Hi, I was wondering what your thoughts are on, a 39 year old

 
 
 

Customer Question

Hi, I was wondering what your thoughts are on, a 39 year old female, having severe electromagnetic field sensitivities. I have never been able to wear a watch, since I can remember, because the batteries always died quickly, no matter how many watches were tried or times the batteries were replaced. I am now using head sets on all of my cordless phones in my home (both completely different brands) because my ear, face, and head feel like they catch on fire within just a few minutes.(everyone has witnessed my red hot ears, etc) That includes cell phones, that I rarely use. I also am extremely sensitive to ultraviolet lighting, and many electric appliances. I can hear the buzzing of cell chargers, etc.   I rarely watch TV anymore, because of the changes in the volume, when commercials come on. What is your opinion on these major oversensitivites, its making life pretty hard nowadays, because its so much worse suddenly - in the last 2 years.

Optional Information

Gender: Female
Age: 39

Already Tried:
Not using uv lights, trying to stay away from electronics, using a head set with phones, a fan under my lap top, on a table. All of the electronics seem to fail eventually anyway. Multiple computer failures, microwave failures, oven failure, light bulbs blow out quite a bit, but all on the same day it seems. And yes I have a psychiatrist that treats me for PTSD, and ADD, and he has even said "WOW you really are sensitive to your cell phone!", that I was on right before an appointment. My face and ears were red, and on fire, and it felt horrible. Therefore, I no longer use it without having it hooked up to a head set. I was advised by the cell phone CS to not bother with the bluetooth since it contains a battery."

Customer Reply

I would also still like to know why, though, I never could wear a watch, and why suddenly I cannot use the cordless items, and am so very sensitive to the uv lights, high pitch sounds from plugged in devices, and such. The watch batteries are a life long thing that no one believes, and the torture I feel from the wireless items and Uv lights, and so on happened quite suddenly. I dont want to live in a tin foil bubble, but I would try more on the phones citiuation.

Hello again,

 

It is an allergy like any other, but unfortunately not as easy to treat. The following have been reported to help though.

 

Adequate hydration, filtered water, oral tryptophan, avoidence of GM foods, trace element suppliments, chiropractice, reflexology, anticonvulsants, olanzpine, oxygen therapy, topical sea salt /baking soda, negative air ionizers, magnet therapy.

 

There is a hospital in the UK which specializes in this where you can email to get more information.
