Post your symptoms here

Here's mine. Fridge sounds extra loud and the buzzing goes right
through my head especially in the evening. Computer screen looks alot
brighter than it used to so I have to have the brightness lower. And
after using it for too long it gets really bright regardless of how
high the brightness level is. And in general my eyes are more sensitive
to bright light. The big CRT TV we have looks really bright and fuzzy
all the time and I can't watch it. I am also more sensitive to noise at
certain times. Noise from computer desktop case really gets to me as
well.
I'd be interested to hear what other people have problems with.

from my point of view - Your symptoms will be tied into a cycle of stress
reactions which will speed up your metabolism(call it what you will) which will
give you a heightened sense of awareness, (a sort of fight,flight or freeze
thing going on) gosh sometimes I could pick a fly right out of the air with my
tounge when I am in this zone or hear a pin drop, dont come at me from
behind when Iam there ! I have to keep telling myself what the f..k its nothing
personal, its my burden but I count my blessings, sometimes its better to put
the blinkers on if you want to survive and accept that life is not perfect
for any of us, we keep moving through it warts and all taking the rough with
the smooth - Thats our strength.

That said do you have tinitus ?

Re my last post, I am not suggesting that your ES symptoms are not a
reality, but if you can pick away at the inevitable psychological stuff such as how
you cope with the stress of ES, that's got to be helpful. That said the MER
will induce biological/cellular stress which will in turn manifest as outward
psychological stress, I feel this scenario especially after 15-2omins in my
wife's renault scenic car, that's an em weapon on wheels !

Yes my ears are ringing.

I seem to be worse when I am stressed by things various, perhaps the stress
hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline et al.. combine with imune response
chemicals to increase sensitivity, its definately worth trying to make life as
easy for yourself as you can in order to allow recuperation from this very real
syndrome.

My ears ring all the time sometimes a tiny pulsation overlaps the general
screech, I have learned to ignore it but it can be a good sign for me that I
have overdone things if it increases so I have to start to redress matters. I
also can detect a change in the tinitus when I am around certain telephone
antennea.

I've just read Troy's story at electrosensitivity.org and I highly
recommend reading it. It is about how he became highly sensitive to
computer monitors and TVs while using them for 10 hours a day. He now
uses an LCD projector. Maybe I've finally found a solution!!!!

Yes, I was once considering getting an LCD projector. It's too
impractical if you work in an office, but okay if you work at
home and have the space for it. Also, if you can keep your
distance from the projector!!

I think using some sort of EMF protection device combined with
a regular monitor is a more practical solution. Cheaper too,
if you don't have to spend too much money on trial & error in
finding something that works!

My problems with bright light tend to be related to vitamin A levels --
I supplement when there's a problem and it *tends* to go away. Not so
much this time, which suggests that there's a piece I haven't found. Or
maybe it's that I'm still toxed from the miserable air quality of our
lovely _hot_ Scottish summer %-O and all of my A is anti-oxidating or
something.

Btw, beta-carotene doesn't do it for me, has to be vitamin A. (Problem
converting beta-car into A???)

My difficulties with over-sensitivity to sounds seems to correlate with
brain inflammation. The tinnitus and some other symptoms too.

Just my data points for your consideration.

I have problems with inflammation throughout my body. Arthritis coming
on at age 20 was beyond obvious. I found out about the chronic
inflammation in my facial skin (cheeks and forehead get puffy) when I
spent a week in the very dry very stable climate of SW France and it
just disappeared -- quite a shock to see what I really look like. %-)
Cerebral inflammation feels like my brain is too big for my skull and
pressing against it; I used to think it was just a headache. (Sort of
like when you *really* need to loosen a belt after eating too much. A
zip in my cranium would make life so much more comfortable.) The
inflammations often travel together, so I can check the visuals to see
if something's going on with that.

Principle cause *seems* to be a reaction to free radicals in the
bloodstream coming from impaired detox systems. Secondary cause, but
the more noticeable one, is changes in weather pressure. A huge storm
started blowing in this afternoon and I've had a crash course in what
inflammation can do. I can write, but can't track what other people say
every well -- if you had written a longer question I might not be able
to answer it. %-)

I used to get this symptom when I was taking a lot of chlorella.
I think it was caused by too many heavy metals in the bloodstream.
Fortunately, it went away by simply stopping the chlorella.

Do you have electrosensitivity as well or are your problems just
caused by the things you have listed? I wonder if there are any
devices you can buy which can alter the air pressure in a house?
