ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a 71-year-old woman who has been affected by computers, cell phones & fluorescent lights for most of my life. In the 90's, when I first learned to operate a desktop computer in a class that caused my memory to go blank, the instructor informed me of my condition when she said, “I've heard about people affected like you of electro-magnectic frequency. “ Then she said I will write you a medical excuse for dropping this class.
After becoming aware of this disability, I observed a series of difficulties in my everyday life, too numerous to mention. I would forget under fluorescent lights. I got a debilitating headache for days after the person who sat next to me on a plane turned on their cell phone & talked next to my head when our plane landed.
When a smart meter was installed on my house, I called & complained to Alliant Energy in Wisconsin.
I can't approach heavy electrical stations or voltage without intense uncomfortable sensations so that I feel like quickly leaving. The effects are very hard to describe how it makes me feel because often it is very subtle & just under my awareness until I leave the location.
I am always searching for remedies to help me adapt, but I really don't want to live in an environment that could make me sicker.
Thank you for considering my situation.
