Guest guest Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Well, it's not really an officially-recognized condition, so I doubt there are many doctors around who would be willing to diagnose it. I self-diagnosed myself after eliminating all of the more commonly known conditions. It's pretty simple, really -- if you react to a computer, a laptop, a TV, a telephone, florescent lights, and power lines in the middle of nowhere, but are fine at a park or at the beach, then that's EMF sensitivity!

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 A neurologist I saw also wanted to send me to a psychiatrist. I would have given it a try if that psychiatrist was close by. But it was more than 20 miles from here, too far for me to drive anyway. Not that I thought I needed a psychiatrist. With hindsight I'm glad I didn't go, for just as you I might have been diagnosed with all kinds of things that just aren't true. And you never get rid of that stigma.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 It was July of 09 when it started, and I thought my tongue was just feeling strange when I used the computer . I was on it at least 9-11 hours a day. I was under stress at work, my mcs was worsening due to many things mainly the air quality since I was in an agricultural valley, it was loaded with pesticides. Once while leaving work I was overwhelmed with them too. Within a few more months when I used a laptop an electrical surge went up my arm, my heart started to race. I felt uncomfortable using that particular computer. But, I had too much going on, I didn't pay attention. After I was overcome by cologne at work, I was so sick I stayed home and joined mcs groups. Prior to that I really didn't want to be associated with any group. I just wanted to be careful, and live life. On the Canary Report I read about electrical sensitivity. Within a few months, when I was laid off of work, and a significant person in my life passed away I was not able to be around wifi, and realized what I had. I have been very blessed with family and friends who have been understanding for the most part. My kids haven't been able to really deal with it, since they lost their dad at the same time that I realized what was going on with me. So it has been very hard. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- From: Loni <loni326@...@yah> oogroups.com Subject: Re: how did you get your EMS diagnosis?

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 It took me a while to figure out I was ES... At my first job I did notice I always had a lot of stress, I thought well that's normal, you want to do well... In the evening when most people had left and shut off their pc I started feeling better, I thought well you're more relaxed with less people around you... Then one day in the morning, suddenly electricity went off in the entire office building for at least 30 minutes, and immediately I felt much better/relaxed in the same location and with the colleagues I normally was stressed with! That made me think a bit. One year later, I had to move out of my house (I moved to the city close to the police). I'm still not sure I got sick there because of paint or because of emf (from the police closeby). Later I was noticing differences I was better on some places... And it was only then that I started googling on something I almost had never heard of sth like electrical sensitivity... When 3G was launched it was pretty obvious I got even sick when driving in the Netherlands for a short while, immediately feeling better here in Belgium... With bio-resonance and kinesiology tests my ES was also confirmed later... I can imagine if you're less ES then it will take you longer to find out you're ES... Well we're all ES in some degree... I guess at first you don't want to know it, you're in denial, I think our mind is " too powerful " to give in that our health could be harmed by sth ridiculous as emf! . > > I was just wondering how you people have found out that EMS is what > makes you so sick.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Psychiatrists, yes well they can find and explain anything if they start digging! Neurologists are very busy here in Belgium. I think some of them are happy to send you to psychiatrists to take off the workload... There was sth on the tv (ES documentary) about so many people recently going to neurologists with migraine, tinnitis,... I'm certain this is at least partially caused because of more and more emf... . > > > > > > From: Rixta Francis<rixta.francis@...> > > Subject: how did you get your EMS diagnosis? > > > > Date: Monday, November 29, 2010, 6:02 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I was just wondering how you people have found out that EMS is what > > makes you so sick.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 My story is a long one so I will make it as short as possible. I first was sick with ES 20 years ago when so little was said about it. I started looking more and more at the power tower that was only 30 yards from my house and began wondering if that had anything to do with all my strange symptoms that I was suffering. I was in denial at first as I really didn't want to have to move in order to feel better. Everyone back then just thought I was nuts to think that power lines could harm you. Finally about 10 years ago I discovered the book by Lucienda Grant that described this strange illness that I had as " Electrical Sensitivity " That was the turning point. I could hardly put the book down. I had all the strange symptoms she described! It became clear to me why I felt better while at work at a very stressful job than I did in my own home! Now the puzzle was solved! I enjoyed reading other shares on this topic. Interesting one. Thanks, Cheryl From: Rixta Francis <rixta.francis@...> Subject: how did you get your EMS diagnosis?

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 I didn't react to anything specific, which made it very hard to find out why I got so sick. I think that I get sick much more of RF than electricity. But I'm still in the stage that I'm trying to figure out the details. But I don't notice any more symptoms when I'm at the computer or cooking at the electric stove. Still grounding myself makes a difference, so electricity does play a role in it. I had never heard of EMS, but searched the Internet for many hours to find something that explained all the physical problems I had. EMS not only matched all the symptoms, but also the time line. It just can't be anything else. Now I still need to find things that help protecting me.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 That is correct - it did take me almost 10 years to figure it all out. I feel so dumb looking back but back then there was so little info on this and I didn't have internet access. I didn't want to believe that it was the power lines that were causing it.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 That is so interesting because several years ago I suddenly felt 100% better for about 2-3 days. I thought that I was " cured " . We did have power at the house. However, it is possible that for those 2-3 days the power tower near my home wasn't generating electricity for some reason and that it was being re-routed. Any thoughts on this? Has anyone else experienced sudden relief without any obvious explanation? Curious... Cheryl From: Marc <marc@...> Subject: Re: Re: how did you get your EMS diagnosis?

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 You are probably not the only person who suffered that long before finding out what's the problem. I attributed many of my symptoms to my CFS for several years. Till I got such bad muscle spasms that I couldn't deny any longer that there was something else going on. Then it still took me about a year of many tests and many doctors' visits before I started to search on line and found what I needed to know. Still it seems that my body reacts quite differently to these things than with most of you. It seems that one of the first symptoms is ususally headache, but I rarely have a headache... But my body has always done things differently. I'm a doctor's nightmare, because my body doesn't make any sense. Rixta > That is correct - it did take me almost 10 years to figure it all out.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hi Rixta, Actually, like you, I am not one to have headaches. My head does feel funny after being on the computer for a long time. But this just started recently and it isn't really a headache. My first symptom was non-stop, severe colds for the first 1 1/2 years I was sick with ES. This was no doubt due to a comprised immune system from metal poisoning which I later discovered that I had. But I couldn't figure out why I had this. I can sure relate to what you said about having a body that does things differently! Thanks for your response.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Hi, Rixta,  I went decades before figuring it out. I have had some symptoms of ES since early childhood and got ES in particular places/ situations from the time I was at least 5. I stopped watches from the age of 5 or 6 (whenever I got my first watch). When I was in my late teens, doctors started saying how I affected their electrocardiographs badly. I had been quite ill from early childhood, but doctors didn't seem to notice much, except I had " failure to thrive " and almost constant swollen glands. (I finally got a dx for what caused this--celiac disease--at age 49.) I began to suspect electrical problems in my body as causing some of my symptoms in my teens. I also became more and more environmentally intolerant as time went on. I occasionally wondered if radio waves affected me because I sometimes felt very weak after I listened to the radio. But pretty much I thought my internal wiring was faulty, not that emfs outside me were to blame. (I also had to be careful not to " fry " electrical things--light bulbs, electronics, watches,....)  I searched unsuccessfully for medical conditions which would cause this for years. In my late 30s/ early 40s, I began noticing more and more places which were affecting me each year. I found this forum in my early 50s (2003, I think) and by that time I was sure I had a form of ES. In 2006, after a pesticide exposure, I became very ill with ES for 3 years. I am now less reactive again, after doing various therapies I have previously mentioned at this forum.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Wow, that's a pretty extreme situation. And in my humble opinion it's strange that no doctor picked up that you were so " charged " yourself. If you influence or even blow electrical equipment, that should give a strong sign to doctors. But well, most of them still have the attitude that if their tests don't show up anything there's nothing wrong with you. But I always say that if the tests don't show up anything, then the only correct conclusion is that the tests are negative. Which can mean that the patient isn't sick, or it can mean that the right tests aren't available. But most doctors automatically stick with the first.:-( Rixta > Hi, Rixta, > > I went decades before figuring it out.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Hi, Rixta,  Most doctors could be brain dead, imo. lol The funniest thing about me nearly blowing the electrographs was one doctor actually told me disgustedly and in an accusatory voice that I nearly blew his machine! Like as if I did it on purpose! lol Never gave it a second thought that, gee, she must have something very hinky going on for that to happen! Nope, you woulda thought, but no. Only one doctor out of ?dozens?--a neurologist who did ECG and an EEG on me, thought to even give me a sign this was REALLY abnormal. (I think that's the name of the test--the casket type bed you lay in with electrodes on and then they shock you all over). I had that test from 3 different doctors and only that one doc ever said, " Gee! That is weird; I wonder what is going on with you? "  The doctor who " got it " said I " obviously " had a condition for which they had no reading parameters for YET. And went on to tell me not to give up, but to come back for further testing every 5 years till someone had a clue what was wrong with me.  I once told a doctor that alot of doctors must themselves have psychiatric problems because that is their first avenue of choice when they cannot diagnose something correctly. (He wanted me to see a psychiatrist, and when I said I had and that the psychiatrist thought I was fine, except that I had an undxed illness; his reply was, " Well you know how crazy psychiatrists are! "  !!!) I told him, he should see how crazy medical doctors look from my side of the table. I could literally write a book of crazy things doctors said and did to me while I was trying to get dxed with celiac disease. If I didn't have ES and MCS, I would volunteer to be a stand-up comedian at doctors' conventions. lol Wonder who would be laughing then?  Don't even get me started! lol Diane >> >> From: Marc <marc@...> >> Subject: Re: how did you get your EMS diagnosis? >> >> Date: Tuesday, November 30, 2010, 10:59 > AM >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >>> That's so interesting that you immediately connected the power lines with >>> your health.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 I was having all these symptoms. The Doctors couldn't find anything wrong. I was unable to sleep for about 6 years. I started getting insomnia when I first moved in this house. I would sleep for about 2 or 3 hours a night, and not in a row. Then my body started to buzz. It was off and on then the switched stayed on. I killed my watch batteries in a few hours. Same with cell phones. I couldn't touch them for long before they would go dead. Many other things, I could write and book. The Electric company sent a flier in the bill about 5 years ago. It was on EMF. I looked it up. I have a lot of symptoms for ES. The more I learned, the more I just knew that this is my problem. Every year I go to Mexico for 5 days, on the beach, with kids from a mission. I am one of the cooks. There is very little electricity there. I start to get better when I am away from it. When I come back home, within an hour or so I am full blown ill again. The only time I've felt good since 1998 is when I am away from the electricity. I don't need a Doctor to tell me what is wrong with me,but My Doctor does believes that I have a problem with the electricity. He told me to move to the mountains. Less emf up there. > >> > >> From: Marc <marc@...> > >> Subject: Re: how did you get your EMS diagnosis? > >> > >> Date: Tuesday, November 30, 2010, 10:59 > > AM > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >>> That's so interesting that you immediately connected the power lines with > >>> your health.
