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.

When I was in college in 2020 I was able to live independently in an apartment. Over the course of 6 months I began to decline. Eventually I was in unbearable pain every day, muscle aches and weakness, migraines, brain fog. I couldn’t function, take care of myself, study for school. Living in a city with multiple new 5G towers near my home and school and in an apartment building with several smart meters nearby as well as several different Wi-Fi connections coming from every apartment destroyed me. I was forced to abandon the life I was building and move outside a small town with my parents.

Now because 5G towers have become even more common and other new technologies have become more prevalent, making my family and I very sick, we have to flee our home again. We’re forced to live somewhere remote, away from cities, amenities, and community.

I can’t be around Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cell tower, radio towers, antennas without suffering ill effects for days. The migraines come back, extreme muscle pain and tightness, muscle weakness to the point where I’m struggling to walk, brain fog, fatigue, nerve pain, struggle breathing, heart palpitations, nausea and diarrhea. I have none of these symptoms in an emf-free environment.

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.
