I developed headaches 24/7 and muscle spasms. I could not sleep, I could not work, I could not function. I had to go to a wooded area and sleep in my car to get any rest. I became dehydrated and spent nine days in the hospital. I had to move to a rural area to get as far away from radiation as possible leaving my family and friends and had to close my business. \n\nSome friends had inherited an old farm house 2 miles from a cell tower and did NOT have a SMART METER which they let me move into wtith rent far below market. I have since recovered my health but I have NOT been able to re-establish my business and am struggling to live on social security. \n\nThen the local electric company installed smart meters on my neighbors and threatened to disconnect my electric service if I did not allow them to install one on this home. I then agreed to pay them $100 to install an analog meter and $40 each month for them to read it. This is an EXORTION FEE. I am capable of reading the meter and providing the info to them just like residents of other states including Indiana.\n\nThese utility companies have a monopoly and they are using it to profit at our expense.\n\nThank you for considering my physical and financial comments.\n\n","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1760","tags":["health-experiences","sleep-cognition","exposure-places"],"source_hash":"9cb8bbe131f6cfd76fc9c4e5fc7d196d59d55fbc7015df2955e89f799ee2388e","slug":"health-experiences-comment-1760","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1760","body_sha256":"8131a4373b2c76cb455e73f35c65e283c5a3bcf75465bbdeca9a088461798c6c","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"smart-meters","topics":[{"id":"smart-meters","evidence":"f a patient.\n\nthe electric company installed smart meters on the home I was renting and all the surrounding neig"},{"id":"neurological","evidence":"d all the surrounding neighbors.
