- Wi-Fi & indoor exposure: “quency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):Domestic WiFi and the mobile phone radiation. Every day for the last 10 years,”

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
1. & 2. I am responding as: an individual
3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)Mobile phone
3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):Domestic WiFi and the mobile phone radiation. Every day for the last 10 years, several times a day.
3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:Multiple Systems Atrophy. Including - Difficulty walking and talking. Difficulty swallowing and frequent choking. Nightmares. Mood instability.
3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:Immediately on first use.
3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?Yes but it came after the symptoms had advanced. Diagnosis of multiple systems atrophy (MSA-C).
3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?We tried to limit the exposure but it was difficult to do because I depend on the phone for communication.
3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:
Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's:I am severely limited in what I can do, and I am dependent on my wife for most of the functions of daily life. This places a heavy load on her and her health is suffering a great deal.

B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy):
B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless:Multiple Systems Atrophy
B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant:
B3. For each subquestion please list up to 5 drugs or therapies or home remedies (if any)
