Seeking housemate with ES in the UK.....

Hi There,

I'm new to the mailing list and have suffered with severe ES for about 7
years.
I manage my ES the best I can but its not easy with everyone having mobiles
and masts appearing everywhere. Presently I'm having bad housing problems,
specifically with a nasty neighbour and I'm being forced to move home. I'm
looking for a housemate with ES, to share a 2 bedroomed house in my area,
which is Halifax, West Yorkshire. Below is some background info, a sort of
personal ES profile:

I was a university graduate and customer services manager, until I was
struck down with ME/CFS in my early 20's. Then the ES and MCS appeared and
became worse as time went on. I attribute the onset of my ES to the launch
of the mobile phone industry and mast erection in the mid 1990's.

I used to stay at my Grandma's house which has a mobile phone mast directly
outside her garden and this quickly made me very ill. Subsequently using
mobile phones became impossible becuase of extreme side effects. Now I can't
even be around any mobiles switched on. I've also developed "allergic type"
reactions to a whole range of other electrical/RF things. I react far worse
to radiowaves/high frequency radiowaves, and magnetic fields than electrical
fields. The long list includes: mobile phone masts, mobile phones, microwave
ovens, radios, hi-fi's, digital video cameras, DVD players when switched on,
digital clocks, laptops switched on or off (with a battery in it), Binatone
landline telephones, most cars, telegraph poles and wiring, high powered
computers with DVD drives, to a lesser extent TV's, CD players and computer
monitors. Flat screen monitors effect me very badly for some reason. Even
mobile phones switched off with a battery in them effect me badly, perhaps
due to a strong magnetic field.

Electrical fields are much less of a problem for me (eg. light bulbs,
washing machines, fridges, though I can't stand near the mains box in the
house which I find very strong, plus I can't stand directly under street
lights for too long. I've used aluminium sheet shielding which is earthed to
cut down my exposure to strong sources of microwave radiaition. It's not
100% but I can definately feel the difference.

My allergic type symptoms are many and varied: rapid onset of fatigue,
nausea with strong exposure, skin reddening and sometimes rashes,
tingling/itching and pin pricking sensations, incredibly bad headache-
inability to concentrate/remember things or hold a proper conversation with
someone, muscle pain and stiffness, feeling very hot and then very cold, my
circulation to hands and feet is effected. Also what feels like my brain
meninges underneath my scalp surrounding my brain gets very inflammed and my
head feels like its on fire! My spinal coloumn, back of my neck, also gets
very hot and inflamed. I get very dizzy and my balance is effected. My
symptoms are also directional ie, if the source of radiation is coming from
my left then the left side of my body reacts first with a hot, burning
sensation then all the other symptoms follow. I feel like a human anttena!

My entire life has been turned upside down by this. I cannot go anywhere
since everyone has mobiles and more and more masts have appeared. It has
effected my relationship with my boyfriend. I haven't been able to work for
years and my own 'blinkered' family think I have psychological problems and
cannot accept ES is real and that it can't effect me so severely.

However its not all doom and gloom. I have improved a little bit. I have
been diagnosed with a chronic viral infection as well as a chronic candida
infection, and my imune system is all messed up. I would say the viral
infection and candida has over the years damaged my nervous system and is
the underlying cause of my ES. I think my spinal coloumn, neck and head are
particularly susceptible to ES. I take anti-virals on and off and I find
when taking the tablets my ES isn't as bad. I'm also eating lots of
essential fatty acids in mackerel, borage and hemp oil which has helped my
headpain a lot. Plus the grounded aluminium shielding is very helpful.

My only serious problem right now is a very nasty, mentally ill neighbour
with some kind of chip on his shoulder. He found out about my ES problems
and ever since has collected as many phones and microwave ovens he can get
his hands on and is determined to make me move. I try to shield this as much
as possible, but the longer I stay here the more he collects and I'm being
forced out of my own home. For a long time I've been trying to find
somewhere else that is suitable for me to live, ie somewhere that I can
tolerate, with no masts near by and respectable neighbours. Recently I've
found an ideal house to rent. It is 2 bedrooms and I'm currently looking for
a house mate with severe ES like myself who receives housing
benefit/disability allowance. I'd be most happy to share a house with
someone who understands ES and who is discreet with the neighbours for
obvious reasons.

The problem round here is that there are very few one bedroomed houses, and
the occasional one that is up for rent is either in a bad area, the landlord
won't accept DSS, or its too expensive to rent. My area (Calderdale, West
Yorkshire) is a very popular place to live (close to M62, between Leeds and
Manchester). Hence some properties are pricey. I've recently found a 2
bedroomed house in a nice location (no masts), £395 per calendar month. The
landlord will consider DSS applicants. THis works out about £200 each with
the housing benefits people should be happy to pay, as living in 2 seperate
houses would cost them more per person. I would also be glad to share a
house with a fellow ES sufferer and for some mutual support. I would like to
point out that I wouldn't be able to tolerate mobile phones/laptops/high
powered computers in the house.

The housing association that I'm curently with cannot find me any suitable
alternative accomodation that I can "tolerate" living in becuase of my ES.
There's either masts too near by or the electrical fields in the flat are
just far too strong. I find that I can tolerate most private houses,
particularly older, stone built houses. Hence I'm looking for a housemate
with ES.

If anyone is interested please e-mail me ([hidden email])
or reply on the mailing list and I will get back to you. This might be a bit
of longshot but I thought I'd see if anyone was interested who may also has
problems with finding suitable housing.

Thanks
Rachel

Well, it may be a longshot, but you never know. Have friend that was
former UK citizen, I'll ask if she knows anyone there that might be
interested.

I have that burning in my head/neck/spine at times. I've found it is
most often due to a chemical weed or bug exposure. I've found
nothing that helps it whatsoever, I just take milkthistle and
whatever I have to support liver and hopefully clear it out sooner.
Usually takes 3 days when it happens. Sometimes pinched nerves also
involved in neck. Have read many, many people with CFS have had neck
injuries, and it causes spinal stenosis? -impedes the flow of the
spinal fluid. Surgery can often correct it, but awful scary to me
that close to spinal cord and at the top of your neck. Rather try
Perla's idea of loosening that area up.
On some people pushing that vertabra in, where the usual is not the
natural position for that individual can cause heart attack not long
after.

Will burn a candle for good thoughts for you. Helpful or not as
people believe, the good wishes are there. :)

Rachel, your symptoms seem very similar what mine once were, although
I've mostly recovered from my problems.

The chronic infections/candida is something that I treated mostly
with citrus seed extract and probiotics. Also seaweed/aloe vera
supplements like Seasilver helped improve my candida and also my
ES. Also I've taken a lot of heavy metal removal products (e.g. NDF)

I'm curious if you have had a lot of mercury dental fillings (or your
mother did)? Some of your symptoms seem like they could be mercury
related.

For tolerating the environment, I did the best using EMF protection
devices, like those from Quantum Products, Springlife Polarity,
etc. In the UK, I've heard of a product call the Raditech, but I
don't know how well it works:

Hi, Rachel,

I was thinking this same thing (as what Marc wrote). I had lifelong candida infection as well as a chronic bacterial problem and I just have to maintain control over these. I am not saying that you are wrong, but what are your health problems--symptoms-- now? Maybe your nervous system problem is correctable. I had all sorts of health ramifications caused by toxins and wastes. It cascaded down to fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, lymphatic congestion, and adrenal dysfunction, among other glandular and hormonal complications and things like acidosis and anemia. It hasn't been a walk in the park to get control of these, but I have now nearly entirely recovered.

Hope you can recover to,
Diane
