I used to live in a garden apartment in a Colorado town for 9 years in good health until a cell phone tower was put up only 3 blocks away. Soon I experienced poor quality sleep, ocular migraines, occasional heart palatations with chest pains, & my tinnitus became unbearable all through the day. I moved across the state to a smaller town \nand another lovely garden apartment where I felt total relief from the previously mentioned symptoms and sidnificant reduction in my tinnitus \"noise\" for about 2 years. Then a cell tower was constructed 1 block away. Very soon (in a few weeks) my previous symptoms started up again w/ my tinnitus becoming quite unbearable and in addition to the previously mentioned health problems, my skin became extremely itchy, I started having nose bleeds and my lethargy was a daily burden. I moved again, this time to a more remote location, but with an almost hopeless feeling that I would be continuously pursued by this poisonous EMF and RF radiation anywhere I might go. Currently the nearest cell tower is 2 miles away. So far I still have ongoing tinnitus, but it is somewhat quieter. I still get very occasional ocular migraines and itching skin. It is clear to me that the distance I live from a cell tower adversely affects my health to some degree no matter what. This clearly means that these towers must Never be placed too near communities or schools because the RF radiation causes illnesses. Human bodies are NOT meant to withstand these harmful frequencies which cause internal health problems. Serious consideration Must be given to these problems and appropriate regulations have to be put in place. Please take these comments into very serious consideration. I am now a 77 year old woman who went from excellent health 7 years ago to a compromised health situation due to cell towers and their RF radiation being putup around me!
