Sleeping on metal - lost for words

alinepapille
This is maybe a strange question but I am having a problem describing
the sensations I get when sleeping on the bed in our guest room which
has a metal bed frame as well as the usual springs.

Can anyone describe how it felt to them sleeping on a bed with metal? I
know everyone is different but I might get some help with describing
the sensations to my husband.

Breathless is one word I have but there's a lot more to it than that.

Thanks,
Aline

oh Aline! Don't mention beds! My bed situation is an ongoing work in
progress, mainly probably because i haven't got much cash. The ideal
would be to get a carpenter to knock up a metal free bed.

I am so sensitive that I appear unable to tolerate any metal parts
whatsoever in my bed frame.

The symptoms i get have changed a bit since i moved. When i was in my
flat in Brighton the symptom consisted of a kind of contraction/
palpitation/flipping over in my solar plexus/abdominal area.

Since i've moved to a ray free area, but one that seems to be worse for
mag fields, my symptom is electric shocks/spasms going up my legs, and
a feeling of burning deep inside my leg. When it gets really bad, when
the burning stops numbness takes over. Went to my doc when i was at
this worst point and my white cell count had fallen below the normal
range.

People call it restless legs, like its a slight inconvenience, but a
harmless condition, but my own personal theory is that restless legs is
the bone marrow malfunctioning/under stress.

PS. does anyone know whether in this advanced age it is possible to get
metal free, non conductive, screws?(stop smirking!) I asked in a
couple of shops, i'll let you imagine the response!

A clever carpenter could lash together wood with ropes, could be quite
creative, make sure rope is chem free

think you can get no ferrous nails, but you could also use wooden dowels !

Wood pegs or biscuits are a common way to join wood. Any carpenter would
know how to do this.

The problem with beds are the static magnetic fields.
They are in metal parts.
A few screws do not matter much, but supporting rods etc. can be heavily
magnetic.

There are some bed designs which are good.
For instance http://www.huesler-nest.ch
For their spruce they even use wooden screws.

cHARLES - Talking about metal, what explains why a 2.4m long alluminium
support for my polycarbonate sunlounge roof has both an electric feild of 40vm
and a mag feild of 1mg ?

Hello Paul,

a 2.4m long alluminium support is quite a large body.
It works like a secundary antenna, and emits radiation.
Try fixing some sort of grounding on it !

Every large metal surface works like a secundary antenna.

That is the reason why some electrosensibles do have reactions to phone
masts, which are not even connected to their mains line. They receive
signals and transmit them. Not on such levels that phone converastions can
happen, but strong enough for electrosensibles to have adverse reactions.

Be aware that electrosensibles may react to HF signals of less than 1 uW/m2.
And also to 30 kHz signals in main electricity lines, as well as in the
*space* present signals from f.i. halogen lamps, televisions, computers.

I measure 30 kHz signals coming from televisions sets, which are NOT
connected to the mains.
And don't forget the many TL lamps (Fluorescent).

I went to the web site , it didn't say how much a bed costs and if they can
ship to USA. Any idea?

Thanks - the strange thing is that out of the 6 supports in close proximity
this is the only one that registers on the trifeild. Could it be that at
2.4m long this corresponds with 2.4 gig dect phones etc ?

Just be careful about the varnish that is applied to the wood...
there are certain kinds of wood finishes that I just can't
tolerate (and water-based is sometimes no better)

I suppose they do.
However, those beds are not cheap, but do cost less than a boxspring.

There are a number of wood finishes, that contain formaldehyde.

I used to think alot better but now I cant seem to hold more than a few
thoughts in my head they slip through my mind like grains of sand, before I can
make a whole thought out of them. That ussually happens after 10 mins on the
PC, after that I am using reserves.

I've noticed this many times - been thinking of doing something with the computer, and
as soon as it has booted that idea is gone. Had to learn to write down ideas before
booting.
