We moved into our home in Sandy Springs GA in July 2017. The home was already equipped with a Georgia Power smart meter. Our then-ten-year-old son, who began sleeping in a top bunk in the basement bedroom with his head adjacent the outside wall of the home and approximately 4 feet from the smart meter, immediately began suffering daily headaches. He had no history of headaches up to that point. About once a month after we moved in, they were so severe with accompanying nausea that he would spend the day on the bathroom floor near the toilet in pain- unable to keep pain medicine in his stomach without vomiting. After 2.5 years of this, we received a tip from a friend out of state who had had a similar experience, and we immediately requested Georgia Power restore our "dumb" power meter. We agreed to pay the added monthly fee for manual meter reading. Our son's headaches immediately stopped with no apparent long-term effects although we have never had him scanned or examined to identify any damage or signs of abnormality.
