(Myalgic Encephalomyelitis), in England, UK.  \nElectromagnetic sensitivity including wifi is not uncommon as a co-morbidity with ME/CFS. Multiple Chemical Sensitivity appears to be more common as a co-morbidity with ME/CFS sufferers.\n\nI know personally of two M.E. sufferers who cannot use mobile phones and react badly to other electrical products, e.g. televisions.\n\nI myself cannot use a mobile phone unless I use shielding for my head, otherwise the pain I experience is like being hit on the head with a hammer.\n\nI know of a lady who does not have M.E., but she is extremely electrically sensitive, especially to mobile phone masts. At times she is so ill that she has to live in a shielded hut in a garden.\n\nsubmitted by Mrs. Catherine Ashenfelter, The Grace Charity for M.E., Kent, England, UK \n\n\n\n","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-3444","tags":["health-experiences","exposure-places"],"source_hash":"7bbfb70ac5d93958b06dea7c00135a1a8610236a1865b03709279a89714bc975","slug":"health-experiences-comment-3444","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-3444","body_sha256":"c491898c8afaf78b632d92ee8bdd1ec28df3088088d00f022ca7db75095f778e","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"ehs","topics":[{"id":"ehs","evidence":"yalgic Encephalomyelitis), in England, UK.  \nElectromagnetic sensitivity including wifi is not uncommon as a co-morbidity with ME/CFS.
