New to group

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this group, my name is Alexis. I'm not sure if this is the
right group for me though! I do not feel ill around electricity or
flourescent bulbs or anything like that. At least, I don't think I
do... I found this group while searching for electric shock
sensitivity. I get shocked in the winter ALL THE TIME. I grew up in
NJ and don't remember it happening there, moved to FL at age 13.
Lived there until age 35 when I moved to Missouri. Well now every
winter everything shocks me, with extreme pain. I even shock my cats,
repeatedly! I Wouldn't have thought anything was unusual about it,
it's dry air, etc. But when I am hloding my cat, shocks just happen
over and over. When I pet the cats, shocks follow my hand down their
spine. In the summer, my cats rub their faces on mine, but in the
winter, they get a shock, then they think I am hurting them on
purpose! I can deal with the painful shock getting out of the car
(though I am fearful EVERY TIME) door knobs, etc. But I hate what it
is doing to my cats. So, maybe I just have something similar but to a
lesser degree? Can someone point me to a group that would fit me
better? I am moving back to Florida soon, but maybe there are other
things that are associated with this. Back pain, tired all the time,
can't get enough sleep, frequent but minor headaches, I thought I was
just getting old... (I'm 38)
Thanks, Alexis (and cats Zeke, Noel, and Stormy)

> I get shocked in the winter ALL THE TIME.

I don't know a group for getting shocked all the time, but
I do know that I was getting shocked frequently until I
changed shoes -- I bought some shoes with electrostatic
dissipative soles from a local Red Wing shoe store, and
that problem went away! I'd say that perhaps using more
cotton clothing (less polyester, etc.) might also help,
but I'm not sure about that.

PUK REPLIES = Definitely check out your clothing and shoes to those that are
less likely to generate static E, natural is the way to go, if you are
wearing things like fleeces etc, this will generate a constant Efeild to your body
which cant be good, also try to drink plenty of water (not excessive) and
perhaps moisturise your skin. in the winter the dry air as you know is great
for static discharge.

I hate to tell you this but this was exactly how things started out for me about 7 years ago - at the time I didn't know what it was but over time [and without my knowing it] things have ramped themselves up to a point that about 20 months ago I became electro hyper sensitive - who knows if I had known then what I know now I maybe could have done some things to stop my progression down the EHS path. So maybe you should read some of the postson this site and take a good long look at your environment both at home and at work and maybe make some changes which would help you preserve your health as much as you can.

Hi, Alexis and Stephanie (and Helen, Amy, and All),
 
Sorry I have not been well of late and have been off my computer for the past 2 months or so.  So if I owe you an email, or you have written me in that time frame, know that I hope to read my mail and respond soon or asap.  Sorry I missed you, Helen, before you returned home.  Hopefully wewill connect again when you return.  I will write soon.
 
Paul in UK, keep up your grit!  You have my great admiration and sympathy, dear.  Maybe you could pay some thugs to.....  ;)  j/k
 
Alexis and Steph, re your problem with static electricity and shocks:  I was like this for years prior to becoming ES, also.  I fried small appliances, computers, and light bulbs on a regular basis by just touching them or turning on light switches.  The advise you have gotten from Paul and Marc is good, Alexis.  All natural fabrics and the anti-static shoes are a real help.  I was a part of this forum for, I think, 2 years prior to becoming fully ES as others are here.  (I came originally looking to see if everyone here fried things and whether they could wear watches next to their skin, which I can't.)  It was a real help because I had a head start onfiguring things out, ES-wise.  So my advise is for you to stay and read, also.  In the end, it was a pesticide episode that put me over the topand brought on ES, so I would add that you should also be living as greenly and cleanly as possible.  Clean up your space and avoid as much toxic
pollution of all types as possible.  There is a name for what happened to me, and what could be beginning to happen to you:  TILT--"toxin inducedloss of tolerance".  You can "google" or search these exact words and it will bring up a list of sites which will give you lots more info than I could recount in an email. 
 
Learning about how to recognise and remove extra toxins from your surroundings will help.  Beginning to learn about how to clean your lymphatic system MAY help.  It seems that lymphatic overload is involved in ES, MCS, TILT, and EI.  HOWEVER, you must learn about this step before implementing it, because the process of cleaning the lymphatic system might cause detoxing inside your body that could, on its own, put your body over the toxic threshold.  So this is not a thing to do lightly without studying it and knowing what you might be unleashing that is already in your body(unless you are already over the threshold and nowhere to go but up, and even then you have to be sure you are not just mobilizing toxins or moving them to even worse places, like the brain or other organs). 
 
One thing which might help you now and, hopefully not cause great detox, is alkaline water or something else that addresses metabolic acidity in your body.  You will probably at some time want to detox, but do it very slowly and only after you have done the other helps mentioned.  You will also have to know whether your liver detox pathways are working well before you do any detoxing.  Try eating just grapefruit for a meal and see if you feel better.  Grapefruit stops the detox pathways so that nothing is being detoxed.  If you feel better eating grapefruit, this would suggest that one of the pathways is not working properly or the pathways are out ofsinc.  If you feel worse, it might suggest that both detox pahtways are not working and you are not detoxing at all or that you have too much backlog of toxins going into the liver.  Drinking coffee stimulates Phase 1 liver detox, so if you feel better drinking coffee (do not try the coffeeand
grapefruit at the same time!), then you know that you need to supplement with nutrients which help Phase 1 liver detox.  If you feel worse drinkingcoffee, then suspect that Phase 2 detox is not working efficiently and needs nutrient supplementation.  I forget what you can use to stimulate Phase 2 detox.  Maybe someone here knows this or you can google that.  I would look it up for you but I am not well enough to do it at this time.  (You could ask me next month and I might be able to send you more info on that.)  Naturally, a good or bad reaction to grapefruit or coffee can mean other things besides what I have mentioned.  These are just clues to helpyou decipher but not hard facts to go by.  Good luck, Alexis.  I hope you can avoid ES altogether.
 
My best to you all,
Diane aka Evie
