ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello,
I would like to very quickly and briefly mention my experience of being electrosensitive. I might not get another chance to do so. Below is a short summary history of my ES / EHS and please see attached a copy of a slightly extended version. Please ignore the sentence on medical reports, thank you.
My experience over the years has a lot of similarities to other people when it comes to ES: stigma, isolation, ridicule, scepticism, disbelief… and so on. The most frustrating is a wide belief that it is my mental health and only an imaginary problem.
I lost my home of 24½ years at Cove, Aberdeen, Scotland, UK due to the lack of help and understanding of my electro-sensitivity.
In 2008 new neighbours brought wireless technology to the building (a block of 4 properties, 2 upper and 2 ground floor maisonettes). This was the first time that such technology was brought to the building and their impact on me was immediate and devastating.
The worst main debilitating effect on me is very severe burning pain to my head and scalp that penetrates deep into it (blanket cover). Other burning pain is clusters of very hot burning needles shooting through me at phenomenal lightening speeds with – again – my scalp being the most sensitive area.
The very first symptom to appear in June 2008 was a high-pitched whine / whistling emanating from across the central area of my brain. It is very loud, still there, can and does become elevated and it is not tinnitus. I also have other effects on me that I still suffer from.
Over the years I have always noticed that whenever there are descriptions of symptoms of electro-sensitivity, only headaches are listed. Not once have I seen listed and described what I’ve mentioned above. Due to the unbearable suffering that I have had to endure (2008 – 2017), I did suffer from headaches from time-to-time because of insomnia with the lack of sleep, brought on by the continuous radiation exposure.
To cut a long story short, it all became very messy with conflicts with the neighbours, all areas of my life in free fall and spiralling downwards, me being institutionalised for 7 consecutive weeks without my consent and it was against my will, having to fight off being forced to take toxic medications (anti-psychotic drugs for at least six months), 3 sinister court cases, constant potential homelessness… to name and list just a fraction of it all.
My professional career was also completely ruined early on. I enjoyed the work that I did and devastated that it was cruelly taken away from me - and the lost income.
Had my finances permitted, I would have attempted to sue the government. The two local politicians that I went to see at different times regarding my plight and suffering, just simply did not want to know about it.
Over the years, I have compiled a more detailed summary of my ES and suffering and I’m also putting together a more detailed break down of each area and stages of what happened (separate from the summary). This includes spending £10,000.00 on shielding the property from the neighbours wireless devices' (wi-fi, DECT phones etc) radiation between October 2009 and February 2010.
I also have available a number of official medical reports from the hospital professionals (including psychiatrists) that oversaw my case while I was institutionalised.
Ever since this happened to me in 2008 it has been like living in a nightmare dream world, except that I am fully awake – and my nightmare journey continues relentlessly with no end in sight.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Raymond Adams
Update: I have now been homeless for over a year (1st Oct 2025) as I cannot get suitable accommodation / property. With the lack of help and understanding, it was inevitable that this would happen to me, and it has.
