For approximately the past ten years, beginning around 2015, I have experienced significant neurological and physical health challenges, including chronic headaches, debilitating migraines, persistent dizziness, vertigo, cognitive dysfunction, and overwhelming fatigue. These symptoms have profoundly affected my quality of life and ability to function independently. I am particularly concerned about the possibility that electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure may contribute to or exacerbate my neurological symptoms. My concerns have been heightened by genetic testing that identified four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within my CACNA1C gene. This gene encodes a component of the CaV1.2 voltage-gated calcium channel, which plays an important role in neuronal signaling, cellular calcium regulation, and nervous system function. The interpretation of my genetic testing suggested that these findings could indicate increased susceptibility to the biological effects of electromagnetic exposure. Although the relationship between CACNA1C variants and sensitivity to everyday electromagnetic fields has not been clinically established, I believe this is an important area deserving further scientific investigation. My experience raises questions about whether genetic variations affecting calcium-channel function could influence individual responses to environmental exposures, particularly among people already experiencing neurological dysfunction. Over the past decade, my headaches, dizziness, and other neurological symptoms have substantially interfered with my daily activities, physical endurance, cognitive functioning, and overall well-being. I am asking the Department of Health and Human Services to investigate whether genetic differences, including variations in genes involved in calcium-channel regulation, may contribute to individual susceptibility to electromagnetic exposures. I believe that research examining potential interactions between environmental electromagnetic fields, genetic predispositions, and neurological health could provide valuable information for patients like me who have spent years searching for answers. I respectfully request that federal health agencies recognize the importance of investigating these questions through independent research, including studies that evaluate genetic variation, long-term exposure patterns, and neurological outcomes.
