I unwittingly had a SMART electricity meter fitted in an understairs cupboard in the centre of my home (I think it was 2017). I slept with my head six inches from it, only a plasterboard stud wall and my headboard in between. I suffered early morning headaches, nausea, tinnitus and disrupted sleep.

In 2020, when we were locked down, I spent more time at home and my symptoms worsened drastically, I began feeling dizzy and sustained injuries from falling after losing my balance on several occassions. My skin itched constantly and I started to feel confused, brain fogged and disproportionately angry when exposed to mobile phones. In the last few months, using a mobile phone causes my heart to pound and my blood pressure to increase sharply, it's fine when I don't have any exposure.

I'm not alone! My son, age 51, has also begun to feel symptoms, when exposed, he experiences chronic fatigue, bouts of unexplained anger and frustration, and becomes confused.

I suffer from hypothyroidism, as do both of my next door neighbours on either side, who live with SMART meters in their homes.

I have a good friend who has a cell tower adjacent to his house, he suffers more symptoms and I find the energy in his home so toxic that I cannot go in his house.

I am SO VERY GRATEFUL to Secretary Kennedy for raising awareness on this issue, which I believe is causing suffering worldwide. Thank you!
