Re: Post your symptoms here

[Guest guest]

From my point of view - Your symptoms will be tied into a cycle of stress

reactions which will speed up your metabolism(call it what you will) which will

give you a heightened sense of awareness, (a sort of fight,flight or freeze

thing going on) gosh sometimes I could pick a fly right out of the air with my

tounge when I am in this zone or hear a pin drop, dont come at me from

behind when Iam there ! I have to keep telling myself what the f..k its

nothing

personal, its my burden but I count my blessings, sometimes its better to put

the blinkers on if you want to survive and accept that life is not perfect

for any of us, we keep moving through it warts and all taking the rough with

the smooth - Thats our strength.

That said do you have tinitus ?

Re my last post, I am not suggesting that your ES symptoms are not a

reality, but if you can pick away at the inevitable psychological stuff such as

how

you cope with the stress of ES, that's got to be helpful. That said the MER

will induce biological/cellular stress which will in turn manifest as outward

psychological stress, I feel this scenario especially after 15-2omins in my

wife's renault scenic car, that's an em weapon on wheels !

I seem to be worse when I am stressed by things various, perhaps the stress

hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline et al.. combine with imune response

chemicals to increase sensitivity, its definately worth trying to make life as

easy for yourself as you can in order to allow recuperation from this very real

syndrome.

My ears ring all the time sometimes a tiny pulsation overlaps the general

screech, I have learned to ignore it but it can be a good sign for me that I

have overdone things if it increases so I have to start to redress matters. I

also can detect a change in the tinitus when I am around certain telephone

antennea.

I've just read Troy's story at electrosensitivity.org and I highly

recommend reading it. It is about how he became highly sensitive to

computer monitors and TVs while using them for 10 hours a day. He now

uses an LCD projector. Maybe I've finally found a solution!!!!

Yes, I was once considering getting an LCD projector. It's too

impractical if you work in an office, but okay if you work at

home and have the space for it. Also, if you can keep your

distance from the projector!!

I think using some sort of EMF protection device combined with

a regular monitor is a more practical solution. Cheaper too,

if you don't have to spend too much money on trial & error in

finding something that works!

My problems with bright light tend to be related to vitamin A levels --

I supplement when there's a problem and it *tends* to go away. Not so

much this time, which suggests that there's a piece I haven't found. Or

maybe it's that I'm still toxed from the miserable air quality of our

lovely _hot_ ish summer %-O and all of my A is anti-oxidating or

something.

Btw, beta-carotene doesn't do it for me, has to be vitamin A. (Problem

converting beta-car into A???)

My difficulties with over-sensitivity to sounds seems to correlate with

brain inflammation. The tinnitus and some other symptoms too.

Just my data points for your consideration.

Why have you got brain inflammation and how do you know you've got it?

I have problems with inflammation throughout my body. Arthritis coming

on at age 20 was beyond obvious. I found out about the chronic

inflammation in my facial skin (cheeks and forehead get puffy) when I

spent a week in the very dry very stable climate of SW France and it

just disappeared -- quite a shock to see what I really look like. %-)

Cerebral inflammation feels like my brain is too big for my skull and

pressing against it; I used to think it was just a headache. (Sort of

like when you *really* need to loosen a belt after eating too much. A

zip in my cranium would make life so much more comfortable.) The

inflammations often travel together, so I can check the visuals to see

if something's going on with that.

Principle cause *seems* to be a reaction to free radicals in the

bloodstream coming from impaired detox systems. Secondary cause, but

the more noticeable one, is changes in weather pressure. A huge storm

started blowing in this afternoon and I've had a crash course in what

inflammation can do. I can write, but can't track what other people say

every well -- if you had written a longer question I might not be able

to answer it. %-)

Do you have electrosensitivity as well or are your problems just

caused by the things you have listed? I wonder if there are any

devices you can buy which can alter the air pressure in a house?
