Yes, this is the first job I've had to use a cell phone. I didn't use
one at all before. My other symptoms are trouble sleeping, digestive
problems (doc ran tests and couldn't find anything wrong), fatige,
hives and other allergy symptems that I never had before. (I'm 41
years old and never had allergies as a child) I don't use a lot of
chemicals but when I'm in my office, the cleaning solutions they use
bother me. At home we use organic products as much as possible. My
immune system has seemed to take a beating over the last few years.
