I am one of those people who HAD TO have my smart meter switched back and we all know that it was only switched back to a digital meter.\nI have an interesting share!  I had ordered my smart meter removed/exchanged for an analog (digital is what ya get) and they gave me a date they would be installing it. About a week before that time, they called and let me know they had to move my date 6+ months later.  I took a picture of the meter because I wanted to be sure I received a new one.  Anyway, not in 6 months, more like 2, I started sleeping better.  I even told my husband that I was sleeping so much better that it was like the smart meter had been taken away.  Then I thought to go outside and look and sure enough they had changed it out.  We must not have been home and the picture I took proved it. IT HAD been switched.  Of course the fee also followed right after that for the exchange. Charged for something I never wanted switched in the first place.  WiFi has to be off in my house when I sleep or am sick.  I am what I think is called a sensitive and I literally can feel the vibration running through me.  It is worst at night when I settle down to try and sleep. No C19 shot, I think I may have had covid briefly- just saying.  The feeling is unsettling.  When I go camping, I sleep like a baby.  I am over 50.  If this gets any worse, I will have to move further away from things. I believe my husband is affected and does not realize it.  One other time, I was in the hospital with my father.  He was in one of the rooms they put you in when you enter through emergency. So the room had a door to enter and a door to the side hall.  I had planned to stay all night with him but my body was charged worse than ever.  I felt like I was going to come unhinged.  Literally made me sick.  Finally, one of the times that I got up and was snooping around, I opened the side door to find that it was the side hall and they used it to put a bunch of machines to charge. Ones they roll around room to room to do tests.  I was unable to stay with my father that night.  Not sure how people are working in that atmosphere.\nPlease Please,Please, find a way for the old technology to return.  TV can be a challenge too.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.  Maybe the Amish were right about some things we don't need.  I have no doubt the EMF will bring us to an early sickness and death if they do not stop.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6485","tags":["health-experiences","sleep-cognition","exposure-places"],"source_hash":"969ea6823e5012d9fe5e27c631e7b8773533ca9395ff0f6357c72a9dc99382e8","slug":"health-experiences-comment-6485","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6485","body_sha256":"227f0ba1258a771f4fe0266d589229f07cff574e91cb1b787acceae9d623d914","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"smart-meters","topics":[{"id":"smart-meters","evidence":"my smart meter switched back"},{"id":"ehs","evidence":"I am what I think is called a sensitive"},{"id":"neurological","evidence":"I started sleeping better"},{"id":"access","evidence":"I was unable to stay with my father that night"},{"id":"wifi","evidence":"WiFi has to be off in my house"}],"summary":"The commenter reports better sleep after an unannounced meter replacement and describes sensitivity to Wi-Fi and hospital equipment that prevented an overnight stay with a parent.
