This all sounds consistent. Ideally, one would find the underlying cause
and treat it, the trouble is that this seems to vary a lot between different
people. My wife Sue, for example, developed immune system problems after
heavy antibiotics treatment at age 39, having been previously healthy,
giving all the symptoms you report below, and finally (4 years later) ES. In
her case the basic problems seem to be "leaky gut syndrome", stress-related
cortisol, and faults in 2 specific liver detoxification mechanisms. With a
two-pronged attack of treating these problems and avoiding electrical fields
and chemicals, her condition has improved and she now "bounces back" faster
from any exposures.

Cellphones and computers are generally bad news for people who have become
ES, but if you can't avoid them in your job, Marc and lots of others in this
group have practical suggestions on devices for reducing the effects. Again,
though, different things work for different people.

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.
