I became very ill about 6 months ago. I developed severe insomnia and neuropathy among other symptoms. I I had a smart meter directly outside my kitchen, and I knew from much research that they deliver pulsed radiation, which is even more damaging than ambient radiation. Since we cannot even opt out here in PA, I paid nearly $4,000 to have the meter moved away from the living space. We also have a 5G tower nearby. A building biologist tested and reported that the radiation levels inside my home were at unsafe levels. I spent additional money to put shielding fabric on some windows and a shielded bed canopy over my bed. These measures have brought the levels down. Only after doing these things did my ability to sleep improve at all. We are all being affected negatively. Some of us are showing the damage that should be a warning for all.
