visionary mirrors related to migraines,
	Hands shaking, and,
	Extreme exhaustion.

My ongoing limitations include:
Almost completely housebound leaving home only for emergencies or medical 
appointments.  It takes days to recover from migraines and other symptoms 
noted above after leaving our shielded home;
	Prevented from traveling via airplanes, ships, modern vehicles, train;
	Prevented from staying in hotels, friends’ or relatives’ homes;
	Prevented from attending outdoor holiday lights displays, LED light shows, parades;
	Limited access to worship, theatre, live performances, sports events – anywhere that 
has sound systems under new FCC frequency guidelines that emit radiation;
	Cannot shop or run errands without severe side effects (e.g. grocery stores, malls, 
farmers’ markets);
	No access to banking, texting, emergency notifications from banks, utility companies, 
housing management via cell phones.  In a power outage, no access to emails to 
compensate for this limitation;
	Cannot take walks outside of home, go to the beach or parks;

Considerable expenses incurred due to my hypersensitivity to EMFs, RF and EMR:
	Shield home including upgrades as technology from 3G to 4G to 5G changes;
	Expense to re-wire existing appliances;
	Considerable expense & labor to search for wireless-free equipment, disable wifi 
features on electronic equipment if possible;
	Expense for watching tv without wireless, smart devices/screens/remotes/streaming 
devices (e.g. Roku);
	Expense and great inconvenience to move to a community without smart meters on or 
near home;
	Considerable out of pocket expense for medical devices and therapists not covered by 
insurance to reduce or attempt to control the pain.

HHS should address the sources of EMFs, RF and EMR.  Specifically, I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation.  Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence.

I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health.

Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.
