Its funny, I developed ES while working in a large historic mansion house.
Approx 1997-98, all the incandescent bulbs in the office sector were replaced
with CF bulbs. At the same time I had cat2 flourecents installed in my
office. A microwave alarm system was installed, and then all pcs went from DOS
operating system to Windows, at which point my 20inch VDU was left flickering
at 60hz, where I guess previously it was running at 80-100hz. I endured the
flicker for 2months until I worked out how to change the refresh rate.
I recall the house electrician saying to me that the electricity to the
house was very spikey, I did not know what he meant by this then. During my time
there a lady who lived in the house died of cancer! Many historic houses
get this upgrade treatment thats a lot of old wiring taking alot of new
technology/equipment.

I was also in close proximity to a 415hrz radio estate antennea x 3, and sat
imedaitely behind a horizontal mains wire and computer cabling, as well as
being directly below a lightbeam smoke detection device which must have been
emitting more than basic light.

I developed a upper limb disorder in my Left hand/arm/neck (tenosynovitis
and hypertonic/hypertropied muscles from using the mouse, with one finger
operation). This was probably due to my bodies inability to keep pace with the
damage that the emf exposure was causing in me, ironically I was/looked
fighting fit then. I was exposed to a high level of chemical called Sodium
bediocarb (flea treatment) and then my first son was born. My job became threatened
due to my es and upperlimb disorder. I develpoed severe excema on my
hands,arms, legs. The stress levels at this time given the whole package as
described, was also a major factor here I guess, but one that is not easily divorced
from the scenario, ie chicken/egg relationship.
