Less than a year after I got an iPhone 5, back in 2012, a fatty cyst developed on the inside of my elbow. Doctors had it ultrasounded, and the only information that procedure produced was "it is very deep." I asked them to just cut it open and they refused, saying they want to aspirate it. People I know who have had fatty cysts aspirated learn that aspirating only angers the cyst and it grows. And so, I am at a standstill with western medicine, as they won't cut it open without aspirating. It is now 2026, the cyst is still there, not getting any bigger or smaller. IF only I were able to NOT use an iPhone for a year, I do know that it would start to slowly dissolve. ALSO everyone I know has tinnitus, including me. Can we please, somehow, get away from WiFi to see if that is what we are hearing? "Oh no!" says the audiologist! "You have tinnitus!" I wish that I could get away from WiFi long enough to hear. I cannot prove anything without getting away from WiFi and the world won't allow me to get away from WiFi. I feel trapped. I really do.
