Welcome to the list -- yes, it does indeed sound like you have
electrical sensitivity. I think a lot of people on this list
have suffered from those same symptoms, including myself.
For myself, after experimenting with this for years and reading
what's out there on the subject, I have come to the conclusion
that the electromagnetic fields emitting from the TVs and
flourescent lights are mobilizing deposits of heavy metals
in my body into my bloodstream, and then when they are in
my bloodstream, the cause adverse reactions. So the longterm
solution is a "heavy metal detox", which would also
need to include removing any metal dental work you may have.
Depending on how bad things are, you should expect the
recovery period to be measured in years, but there are
things you can try in the shortterm for immediate relief.
For one, you can limit your exposure by moving appliances
further away from you -- for example, if you have a clock
radio next to your bed. Also, if you have any energy-efficient
florescent light bulbs in your house, replace them with the
older incandescent type. Some people also do better on
flat screen computer monitors, but I found for myself that
these made my symptoms worse, so instead I found that I
could get help by reducing my old-fashioned monitor
resolution to 800x600.
Another area of extreme importance is diet -- I have found
that certain types of food make my symptoms worse, and
some make them better. For example, a bowl of oatmeal
helps me quite a bit, while an orange makes things worse.
I have also found that sea vegetables make things better,
as do dates, bananas, avacados, almonds, carrot juice
(which I now buy at the health food store, because organic
foods are supposed to be better for you).
For me, any food or supplement high in polysaccarides seems
to be of great help -- this includes aloe vera,
echinacea, mushrooms, sea vegetables, and psyllium husks.
Foods or supplements high in antioxidants are very useful
too. For example, carrots contain beta carotene, wheat
germ contains vitamin E, etc. Note that I have not
had any success with vitamin pills -- I don't think
the synthetic versions of these vitamins work.
Another lifesaver for me which provides immediate relief
have been EMF protection devices. There are a few such
devices sold which have helped various list members,
although I know of no device that works for everyone.
I personally use Quantum Products and Springlife
Polarizers -- the Quantum Products I only use when
I'm at work or on the computer at home, and the
Springlife Polarizers I use everywhere.
Also, I recommend that you try to find some sort
of health practitioner to work with, but I don't
recommend most medical doctors, because they don't
know what to do. Instead, if there are any holistic/
alternative medicine practitioners that know anything
about heavy metal detox, that would be a good place
to start. Or someone who specializes in chinese
or indian medicine might be a good choice.
So basically, I think the problem is that we people
who have ES are "toxic", and the fields emitted
from certain electrical devices causes these toxins
to mobilize into our bloodstream and make us feel
bad. Doing anything to limit our exposure to
toxins and electromagnetic fields is helpful,
but to be "cured" we need to find safe ways
to remove the toxins from our bodies and make
sure that our bodies built-in methods of detoxification
(e.g., our liver, our kidneys) are working well.
