For those of us who are electromagnetically sensitive, the switch from LTE/4G to 5G was physically traumatic, deleteriously affecting the neuro-endocrine system, sleep patterns and overall health in many. I personally had to return several new iphones as simply holding them to look at the screen triggered numbness and radiating pain from my hand up my arm. After typing a short text message, it took almost an hour for the pain and numbness to dissipate. I do not ordinarily have any pain or numbness in my hands or arms so the causation was obvious an repeatable. If I held it, it appeared. When I set it down and moved away from it, it slowly dissipated. Ultimately I sought out used older equipment that was built for LTE/4G but could make it to 5G. As the suppliers are always pushing forward with their new designs and the used supply is diminishing, I am living on borrowed time equipment-wise. I am a small business owner and a trained lawyer. I am not a quack. I am simply electromagnetically sensitive thus I become the "canary in the coal mine" that reveals what is more slowly harming others. And I am not alone. Please step the system limits back to 4G/LTE or hold them at 5G. Do not push forward. thank you for your time.
