For the last 21 of those years I was exposed to 60 hours a week of computers and cellphones. As a result of living near 3 cellphone towers and one large utility pole I developed extreme sensitivity to EMFs.\nAs a result, I’ve had to move multiple times, until I found a place that was relatively low EMF.\n\nI am 83 now and use the computer very little. I do not travel with my phone, I put my devices in the unfunctioning microwave, and turn off the router 4 hours before I go to sleep, and my symptoms of dizziness, disorientation, nausea, depression, and mental confusion have disappeared.  \n\nI hope in other letters people will be writing to you about their experiences with cell phone towers placed near hospital buildings, and churches and schools, and they will provide you with their own experiences and detailed studies that will verify their own experiences. I am not including any studies as I am very sight challenged and it’s all I can do just to write this letter. \n\nSufficient to say, that I’ve been forced to move to a very remote location where exposure is minimal, as a result of my inability to handle a high emf environment. I can no longer travel because of my inability to handle exposure. \n\nKind regards,\nSunshine Appleby\nRetired registered nurse\n","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-5936","tags":["health-experiences","sleep-cognition","exposure-places","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"c2952305022fb3876473612c4809d83fe6303549c1dfd0bea710cfbf8e05d2bb","slug":"health-experiences-comment-5936","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-5936","body_sha256":"913a80758ab90d52e9467604fafb52d536874e61878099c1a9ead4487c6ae1ff","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"ehs","topics":[{"id":"ehs","evidence":"owers and one large utility pole I developed extreme sensitivity to EMFs.\nAs a result, I’ve had to move multiple times, until I found a p"},{"id":"occupational","evidence":" years.
