ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The following information is my personal experiences from EMF's and other wireless technologies.
On January 19,2018 I returned home after an appointment. My husband told me that a smart meter had been installed on our home.
That night I couldn't sleep anywhere in the house. My reaction also included significant tingling, feeling anxious, weakness all over, balance was off, eyes very sensitive to light and thinking skills were off also. I felt miserable and didn't know what to do to get relief.
Duke energy did replace the meter with an electrical mechanical meter, but I felt no improvement. With the previous analog meter I could function well.
I had to search and educate myself about the EMF problem. Through many months I purchased products that proved to be useless. Finally, in February
2019 I learned about a product that was a filter to be attached to the circuit breaker box. I immediately ordered it and had electricians install it. While
they were connecting the wires downstairs, I remained upstairs. I knew INSTANTLY when it was connected. My tingling abruptly completely stopped!
After 13 months I had relief!
Living with EMF sensitives has negatively impacted my health and life activities. I always need to be aware of EMF exposure sources and avoid them. Some of the hardest places have been hospitals, long term care facilities and medical offices. I have even had to change doctors due to my body's reaction in those settings.
With more technologies being used in my neighborhood, I needed to have a building biologist help assess my home. Using two different meters the assessment showed that I needed further remediation. Seeing actual numbers gave me a clear understanding of the exposure strength.
For the future I strongly support the 704NoMore initiatives. New lower exposure standards need to be implemented based on science. I firmly believe that more education and research needs to be accomplished.
