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. \n\nAfter 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.\n\nWhen a smart meter was installed on my house, I called & complained to Alliant Energy in Wisconsin.\n\n 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. \nI 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. \nThank you for considering my situation. \nSondra Olson\n","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6334","tags":["health-experiences","sleep-cognition","exposure-places"],"source_hash":"87adf381e3312231f1cdb1343c67b20abc2e55b250207bbfada95551a58ee5af","slug":"health-experiences-comment-6334","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6334","body_sha256":"5c44bce7775a71992bbe1ab064c1b6615d9bee964e9fb00dcca4be28abef5d04","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"neurological","topics":[{"id":"neurological","evidence":"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"},{"id":"smart-meters","evidence":"xt to my head when our plane landed.\n\nWhen a smart meter was installed on my house, I called & complained to Alliant Ener"},{"id":"electricity","evidence":"nergy in Wisconsin.\n\n I can't approach heavy electrical stations or voltage without intense uncomfortable sensations so that I fe"},{"id":"access","evidence":"e said I will write you a medical excuse for dropping this class. \n\nAfter becoming aware of this disability, I observed a series "}],"summary":"The commenter reports memory problems and headaches around electronic equipment, concerns about a smart meter and electrical stations, and difficulty continuing a computer class.","reviewed_at":"2026-10-28T23:54:32Z","review_method":"Full comment-text review with exact source evidence; attachments not reviewed","review_source_sha256":"e305f4c93620138849383de909aaf259e2b9acc4024e0b2697c57740492a8dbb","source_url":"https://rfsafe.net/hhs-comments/data/catalog.json","scope":"Original comment body; attachments excluded"},"forum_topics":["neurological","smart-meters","electricity","access"],"primary_topic":"neurological","forum_title":"The commenter reports memory problems and headaches around electronic equipment, concerns about a smart m…"}
