I used a cordless phone years ago. When I would talk over 15 minutes I always got a nasty headache on the side I held the receiver the most. When I hung up the headache would lessen and then cease. It finally made me realize it was best not to use cordless phones. Cell phones and microwaves have always been on my caution list. This seems only common sense.
