The commenter describes electromagnetic hypersensitivity, other diagnoses and symptoms in an urban home, …

I developed electromagnetic hypersensitivity after moving from my home in a rural setting to a small city of around 40,000 people. My symptoms began after living in my home for 3-4 years. I worked as an RN at a large medical center. I was active with no medical conditions and on medications. I have always been involved and active in environmental health issues. I knew enough about "smart Meters" to have the meter on my new home removed as soon as I moved into the city. After living in my home for 2-3 years I began to have symptoms of extreme fatigue walking up 1 flight of stairs. I would wake every morning with deep burning in my eyes and a headache. I noticed that the burning would ease when I ate breakfast in the kitchen area. I then developed other vague symptoms - one night I got up with feelings of pain in my intestinal tract and I passed out in the bathroom and fell to the floor. I went to an Integrative Medicine physician for an evaluation. I had developed lupus and hypothyroidism. I had a strong sense that these conditionals had an environmental link. I had my house tested for EMR and "dirty electricity. The levels of EMR and dirty electricity in my home were extremely high. I lived in an area near many cell towers and my neighbors smart meter was abouy 12 feet from my bedroom. I am one of the lucky ones, as I was able to move back out to the country. I have gained my health back completely. I am active once again and take no pharmaceuticals and live a happy life in a low EMR environment. I am sad for the many others that are suffering from EMR illnesses. It was a very difficult time for me and my family. Barbara Cruickshank Earlysville Va.
