I am now 62 years old and have been electrosensitive since I was 28, more than half my life.
In Sweden, this is silenced, doctors who want to help us get into trouble (for example, with their medical licenses revoked). I don't feel like you get any help.
I worked as a computer technician with a great interest in electronics. When I became electrosensitive.
When I was working around 1990, I got an NMT mobile phone installed in my car.
NMT was a big problem. I became sensitive to all electronics and solvents, etc.
I was on sick leave for 17 years. Then I had to start working in gardening and as a school janitor.
I got an ABC 80 computer early on, which I used to program a lot.
Before I got sick, my mouth was full of amalgam. I lived in an apartment with a printing shop underneath for a few years, and the apartment sometimes smelled of glue. I did my military service on a robot boat with asbestos insulation. And was exposed to a lot of radar. I tanned in a solarium and had a waterbed with sky-high electric fields. For a while, I may have had a mobile antenna outside my office where I worked on the outside of the house.
When I was programming in my youth, it sometimes happened that my brain would shut down (mental standstill. Before it broke out, I turned down the brightness on the TV. (contrast)
I had a cordless phone in the house where I worked. Someone had it before me and got sick. I don't know what it was from. When I got sick, it was during a course with a lot of computers. It was way too much.
I was very sensitive to regular wired phones, which we ended up with. I have a cell phone now but always use the speaker function.
I now take antidepressants that dampen the sensitivity.
I feel less sensitive to radar and wifi and cell phones today. It was a good thing that NMT was discontinued. I have the most sensitivity to power lines now, apart from all kinds of solvents. It was probably a good thing that they removed the lead in gasoline. I avoid cell phone towers as much as possible and exposing myself to too much.
There is a lot more I could cover, but this will have to do.
