gertie Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Does anyone here have a problem with electrical sensitivity? If so, please describe your symptoms. I was diagnosed with this when I first became ill with Dysautonomia. I am wondering if there are others. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopeSprings Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I have MCS and have read that electrical sensitivity can be a part of this. I haven't made this connection for myself, however - but with electrical devices all around us, who knows, I suppose it could be part of the picture. I do feel weird in MRI machines - pressure in my chest and heart feels like it's beating funny. Here's a little thing about ES:http://www.tldp.com/issue/179/emf179.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gertie Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 It means that for some of us EMF's bring on symptoms such as seizures, migraine, rashes, burning sensation on skin etc. My worst symptoms are burning/tingling sensation up my neck & arm when on computer or under lights, or seizure from being near fans or on cell phone too long. It may be different for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKenzie Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I have a sensitivity to electromagnetic fields since I hagan this POTS flare. Being near something that puts out an electromagnetic field makes me extremely weak and nauseous almost immediately. A laptop computer, our stove, my old clothes iron are all items that get me. My nutritionist gave me a magnet that I wear inside my bra that helps block the effects. The difference is amazing, but I still try to avoid being exposed to EMF's as much as possible. An electric blanket is out of the question for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKenzie Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Oh ya! Cell phones are really bad! If I have to talk on a cell phone for any length of time, I use the speakerphone. But even carrying it in my pocket affects me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gertie Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 An iron, blanket or electric heater is also bad for me. A symptom I forgot to mention was flushing. Sometimes when near EMF'sI start sweating & flushing. I will try the magnet. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
