My husband and I have been tormented for the past four years by a piercing noise that seems to be coming through the walls of our home. This noise began immediately after Entergy Arkansas installed smart meters in our area. I have had pain, headaches, insomnia and horrible depression. My husband had a heart attack, quadruple bypass surgery and is still having trouble with afib that is not being controlled with medication. I have literally begged Entergy to let us have our old analog meter. I have signed opt out papers but Entergy will not help us. I've filed a complaint with the attorney general of Arkansas but Entergy actually lied to them about coming to our home. People are suffering horribly, needlessly, all in the name of more data! This is communism!! My husband and I worked and paid for out home and now we're being tortured because a company only concerned about profit is telling us what we can do in our own home!! Please, please help us before it's too late!
