I have been trying to work it out, I have been a member of ES UK since about 2004,since the days of Rod Read for those of you with long memories. My ES was very bad initially so I never really spent any time on the website. Then when my condition began to improve I kind of got back on with other things, like earning a living.
So here I am making amends and finally introducing myself on this forum.
I am here because I would like to help, I don't have all the answers but I do, through my trials and tribulations, seem to have found some of them. So here is my story….
I can remember the day I became electrosensitive, as if it was yesterday, it was actually 8 years ago. I didn't know that day was an important one at the time. I didn't realize what it was. I thought Id just got some kind of headache.
I remember it was winter time, mid-February and I was doing some work outside underneath a caravan chassis (I worked on a caravan park at the time). The mobile phone started to ring I scrambled out, pulled it out of my pocket and put it to my ear. I started to get this pain this tingling feeling, this heat around my head. I answered the call all the same and carried on, or tried to carry on because when I got the next call the pain was so bad I had to cut the conversation short.
Very quickly I found myself at my local doctor's surgery. My local doctor, who is also a friend, listened while I explained my symptoms. He looked at me bewilderingly he tested my blood pressure measured my weight he prodded and poked and did what doctors do, and then he gave his diagnosis he said it was stress and that I should go away for a few days and that everything would be fine when I would come back. I took his advice. While I was on holiday I was fine. When I came back to work the first mobile phone call I got, the very same thing happened again, except each time it got worse and worse. I stopped using the mobile phone. I started to do more work on the computer. When I sat in front of the computer screen I started to feel the same symptoms. So instead of being out on the park I started to work more in the office so I could use just a normal phone. Then I started to get the same symptoms from using a normal phone.
I went back to the doctors he gave me some medication, it did block off some of the symptoms but I just felt so tired and lacking in energy. I went for a series of tests, eyes, nose and ear tests. They found nothing. I tried acupuncture, it did nothing. I went to a healer, it did nothing. I went to a neurologist; she spoke to me as if I was some mad person, as if everything I was saying could only be a figment of my imagination. I started to think it was in my mind. This went on for more than two years, I lost weight and I began to feel depressed.
I was living with a constant headache, I developed joint pains, my ears ached and my eyesight deteriorated, I developed high blood pressure and lived in a constant state of fatigue.
But I was determined not to be beaten by this thing. Then one day I had my eureka moment, I came across an article in the Daily Telegraph, and it spoke of somebody who was a Chief Executive of a big company that he was so ill with electricity and mobile phones and so on that he had to switch off the electricity in his house at night to be able to sleep. I was just overjoyed to hear this. I wasn't on my own. It wasn't just in my mind, it was real. The symptoms were the same but it meant that I could talk about it more openly and freely. Though even now I don't talk about it, unless people ask me why I ask them to switch their mobile phone off in my presence.
This thing has transformed my life. I can't live the same as before, I can't walk round with a mobile phone in my pocket and be contacted at any time, I can't have long interesting conversations with friends and family anywhere and any time. I can't have WiFi in my home. I can't spend long periods in places where there is WiFi. I can't really do public transport any more, be it trains, buses or even taxis. But I can honestly say all this doesn't really bother me that much.
I know electromagnetic radiation is not good for me and I know it's not good for anybody else. Like I said I never really talked about it because I don't like moaning about my health in the same way as I don't like listening to other people moan about their health. That's why eventually I decided on the advice of a friend to start a blog.
I decided to come out of the closet about this issue. There are too many people talking about it as if they are ashamed to be suffering. In my blog I use my real name and I use photos so people can see who I am. My blog http://electricsense.com/ is where I talk about this, it's really the only place talk about this. I talk about this because it does me good to get it off my chest and I talk about it because I like to think that I can help others.
The way people are so ignorant about this issue does worry me. The mobile phone industry have done such a good job in making their products sound safe, when in fact they are killers.
I know I shouldn’t, but I do feel angry with these people and also all those that are making money out of other peoples misery peddling bogus cures.
I'm doing myself just such a big favor through not using a mobile phone. My 14-year-old daughter has got one but she doesn't ring out she only uses it to text. I'm not against gadgets, I love them. But I will never have anything to do with a mobile phone ever again.
I feel in so many ways I have been lucky, Faisal talks about it as a ‘gift’, I think he's right. I have friends who have friends who have died from brain tumors, they were mobile phone users. In one case the surgeon said it was down to the use of mobile phones which had caused the tumor. But I didn't need the surgeon to say this, that's one of the reasons I'm lucky.
Becoming ES has took me on a journey. After trying all the different miracle cures, visiting so many gurus (I spent £2000 in 2004 one weekend alone to see Anthony Robbins), reading hundreds of books and having lived with this heightened sensitivity I have learnt one essential thing, and that is to how to listen to my body.
Listen to your body and stop fighting it. When you realize your body is actually doing you a favor by sending you these signals, these pain signals, you just have to act on them and when you do then you can start and really get better.

Well Lloyd and Faisal, you both sum it up perfectly!
Im doing the same i meet many people at work, who are unknowingly suffering from the wireless radiation, and blindly carrying on In pain??
Like i did till my body crashed!
Now i explain the symptoms to them calmly, and hand out details of good websites, and news articles from all over the world, explaining the true risks, and effects to us all.
And the real cover up from the phone companies and Governments.
The truth will come out! Spread the word!
