I am an individual who has been struggling to stay functional due to EMF exposure.  I have experienced insomnia, brain fog, and headaches since I was a teenager (about 20 years ago) all the way through my mid-20s and could not figure out why.  During my 20s, I don't remember how I came across the topic of EMF hypersensitivity, but after some research and seeing how my symptoms matched, I decided to purchase a Faraday bag for my cell to see if that would help. For the first time my symptoms improved and I could sleep better. 

I still struggle to function optimally at work since I have to be around people who have their cell on.  Whenever I need to speak with someone at work, I would feel a bit disoriented and struggle to communicate clearly.  I would stutter and scramble up my words.  

If I spend more than about 30 minutes on my cell surfing the web or texting, I will experience a headache or brain fog and sluggishness.  When I place my cell in a Faraday bag afterwards, the symptoms go away.

For awhile, keeping my cell in a Faraday bag has helped me sleep better, but during this past year something has changed because my insomnia returned.  I also experience a slight burning sensation on my skin as I'm trying to fall asleep.

I really appreciate HHS looking further into this issue as it can be debilitating to some who are hypersensitive to EMFs.  Thank you for opening this public comment opportunity.
