Symptoms


Various symptoms that are similar to traditional diagnosis, such as Fibromyalgia,
but are increasingly being proven to be EMF related when compared
as a cluster of symptoms that point to Radiation Exposure from Microwave Frequency


This list of symptoms was compiled from people who live near Cell Phone Towers
and these people do not use cell phones. Cell phone users also experience this but may not realise it.
This is important for cell phone users to review.


HEARING
Often people age and loose their hearing, some have a ringing in their ears from past activities or occupations, such as military or loud music. World wide there has been reports of strange ringing, but only occurring in particular locations at particular times. In other cases at all times. Not every person hears it but for many that do, they hear it day and night.
The ear can also become very warm and itchy during strong exposures of emf. ( Often the face will be red at the same time)

HEADACHES / PRESSURE
IN the last few years headaches have been more and more common. Often the headache will be accompanied by eye problems and memory problems as listed below, but the key thing that shows that the headache is not a normal headache is the length of time it lasts. It can last for a brief minute and then go away or it can last for hours and hours. This is because the cellular coverage varies depending on the location and number of cellular calls being made. For instance if you were driving and a sudden headache came on, then you are likely near a current cell phone call. If the headache changes and quickly disappears you are likely moving away from the problem, driving away from the cell phone or busy area. If you are at home and this happens, you are likely near a road with many cars that use cell phones at for instance rush hour.

SLEEP - CAN NOT STAY AWAKE
Instant Drowsiness
Some people find that they instantly feel tired and drop to sleep.

Tired all the Time
Some find no matter how much sleep they get they are always tired

Tingling head / feeling faint

12-04-2003, 07:24 PM hilery79
Hi, I've posted about this before awhile back. I keep getting these "attacks" where, all of a sudden, I feel very lightheaded(like I'm about to faint), get a tingly or pins and needles feeling on my scalp and face, have a dull headache and feel a little disoriented. These attacks started about 6 months ago. Sometimes, this only lasts for a short time and sometimes it is all day. I have had many tests done, but still have no answers. I have had panic/anxiety attacks in the past, but this is nothing like that and I'm not hyperventilating. Has anyone else experienced anything like this or have any ideas what could cause this feeling. I went for several weeks without having it and then it started up again this week.
I would really appreciate any ideas. Thanks~

I have similar "attacks" however without the pins and needles. I feel light headed, a little dizzy and very disoriented, as though I am not in my body if that makes sense, it is the hardest thing to describe. I also feel like I am going to pass out sometimes. My doctor asked if it gets worse when I get up fast, but it doesn't, also it doesn't get worse if I shake my head or turn suddenly. I have been looking lately on the high blood pressure area of this board. There is a condition in which the blood pressure is low and suddenly shoots up because the brain and the heart aren't communicating properly, basically the brain is saying that the heart is getting enough blood, but it isn't so there are suddenly influxes of blood pressure. I am still going to the doctor and they can't figure out what it is, but check the area concerning high blood pressure on this web site and see if you can get any help from there. Good luck!


12-06-2003, 02:56 PM hilery79
Hi, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I thought my bp might have something to do with it, but I started checking it several times a day and it is normal. I went to my Dr. again yesterday and he thought it had something to do with tight muscles in my back and neck. That may be causing my headaches, but I don't think it's causing my lightheadedness and feeling like I'm going to pass out. He put me on a muscle relaxant and told me to come back next week if I don't feel any better. Well, I took it last night and it made my dizziness/lightheadedness even worse.

Cant Get out of Bed
In many cases, people have reported that they had plenty of sleep and could not get the energy to get them selves out of bed. Reports of feeling a strong drain to their system after having over the normal amount of sleep.
As they tried to get up out of bed, the pain increased and they feel back into bed.
Often METAL bed matresses are said to conduct the electromagnetic frequencies, making it stronger. In Vancouver Canada, this complaint was most common in the years 2000 and 2001.

SLEEP - CAN NOT SLEEP
Amazingly enough, the opposite. An increasingly common symptom, around 2AM people find it impossible to sleep and remain awake until 5AM This often happens for weeks. It is partically the continuous ringing from the Tower signals that keep the brain alert. Cell Tower workers begin "Testing the tower signals" on cell phone towers most mornings between 3 AM and 5 AM. This has been confirmed by people that actually do the work and other people that work in the industry.

EYE PROBLEMS
Eye Pain - Center of the Eye suddenly has a sharp pain,
last for about two minites fading out, leaving eyes itchy

------Out of Focus Vision - sudden blur followed by dryness
------Jumpy Vision - unstable vision
------Irrittated Eyelids
------Red Eyes
------Dry Eyes

MUSCLE PROBLEMS
Burning Sensation within the Muscle
Similar to A5-35, a heating sensation suddenly
burns the shoulders, neck and head.

MUSCLES - Sharp Pain
A knife sharp pain in a focus area of the shoulders, neck and head,
often followed by the Burning sensation.
eivdence : on two occasions, in different locations, different people,
two people in the same room would suddenly complain of the same pain,
in the same location. ie: sharp pain in the neck on the same side.

MUSCLES - JUMPY - Legs Spasm, Neck Spasm, Eye Lid Spasm
Muscles often twitch for no reason what so ever - often in the morning or
evening when cell traffic is high. Now there is even a medical term for it "Restless leg Syndrome"

In 1998-2003 its mostly been the eyelids and legs, however in recent month its been the Neck also. Many people are reporting this here

JOINT PAIN
Joint Pain
Strong Cell Tower signals have constantly shown the people who are very sensititive and also those not often sensitive to have noted a sudden pain in their joints. These include the Neck, Shoulders, Knees, Wrists and Ankles.

JOINTS CLICKING
Some people have experienced a sudden increase when near computers
ie: the joint moves then "clicks", this occurs over and over.
the joints do not "crack" like one would ofen hear.

CONGESTION - FLU LIKE SYMPTOMS
When entering an area with High EMF level, many have discovered that their nasal passage suddenly becomes congested. Often it is a strange condition as there is no results of any contents leaving when the person has blown their nose.
It is a very dry but congested feeling.
Many suddenly get this when they sit down to a computer, however it can happen anywhere there is a strong Cell Phone Tower.

DRY MOUTH
Often upon the first halfhour of awakening in the morning, there is absolutely no moisture in the mouth. A "cooked" feeling also can accompany this. However this does not just happen in the morning, it can happen suddenly at any time there is a strong signal from a cell phone or tower. One person mentioned that they had 4 glasses of water and was still thirsty, then three other people in the same room stated that they were also fealing the same thing and were all puzzled.

DRY SKIN
When in a strong area, a particular area of the person's skin can have a burning type sensation. Often it occurs in the same spot over and over.
Some have it on the face. Many refer to it as an instant sun burn. Some have received sudden sores on their lower legs and some times the face also.After being around a computer for awhile you may feel that your hands or eyes feel charged or radiated. This also happens from cell phones and towers. In some cases when they are changing the setting on towers one can become so warm and feel that the skin is being cooked and becomes itchy.

MEMORY
Often people find their short term memory is effected by EMF. If they are traveling and pass by a tower, besides the other side effects that take place, their memory goes on pause for a few minutes until they are out of the area. They can still carry on a conversation and drive a car, but remembering fine detail becomes frustrating. This is because the brains "blood brain barrier" is being penetrated by cell phone signals, confusing the brain, causing it to be distracted, and often frustration.

Frustration / Patients
At high cell phone traffic periods, such as 4PM to 8PM, OFTEN people will feel so stressed, so ANGRY that they react to simple issues in a way that causes great alarm. Many Divorces and Car Accidents are caused by these reactions to EMF.

REPRODUCTION
Its been often said that people have lost their sex drive completely.
Often cell phone tower radiation has effected people that are quite young.
Scientists have shown that chicken eggs are damaged from Electromagnetic Frequency signals.

This can be viewed on the video featuring Dr. Litovitz

BRAIN SEIZURES
It has been documented that people that have Epilepsy or have had Brain surgery may have a Brain Seizure during exposure to EMF.

 

FORUM

RODEO1022 from Mississippi 12-03-2003- quote:

...The problem I am having now is a horrible sharp pain in the right side of the brain. It does not last very long, maybe 30 seconds. Sometimes it will hit back to back maybe 10 seconds in between. Sometimes it hurst so bad I can't hardly move or it will hurt down the same side of my neck. After the sharp pain leaves the same spot on the brain burns for a while. This has been going on for about 3 weeks now. No certain time of the day or night (even when I am asleep it will wake me). Any ideas.

Infact Rodeo, in your case it was not a Seizure, ( but EMF can trigger them, or create a similar feeling. )

These sharp pains are deadly, and leave a STING - like feeling in the Skull or Brain tissue for upto an Hour.

In the years 1999-2001 they were more common as the cell phone industry experimented with their new systems.

Millions of people use cellular phones every day, with or without a headset. Despite assurances from phone manufacturers and service providers that cellular phones are safe, the global debates and controversy over the health effects of these products continues. It is important to note the FDA states "There is currently insufficient scientific basis for concluding either that wireless communication technologies are safe or that they pose a risk to millions of users," and no regulatory agency has stated that cell phones are safe.

There have been numerous reported studies* conducted by respected scientists confirming that up to 60 percent of the radiation emitted by a cellular phone penetrates the head and neck of the user (see News Articles & Papers and Links). This increases the temperature of the brain and surrounding tissue and equally as significant, also affects protective biological mechanisms far below what can be measured at the thermal level using current Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) test procedures and standards. SAR standards are used as the basis for determining cellular phone safety worldwide.

These studies* also present irrefutable evidence confirming that increased occurrences of the following symptoms and diseases can be directly attributed to the exposure of cellular phone operating frequencies and output power levels. None of these symptoms or diseases are thermally induced, clearly indicating the SAR standards should not be used as the basis for determining cellular phone safety.

Symptoms reported by
mobile cellular telephone users

Santini R, Seigne M, Bonhomme-Faivre L, Bouffet S, Defrasne E, Sage M.

Institut national des sciences appliquees, laboratoire de biochimie-pharmacologie, batiment
406, 20, avenue Albert Einstein, 69621 Villeurbanne, France.

A survey study, using questionnaire, was conducted in 161 students and workers in a French engineering school on
symptoms experienced during use of digital cellular phones.

A significant increase in concentration difficulty (p < 0.05) was reported by users of 1800-MHz (DCS) cellular phones compared to 900-MHz (GSM) phone users. In users of cellular phones, women significantly (p < 0.05) complained more often of sleep disturbance than men.

This sex difference for sleep complaint is not observed between women and men non-users of cellular phone. The use of both cellular phones and VDT significantly (p < 0.05) increased concentration difficulty. Digital cellular phone users also significantly (p < 0.05) more often complained of discomfort, warmth, and picking on the ear during phone conversation in relation with calling duration per day and number of calls per day. The complaint of warmth on the ear might be a signal to users for stopping the call.

SUMMARY - Electromagnetic Frequency Sensitivity (EMS)


As said earlier, not all people agree that this is the same thing or from the same source - cell phone radiaiton.

However when it comes down to comparing the EFFECTS of radiaiton from more then one source, the evidence is clear.

 

SYMPTOMS - EMF ( EMS, RFR / radiation )



- Ringing in Ears (high pitch)
- Headaches
- Tiredness
- Sudden bursts of Blurry vision
- Temporary Memory loss (during high volume cellular traffic)
- Loss of appetite
- Constant Burping (even on empty stomach)
- Neck, Nose swollen
- Muscle Pains - major joints
- Burning sensation on the skin
- Rashes on the skin

SYMPTOMS - DU ( Depleted Urainium/radiation / Gulf War Syndrome )



- Headaches
- Tiredness
- Sudden bursts of Blurry vision
- Temporary Memory loss
- Neck, Nose swollen
- Muscle Pains - major joints
- Burning sensation on the skin
- Rashes on the skin
- Imbedded scars (extreme cases)

These symptoms from both sources are similar.
Radiation is radiation, whether its transfered in partical format or frequency format the effects on the body are similar. Each person has different reactions.

CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME
IS PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO EMF A CO-FACTOR TO CONSIDER IN TREATMENT?

EMF Sensitivity Journal - (NEW)

A place where people that are sensitive to EMF can post their daily, weekly or monthly experiences. For instance if one day you had a shooting pain that you felt was from emf exposure, its the place to post these kinds of details.

Why post details like this?
Scientists are not allowed to do studies around cell towers and see how its effecting people, with a rare exception of the France study. Big studies such as WHO may not show results until years from now, but ems people cant wait that long. A public website showing real-time effects on people has arrived. This particular area is focused on the effects to the body instead of monitoring the news headlines and seeing what the officials say.
If you are an emf sensitive person, the data you provide will be helping other ems people. Its time to get this project rolling and get the facts out there. Monitoring the news is one thing, but providing the news is even better.

How do I get Started?
You first visit the website and get a taste of what it is all about, then create a User name. Each person entering any data does not need to reveal any personal information. Details of the area of the world you live in may help others in your area compare there EMF experiences, such simple details like Florida, or Toronto. Please be sure to enter info when you experience new changes in your emf sensitivity.

Magnetic Field Sensitivity

I get headaches around active computers with open cases. This has been a reality for as long as I've worked with (the larger) computers. When I say I get headaches, I mean really terrible three-day brainbusting headaches from hell. I took some time and reproduced this effect on a great number of occasions. I found that I had aches in my bone marrow and further explored to learn that magnets and even cells caused a similar effect.
This project was inspired by the Oldschool Godbox project. I wanted to have a case which shielded against EMF which I had suspected I was sensitive to. I brought the topic up for research and did some light reading. I discovered that there is such a thing as EM sensitivity, and it has been researched and documented. It is a scientifically provable affliction.
Since learning of EM sensitivity, I did even more experimentation, even to the point of being able to tell, by touch, how much power was left in a cell. I became mindful of my newfound 'superpower' and began to notice similar feelings from basically any large ferrous or magnetically active material. Maybe it's a sensitivity to the disruption in my own magnetic field? Hrm.. well, magnets piss me off to no end.. and little electronic devices are naggingly painful to carry around.
I don't expect to do much on this project.. but it intrigues me, so I'll list it here to maybe I'll work on it sometime in the future. I have always known that I had a seventh sense, but I confirmed that this is a real-world issue.
