I am extremely sensitive to EMF fields.

Since moving to a new home with a smart meter, I’ve had to live in people’s basements that don’t have them. It’s the only way I feel good. When I’m in my home I get headaches, dizziness, nausea, and eventually my muscles feel very weak. It’s hard to stand, and I have an overall feeling of sickness.

I am a career woman. I work very hard. I enjoy supporting myself and my children. I fear my future and my health.

I’d like to feel good in my home and be able to work and look forward to the future. I beg that there be some kind of parameters around certain electromagnetic fields that are stronger and can have serious declining health, risks. I have asked my gas and electric company to remove the smart meter and put an old-school analog reader on it and I will pay the extra monthly fee for them to read it and they have declined. Please help.
