I had to move my bedroom as the smart meter was on the master bedroom side of the house.  I was experiencing headaches, brain fog, rashes, severe fatigue and insomnia. Moving my bedroom helped somewhat initially, but then I began experiencing headaches whenever I put my phone to my head.  My head would throb for hours.  Exhaustion still remained an ongoing issue as well and I had to research ways to relieve the insomnia. Even after mitigating the insomnia, I still continued to suffer from exhaustion and headaches.  Then I started experiencing issues when I was near large cell towers for an extended  period of time and then it seemed like it was happening more and more often. When the headaches and brain fog would strike, I would look around the area as we left the wedding or event ect. and I would always be able to locate a large tower. This was years before anyone acknowledged  this was an issue, so I had to do the research on my own and do everything in my power to mitigate  my exposure and figure out how to get relief from the symptoms. I also invested in numerous products to help mitigate the exposure. Some seemed help somewhat, some were a waste of money.  The more investigation I did, the more science I found showing that EMF/RF sensitivity is a real and valid issue and that many suffer from it, many times not even knowing that is what is the cause. It is frustrating  to me that I am being exposed more and more each passing year, without my consent and without any regulations.
