I have had and continue to have health effects from EMF exposure. I have been diagnosed as electrically hypersensitive and receive a reasonable accommodation to perform my work in a way that limits my exposure and symptoms. The symptoms started in 2015 and it took seven years of worsening symptoms before I discovered the cause. I was experiencing severe sleep disturbance and fatigue, often sleeping only 3 hours at a time and sometimes only 3 hours all night. Additionally there was digestive disturbance, ear ringing, light sensitivity, increased heart rate, confusion and difficulty concentrating. The replacement of my electric meter, which was a smart meter, with a regular meter resulted in a dramatic but short-lived improvement, followed by a decline. This was my first clear indication that the EMF was related to my symptoms. Since then, many additional measures were necessary to achieve the improved health I now have. Some of the types of exposure that affect me adversely are smart meters, Bluetooth, Wifi, and electromagnetic interference on house wiring. There is a multitude of research showing harm from various types of EMF, and many books citing this research which are easy to find. Consumers should have the right to a regular electric meter upon request at no additional cost. Consumers should receive a warning on the effects of powerful RF emitting devices such as Wifi routers, cell phones, computers, Ring cameras, and all other smart devices. They should be educated on methods to limit their exposure. If they aren't informed, there will be increasing numbers of people that are sensitized due to high exposure.
