Electromagnetic sensitivity

I have electromagnetic hypersensitivity. It started in 2005 when I was subjected to undue stress in the workplace and to the exhaust from a laser printer. It started with a red bloch on my left hand and increased to all areas of my skin that was exposed to the air. At its peak I was subjected to excruciating pain, like an electric shock, that affected all parts of my nervous system. My only solution was to not expose myself to electromagnetic fields. I was forced to quit my job using a computer. One day after I turned on my computer I was met with a strong electric shock that went straight to my heart. Today I still suffer from the effects, but not as dramatic. At its peak I could locate electric wires and cables in walls and even underground. Passing under overhead high voltage lines in a car drew very strong electric shocks in my nervous system. I saw a research doctor in San Francisco and he determined that the surface temperature of my skin increased when exposed to an electromagnetic field. Apparently my skin is conducting electricity.

I have been sensitive to EMFs since the 5G towers and smart meters began being installed.. My symptoms are: head pressure, brain zaps, brain feeling scrambled, muscle cramps, anxiety, trouble breathing and numbness and tingling. I actually feel like I have electricity running through my body and I hear electricity in my ears. When I get in low EMF areas (which are now hard to find) my symptoms go away. I can’t drive through major cities as there is tower after tower. I also have trouble on the highways with tons of cars being hybrid and electric. The vibrations of electric cars also bother me. Perhaps EMFs should be studied more heavily in these types of cars. Also, I got rid of my iwatch due to the EMFs being uncomfortable and only use a cell phone if necessary. Please look into radiation from electronics and the safety of them. When I test using my Safe and Sound meter scores are off the charts. Allowing the production of all of these devices has made life horrific for many of us. We are all trying to flee from all of it. Unfortunately, now they are putting data centers up everywhere (and no one really knows what those are for) making it impossible to live rurally either. It is known per Dr. Klinghardt and others that EMFs increase mold toxicity. So many I know are suffering from that as well. I have developed chemical sensitivity due to mold and EMFs. And those nasty laundry detergents that people use. I would like a life where I don’t feel like I am constantly getting fried with harmful rays. So grateful that you are looking into this.

I became electrohypersensitif in 2020. I was living in Brussels in Belgium and working as an actor. I had to fled away from my city, my job, my friends, my family. I was living for more then 1 year in a camping car in the forest. My symptoms were so strong that it was hard for me to even go to the shop. Headaches, sleeping problems, neurological problems, heart problems, tinitus, articulation problems.... I could buy a house in a quiet good area finally, but since 5g was implemented, I'm again less good. I'm trying to find a solution with the help of my laywer and major. We try to find solutions on local, national and international level. We are in contact with people all over the world who all have the same problem with this environnemental pollution. It's bad for humans, animals, plants. It's a huge bussiness that doesn't take care of all these harmfull effects on life. It is urgent to do something. Our life, our fundamental rignts, nothing is respected. So many people who are also affected and who are not making the link between their health problems and wireless technologie. Cancers, neurodegenratif diseases, immunity problems etc. we want the whole world to become healthy again. Thanks for your initiatif! We are to many to suffer everyday of our life, we would like to be able to live normally again... More then 50 international appeals from medical and scientific specialists to alarm around the harmfull effects of wireless technologie and nothing happens. It becomes worse every year. Actually, there are no places anymore where we can really live without artificial emf's. My body is in tension every single day of my life because of the artificial emf's. I would like to have the possibility to live again.

I am so encouraged to see this issue being looked into by HHS. I have suffered for years with electromagnetic/electrical field/WiFi sensitivity. Please include investigation into dirty electricity also, not much is said about it. But remediating it in our home with dirty electricity filters helped me immensely, and my husband noticed it too. We are electrical beings, we all are impacted by EF/EMF/RF. These frequencies are very detrimental to our health, to childhood development, to plants, animals and insects. Thank you for looking deeply into this matter.

I am highly sensitive to EMFs and wireless radiation and have known it for years. It got progressively worse when 5G towers took over Houston during Covid lockdowns and beyond. I have been told by several natural doctors that they have seen a strong correlation between mold illness and EMFs with their patients, and I happened to have both of these conditions. My hands burn when I’m on my phone for more than 5 minutes and they turn red and get white splotches and have a burning sensation. They also look wrinkled much more than you would expect for a woman in her 30s. I also feel very fatigued if I am on my phone more than 30 minutes a day. Please investigate this and start banning EMFs and all related exposures! This is causing chronic illness across our great nation.

I appreciate that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued a request for input from the public on the health impacts of RF radiation. Here is some of my personal experience: I have been made very sick by RF radiation exposure. My doctor has diagnosed me with electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Massive, overwhelming numbers of scientific studies have shown microwave radiation creates adverse health effects. The most extreme experience I had was when I suffered severe health symptoms from RF exposure after a smart meter was placed on my residence. I have been in a legal case since 2018 about this. Here is the story: A smart meter was put on my residence by my gas company without my knowledge. I began to experience severe symptoms, which I reported to my physician, who had treated me for over 23 consecutive years. The doctor kept medical records of all my new symptoms: ― Insomnia and fatigue. ― Joint swelling in both hands, with decreased mobility, joint pain, joint stiffness, aches, stinging, and pinching. “I’d never had anything like this in my life,” I said. ― Frequent irregular heartbeats / palpitations. ― Neurologic symptom of dizziness. ― Cognitive dissonance, or “brain fog.” ― Gastro-intestinal symptoms of constipation and abnormal stools. The doctor ordered extensive testing to determine the cause of these symptoms, including: ― Echocardiogram and holter monitor test, to determine the cause of the heart palpitations. ― An appointment with a sleep specialist to consider sleep apnea, to investigate the cause of the insomnia. ― Thyroid test and anti-inflammatory or autoimmune workup, to further investigate the insomnia, as well as the hand pain. I was away teaching in Europe for five weeks, during which time I was symptom-free. When I returned home, my symptoms resumed. I asked the gas company if they would remove the meter. They said they would if my physician sent them a letter. The physician sent a Letter of Medical Necessity and the gas company removed the smart meter. Most of my symptoms subsided as soon as the smart meter was removed. The joint pain and insomnia subsided several weeks later. My doctor diagnosed me with EMF sensitivity and recommended that I avoid exposure to EMFs and RF. I took steps to eliminate almost all exposure at my residence: ― The house does not have wifi or any wireless devices. ― The computer does not have wifi; it is hard-wired, and also has an external, wired keyboard and a wired mouse. ― A no-EMF earphone is used with the computer. ― The desk chair is positioned at least 30 inches away from the laptop screen, at which distance EMFs drop to zero. ― Rather than a cellular phone, a landline is used. ― There is no television. ― There is no microwave oven. ― A low-EMF hair dryer is used. ― Lamps are unplugged when not in use. ― Before purchasing any electrical item, I test the item using a gaussmeter and radiofrequency radiation (RF) meter, to measure radiation. In addition, I suffer effects of RF exposure in airports. My physician wrote a letter excusing me from going through security scanners because body scanners use radiofrequency waves.

I am very emf sensitive and at times can only lie down and try to sleep. Otherwise I get dizzy and even nauseous. The ringing sound in my ears I believe is the Frey effect as it changes depending on the day and amount of cloud cover. My husband died this year of Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia- a type of lymphoma that began when our smart meter was installed. His head was literally on the other side of the wall of an old house that is made of lathe and plaster. I only draw inference from the experiences but I do think our regulatory agencies need to further investigate. Thank you.

i became sick because of emf in 2017 after living close to a cell tower for 3 years, enduring loss of focus, insomnia and tiredness, unexplained otherwise. but i've always been unable to use a cell phone because it used to burn my hand and ears when i tried to. i've become gradually unable to bear emf from cell phones around me, wifi, bluetooth, cell towers, smart meters, and now smartwatches and ipads. i can't use my own computer without a screen, extra keyboard and mouse plus gloves to protect me. i can't go anywhere near people have lost my job, my social life, my home, and i found a place like greenbanks to buy a property in order to not ending up homeless. my health is terrible, i can't get access to healthcare for my teeth and other issues because emf sickness is not known nor adressed by medical staff. i've become chemical sensitive too and react with headaches, burns, asthma and eczema when exposed to certain perfumes, smokes, smells, chemicals, drugs, fabrics. my life has slowly become miserable and i don't see how and when the governments will finally listen and inform the general population and medical profesionnals and academics about the dangers of the emf on the nervous system, and the consequences and comorbidity attached to emf sickness syndrom

Personal Report Regarding Severe EMF and Wireless Radiation Sensitivity My wife, Lana, has experienced severe and persistent reactions that she associates with electromagnetic fields and wireless radiation. This has been happening for years and has had a profound effect on her health, sleep, daily life, finances, and our relationship. Lana is extremely sensitive to environments where wireless signals are present. At certain times of the day, she describes an intense burning sensation in her head that feels as though her brain is on fire. She also experiences burning sensations in different areas of her body. These episodes can become so intense that she feels she has to leave the environment immediately. She also reports being able to sense when we are approaching or passing cellular towers while driving. There have been many occasions when she has reacted before I said anything about a tower being nearby. She also develops unexplained bruising overnight, which she believes is associated with the same exposure. We live in Palm Coast, Florida, but this problem is not limited to one house or one location. Lana experiences these symptoms in many different places. At night, she takes extensive steps to reduce wireless exposure inside the home. She turns off or unplugs the Wi-Fi router and other wireless devices, yet she continues to experience symptoms that she associates with signals coming from neighboring homes and nearby cellular towers. Her sleep has been severely affected. She often moves from room to room during the night trying to find a place where she feels less affected. There are many nights when we do not sleep in the same home because she feels she has to leave in order to get relief. On September 20, 2026, Lana was at home in Palm Coast when the burning sensation became so severe that she felt she could no longer stay in the house. She left, drove to a wooded area surrounded by trees, parked her vehicle there, and slept in the car overnight. There have also been many nights when Lana has slept in a tent on the beach because she felt unable to remain in the house. I did not always know she was doing this. When I learned about it, it frightened me because I worry constantly about her being alone outdoors at night. On other nights, the symptoms become so severe that she checks into a hotel just to get away from the environment she is experiencing. Over approximately the last three years, I estimate that we have spent more than $80,000 on hotel stays for this reason. These were not vacations or optional trips. They were attempts to find places where she felt she could sleep and function normally. The impact on our personal life has been enormous. Many nights we sleep apart. When we are together and she is suffering badly, she will sometimes come into the room where I am sleeping so I can hold her and help her through the episode. I worry about her constantly. Her sensitivity has affected where she sleeps, where she travels, where she feels safe, and even where she chooses to live. She has purchased another home outside the United States in an effort to find an environment where she experiences less exposure and can live more normally. This is not a minor inconvenience. It has changed the way we live. I am asking HHS to take reports like Lana’s seriously and investigate them in a rigorous, real-world way. Research should include long-term exposure, cumulative exposure from multiple sources, cellular towers, Wi-Fi, neighboring wireless networks, smart devices, sleep disruption, neurological symptoms, burning sensations, skin or vascular symptoms, and whether certain individuals are significantly more sensitive than others. I also believe researchers should study people like Lana in controlled environments while measuring actual RF and EMF exposure levels at the same time symptoms are being recorded. If symptoms repeatedly rise and fall with measurable environmental changes, that information could be extremely valuable. People experiencing severe symptoms deserve to be heard, documented, and studied carefully. Lana’s experience has affected nearly every aspect of her life, and I sincerely hope this investigation leads to serious scientific research into why some individuals appear to react so strongly to modern wireless environments.

I have struggled to be around EMF's, RF, Hot spots/bluetooth/routers, dirty electricity, geopathic stress etc etc. I have some much trouble visiting my son in Baton Rouge (he lives near LSU) where their is a RIDICULOUS number of towers etc. I have trouble visiting my son in Dallas for same reasons. This industry is OUT OF CONTROL. I used to buy low S.A.R. rating phones but its very very difficult now. Samsung used to make them but they stopped caring I guess because they stopped. Even with a Safe Sleeve case, I cant talk on the phone for long with my boys when they call because i feel sicker as the call goes on. Europe has regulations to limit S.A.R. on cell phones. Their should be regulations that NOTHING can be put up within 1 to 1/2 miles of a residential zones. AND their should be limits. Just because they can invent the technology, doesn't mean its a good thing overall. MONEY is not everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But health and sanity is. i have heard and witnessed myself that plants keep dying when planted over some sort of stressor under the ground (geopathic stress). i have shrubs die along my house where the electric box and other wiring is. All the other shrubs were fine. AND the massive amount of Mechanical stress and RF/EMF's coming out of XBOXs (read about Ryan Sternagel, the father of a child diagnosed with neuroblastoma before he turned one- the rocking chair was by the xbox), smart Tv's, Smart Thermostats, smart refrigerators, smart security systems etc. Its very hard for me to go on vacation- hotels or Air b n b's. PLEASE do lots to help us. And their should be a lot of public service announcements (or however you get things out to the public) on dirty electricity. Electric vehicles increase this, electric vehicle charging stations in home garages increase this in a home, solar panels increase this. But every regular house has it as well. NO one should be using grounding mats/sheets in their house unless they have zero dirty electricity. I use Greenwave dirty electricity filters to mitigate the DE in my house. i bought a meter from them to determine which electrical outlets have a problem and then i check once the filter is on the outlet to see if it went down as much as i like to see if i need to add 2 filters to the outlet. my friend was sick for decades. she said it felt like her chest was buzzing. i helped her put DE filters in her house (which had very high DE- thats with no solar panels, etc) and it radically changed her life. Please at least do what Europe does, whatever that is. Will Satellite phones be better for us that are sensitive to the RF's etc from cell phones?
