My husband told me that a smart meter had been installed on our home.\nThat 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.\n \nDuke energy did replace the meter with an electrical mechanical meter, but I felt no improvement.  With the previous analog meter I could function well.\nI had to search and educate myself about the EMF problem. Through many months I purchased products that proved to be useless. Finally, in February\n2019 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 \nthey were connecting the wires downstairs, I remained upstairs.  I knew INSTANTLY when it was connected.  My tingling abruptly completely stopped!\nAfter 13 months I had relief!\n\nLiving 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.\n\nWith 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.\n\nFor 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.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-5837","tags":["health-experiences","sleep-cognition","exposure-places","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"66c172e430be5bd60a112e33cbb0c2a0268269fa1395e5c9bfc0233c7d166d6f","slug":"health-experiences-comment-5837","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-5837","body_sha256":"d6ea79dfa4354bbddd13176a2120b202215f9c6f76bb15d8329ebc79598433f3","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"ehs","topics":[{"id":"ehs","evidence":"!\nAfter 13 months I had relief!\n\nLiving with EMF sensitives has negatively impacted my health and life activities.
