Gas company moved a meter on the back side of my house to the front side less than 1 /12 feet from the head of my bed.  They installed a smart meter (I had NO SAY in this).  I started waking up for no reason and had difficulty getting back to sleep; unexplained nose bleeds; and a digestive condition started causing me problems at night when it normally calms down!  I consulted with an EMF expert, and she immediately found the issue.  I have spent $100s (including expert's fee) on blocking material, etc.  I contacted engineer at Cascade Natural Gas, and he gave me the typical smart meter \"no problem\" song and dance.  Luckily, I don't run Wi-Fi in my house since I had all connections hard wired.  Wi-Fi in hotels and other lodging has cause same issues (primarily sleep).  When I am staying in motels, etc.  I turn off or unplug (if possible) wi-fi routers etc.  I have purchased various personal shielding (again several $100s) that I use when sleeping in motel, etc.  I have friends that are more sensitive than I am!!\nI implore the HHS to take action on these issues!  Affects are REAL!","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4747","tags":["health-experiences","sleep-cognition","exposure-places"],"source_hash":"60724c20b571411f35d4a541c91e1fc1e4ba274142c8103d633edb5ec3d60411","slug":"health-experiences-comment-4747","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4747","body_sha256":"83a373c5523352b3d247070ff0d395b6a0accf9e76cef2ab979491451e1ddb7e","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"smart-meters","topics":[{"id":"smart-meters","evidence":"ss than 1 /12 feet from the head of my bed.
