3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:migraine, trigeminal neuralgia, brain fog, connective tissue pain

3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:about 12 years, worst pain coincided with first use of iphone

3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?Yes, blood work, magraine treatment, no diagnosis

3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?eliminated home wifi and threw out cellphone in 2021. Drastic improvement in symptoms but still suffer in public places and transportation with all the phones and wifi around

3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:no

Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's:Sadly I am socially isolated more and more because of all the phones and wireless devices. I drive a 20 year old car

B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects:cellphones, wifi, bluetooth devices, applicances with high magnetic fields

B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you:

B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed:Limited wired computer use. Flickering lights worsen symptoms.

B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy):Walking in forest

B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless:mold exposure, eptstien-barr virus. Symptoms worsened after contracting covid in early 2020

B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant:Joint pain, autoimmune udifferentiated connective tissue disease

B3. For each subquestion please list up to 5 drugs or therapies or home remedies (if any)

B3a. That you recommend, as they helped you tolerate or recover from EMF exposure:Silver clothing, supplements for migraine: B2, CoQ10, Magnesium, D3

B3d. Treatments that had no effect:extreme exercise

B3e. Treatments that made your sensitivity worse:55-64

B4. What is your age range?55-64

B5. What year did you become aware of your sensitivity to wireless radiation or electromagnetic fields?Early 2000s read about this in the news, had home tested by building biologist in 2021, installed ethernet in home for internet at that time.

B6. What country, state, province, or major city were you living in when you first noticed your sensitivity to wireless or electromagnetic fields?Port Townsend, Washington State, USA
