For those that wish to introduce themselves to the ES-UK community http://www.es-uk.info/forums/forum.asp?forumID=7 http://www.es-uk.info/images/rss.png http://www.es-uk.info/forums/index.asp Hello All

I am electrosensitive and have know since 2006. I am writing to introduce my self ( I tried posting last night but something

went wrong which is just as well as this needed a spell check).

For as long as I have owned a mobile phone I have been unable to use it for more than 5 minutes without getting a headache

and never felt comfortable with it turned on in a pocket. It did not take long before I only used it when absolutely

necessary. I cannot remember when I bought it but it could have been 2001.

Later in 2005 there were some early warnings of what would later happen in 2006. Mostly these were problems with fatigue

while out walking. I could find absolutely no reason for them. Also, on one foggy morning while walking to the train station,

my route took me close to two masts. While I could physically see them I had an intense headache. When I could no longer see

them the headache passed. Since this did not repeat the next day etc. I carried on as normal.

Then, in 2006, my employer at the time introduced WiFi to our building and my desk was 10 feet from one of the network

points. I was also right next to an A0 plotter and a lot of network cables attached to the wall . After about two weeks of an

uneasy feeling ( like a deep sound you can feel and not hear) I suddenly started getting intense headaches, poor

concentration, tinnitus and fatigue. This day was also a day in July when there were thunder storms. The next day I remember

disconnecting the WiFi point in the office, being told off by my manager, and the network point fixed so no-one could ever

disconnect it. Following this I then spent the next four weeks trying to work for a day or two then going home on self

certified sick leave to recover. I noticed that all my favourite places to walk had phone masts near them and I could not

follow them without getting a headache etc. Train journey's became difficult as someone nearby always had a mobile phone that

gave me a headache. I switched to slower unpopular trains that were empty or to trains departing at times of low demand. In

the office my head would throb when someone's phone rang.

In the end my Doctor signed me unfit for work for over 6 months during which time I was sent for a number of tests. These

started with blood tests, a CT scan, a visit to a psychiatrist who asked me if wanted to harm myself and a neurologist. The

neurologist was the biggest let-down. He asked a few questions, made me do some simple balance tests and tested my reflexes

with a small hammer. What a waste of time. The best suggestion they could come up with was stress.

Initially I was better in my rented flat in a block of flats with mostly old people. As they slowly moved out or died they

were replaced by younger people who where more likely to have mobile phones, cordless phones and WiFi. The flat below me was

unoccupied for a while and the one opposite occupied by an old lady who moved out. When they were replaced by younger tenants

I started getting more problems, especially in the evening and weekends. To make things worse, my flat was on the third

(top) floor and had a good line of sight to the nearest phone mast approximately 1/2 mile away. I think the worse thing about

being electrosensitive is disturbed sleep and now it was happening to me. This was the time I went through my "tinfoil"

stage in a desperate attempt to block the source. My experiments proved to be unsuccessful. I ended up spending more and

more time at my parents where things were better, if not perfect.

I noticed while driving between my rented flat and my parents home that my tinnitus and fatigue would increase as I

approached a mast and decrease as I left it behind. From my flat to my parents I would have a headache. On the return

journey the effect would be reduced as though I had de-sensitized by getting away from radiation. When driving south I found

that Birmingham and Bristol could be quite bad leaving me drained. I haven't even dared to go near London, home of WiFi

hotspots, since 2006.

It sounds like a place where WiFi would be banned only that would be too good to be true.

I am seriously considering emigrating if it is a good place for electrosensitive people.

What a relief to read that I am not alone!

I'm a nurse in NC, USA, and recently developed EHS after our hospital rolled out wireless medication carts, equipped with powerful laptops. Had to leave my job! And the staff health MD told me it was "stress"

What therapies/ remedies/ gadgets actually work for y'all? I've already spent a couple thousand dollars, and have nothing to show in terms of improvement, except my grounding mats.

If there are any nurses out there, it is true these medication carts also caused problems in the UK? If so, how many nurses? Who can I contact, so that I can share this story with my former employer?

So grateful for your help, in advance!

It can be translated as skill with energy. In TCM theory the human body is a dense form of energy with various energy flows within it - acupuncture channels, organs & so forth. Our human body or dense energy field exisits within larger energy fields of various densities - such as the earth's gravitational field. QiGong practice harmonises one's energy field. In TCM excess/lack of energy in one or other of the Dantians (energy centres), organs or acupuncture meridians can lead to one's energy field being more susceptible to external energy fields causing reactions & responses in one's body.
The above is a very brief intro to a practice that is over 5000 years old & quite complex!
I write this brief paragraph as a QiGong student who suffers from ES found QiGong to be helpful to him & asked me to attend the ES conference. Unfortunately I couldn't make it but if anyone would like to get in touch with me please feel free to contact me - shixingfa@bigheavenlittleheaven.com

http://www.es-uk.info/forums/thread.asp?threadID=654 Shi XingFa Introductions 2011-10-6 Hey Everyone,

I sure am glad I found this forum. I have suspected that I am electrosensitive for almost a year now. I just moved into a new place 3 weeks ago (after living out on a farm for a few months), and my symptoms are really flaring up. I feel stressed all the time, can't get a good night's sleep, and feel weird electrical pulses in my chest, which worries me. I definitely don't feel rested when I wake up. In fact, I feel uncoordinated and just plain out of it most of the time.

Here is my living situation - it's a bachelor suite in a 100 year old house. I'm on the main floor, my fridge and oven are right next to my bed. I've considered unplugging them, would that help? I could try use a cooler bin instead of a fridge.

Also, there my computer can detect up to 20 wireless signals here, and the electrical cables from the street come into the house right above my suite. Probably not helpful either.

So I'm wondering, is this a salvageable living situation? Fortunately I've only signed a 3 month lease, should I start looking for another place, or would I feel the same in most other places in the city? (I know apartments are bad for me as well, that's where I first noticed my symptoms). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!



http://www.es-uk.info/forums/thread.asp?threadID=766 maarty Introductions 2012-01-26 Hi, i found this site yesterday. I have only recently found out that wireless is making me ill. I stupidly bought an ipad! ignoring my concerns about my probs with radiation but i guess what i learned from it is that wireless make me ill.

My issue has been with fluorescent lighting including the cfl energy ones. This is now chronic. I had to leave my career as a trainee criminal solicitor because of the light situation. My firm was amazing and were going to install LED strip lights but police stations, courts and prisons are full of them. I would end up with flu like symptoms and massive fatigue at the end of the week (i only worked 2.5 days a week). Symptoms are a massive soreness in chest area at bottom of ribcage, then my stomach would start to bloat, also obvious head pressure, painful joints and after a flight back from Australia visiting my mum extreme fatigue and massive pressure in chest and lost 1.5 stone down to 7st.

I am extremely lucky (although perhaps not now thinking about the pylons nearby) that i am in a detached house with no immediate neighbours and mobile phone signal low in house. Since finding wireless affected me same as the lights i thought how bad it would be for me to live back in my starter home which is side to side and back to back. I would have no quality of life.

ANyway so nice to find a site to chat to others. Got to put my little one to bed now. But will have more of a look through the site in a bit.

Hannah http://www.es-uk.info/forums/thread.asp?threadID=730 Hannah Introductions 2011-11-23 Hi ES-UK

Normally i wouldn't join a forum like this but im desperate for solutions.

I have been suffering from a classic case of electrosensitvity insomnia for the last three years.

I wake up suddenly after an hours sleep with a zapping sensation and can't get back to sleep for the rest of the night.

I have had to sign off work and my career is in taters at the moment.

I have been looking for solutions and i have found some links but i have no way of knowing if they wil work:

www.lifeenergysolutions.com/insomnia/

www.earthcalm.com/products/

Both are very expensive and have to be ordered from over seas.

Does any one know of any solutions electrosensitivity insomnia?

http://www.es-uk.info/forums/thread.asp?threadID=361 insomnia Introductions 2011-02-19 Just wanted to introduce myself and give a quick summary of my journey with ES:
I first became "sensitized" about 9 years ago, it will be a familiar pattern to most of you: pain in the ear whilst using a mobile, then you start reacting to other machines like computers, DECT, microwave burglar alarm sensors and masts. My life fell apart as I had to quit work as a studio photographer, move house and begin unravelling the mystery of what the hell was going on. I felt I was in a bad dream. I was ridiculed by the medical community and faced with a wall of disbelief and apathy by so called friends and family. My emotions went from trauma and panic to anger and bitterness. Anger at the phone companies, anger at the lack of empathy, anger at the modern world for presenting me with this affliction. My partner and I left our London flat (where we looked out over the street to a BT building with a cluster of masts at head height) to stay with my mother in Bucks. However the week we moved in, Orange stuck a lampost mast up looking into my bedroom window at a distance of 50yrds. So I stuck a tent in the the boot of the car and we fled once more going West.
We eventually found a place to live where I had few symptoms, the only problem was the cottage was haunted by 2 ghosts. But it was better for me to live in a haunted house than have ES symptoms 24/7! That's how desperate we were.
Then the next problem reared it's ugly head, we were broke due to the fact that I couldn't really work (any job these days involves using electricity). Also any money I had saved up had gone on "Miracle Cures" which don't work in the long term by the way as true healing is free and comes from your inner power. As I have learnt, there's no quick fix to this guys, sorry. But I grasped the nettle and went to wait tables in a restaurant until the introduction of compulsory Chip n' Pin machines tipped me over my threshold and I had to admit defeat on the employment front.
There is light at the end of the tunnel to all this however. The key is in recognizing that our condition is not a curse it's actually a gift. We are more tuned in to our environment than the rest who are like ostriches with their heads in the sand. We are begining to see, hear and feel more clearly. Yes it's painful due to the modern world's over reliance on technology but ES takes you on a journey initiated by a "healing crisis" which, if you can bear the early years of suffering, can prove very rewarding in the long run.
I'll elaborate more on what I mean in future posts.



http://www.es-uk.info/forums/thread.asp?threadID=232 Faisal Introductions 2010-05-9 Hi Folks,

For a couple of weeks off and on I had been doing research on "dirty electricity" and emf's. This new knowledge has brought me to you for I now know I am ElectroSensitive.(I would like to thank www.emfields.org and you for posting your website with them.)


How I found out

I have been using my computer for years, spending many hours at it through the years. (college homework, and then personal use)

In hindsight on ES ; I have found that my body & health has been effected through my computer harddrive.

The Computer server is on the floor, inbetween two metal filing cabinets. I used to pull up my chair and tuck my legs beside the server and one of those cabinets.

I can actually feel that energy entering my body through my legs.


This has caused me to have insomia by interferring with my own body's electrical central nervous system. When I lay down my ears are ringing off the walls like a choo choo train blowing steam at full force.

Sincerely,
Bonhomme

Maybe your body is kicking in, in the early hours of the morning due to a food stimulant?




http://www.es-uk.info/forums/thread.asp?threadID=727 Researcher Introductions 2011-11-21 Hi,

I'm sleuth, also known as Jacqui.

I've just found this site and now the conference tommorrow. There's a chance I'll make it....assuming I'm not too late to register.

I was out having a cuppa and a sandwich with a normie friend (my first such outing in over 6years!!), somehow we got on to ES and EMFs, and she'd said she'd heard someone from Samworth Brothers on the radio, talking about his ES in a matter of fact way and how much she enjoyed it. So a small amount of searching and I find this forum, the conference info, and thanks to someone (Researcher??) I also found the interview my friend heard. Serendipitous or what!?

I shouldn't hang around on here, thanks to homoepathy I'm having an ES flare, but if i don't make the conference tommorrow I'll introduce myself properly another time. Meanwhile good to know that your outreach is working :-)

Jacqui http://www.es-uk.info/forums/thread.asp?threadID=626 sleuth Introductions 2011-09-23 I am writing on behalf of my wife.

She no longer leads a normal life. Her illness has developed in 3 phases over the last 10 years. The first was a severe reaction to hair dye followed by a horribly adverse reaction to patch testing (PPD plus azo dyes etc). The second was more generalised sensitivity to pretty much every artifical chemical she has contact with. We can manage these through changing everything in our life. It is hard but manageable. In the last 3 months my wife developed electrical sensitivity and can no longer be near people with their phones, use a pc, use her iphone, watch tv, go in the kitchen or be near a light. We have gone back to candels and a life before being connected.
At our wits end as I can see the life being drained from her and the pain she constantly faces.
We are looking for a safe house. Needs to be chemical free (from paints to lacquers to varnishes....) as well as distant from this electrosmog we are drowing in. Also needs to be near London as she is too weak to travel far. Ideas please

I am looking for an alternative to wi-fi internet as this is a major trigger for my electrosensitivity and I am sick of making a compromise of feeling ill when I work on the computer. Sod it. Any help in chucking out the wi-fi. I think it's the signal from the laptop that's worse than the router for me also.
