{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-3885","number":"3885","name":"Belastasia Ambrosio","organization":"","posted":"2026-10-21T04:00Z","received":"2026-10-14T04:00Z","body":"Very sensitive to WiFi/cell. Started by getting welts and torso skin burning when I used my phone after getting Nest doorbell and thermostat. I was unable to sleep for years, body visibly twitches. I didn't get any sleep signal so I was awake mobilized with heart racing all night. My melatonin release was suppressed and my nervous system was being stimulated. Always slept ok away from the city. Bought emf meter and it's around 1-3V in the home even with modem off. Bought a silver thread shielding canopy to sleep in, instant good sleep from night one! \nIn 2023 though I injured my hip area, what should have healed in 4 weeks is still an issue 3 years later. In my home, at work and/or when an event comes to town (a fair or boat show etc), or in certain stores/places my muscles seize up randomly and violently, much worse at the site of injury. Any injury site has inflammation which I was told is a lighting rod for emf, and mast cells degranulate faster etc. I can go from unable to walk at all in a store, body all stiff and locked up, drive half hour away and walk in the canyons for hours or swim in a lake without issue. Then come back home and be unable to walk again. I started wearing a shielding hoodie all day long, with hood up, and it attenuates the response considerably and almost instantly. But it's embarrassing to have to wear. Recently many new cells (small and medium plus 2 large towers) have gone up a few blocks from my home. When events are on I can tell because my skin starts crawling, itching, burning, the hoodie isn't enough to block all the extra. I need to leave home during those times, go into the canyons, and then I'm fine. It's bizarre, and also crippling and expensive, and unsustainable.
