Hi Marc,
Thanks again for all your messages, I really appreciate all the info and suggestions.

It does make sense about the distance between us and the computer. I have moved it to
the back of my desk so will see if that helps at all....at least thats one good thing about
having a slimline monitor. I didnt have a clue that some LCDs contain fluorescent lighting
- I am quite sensitive to fluorescent lighting and generally try to avoid it. I think its
because I have mercury toxicity and I know that they contain mercury. I did check with the
company though and they assure me that the lighting is very likely to be LED not
fluorescent. Assuming it is LED would that still be considered a high voltage? I am
wondering if that or the EMFs have had some effect on the mercury in my body/brain as I
have been feeling truly awful mentally and assuming that some sort of crossreaction is
going on.

Thanks for sharing that, its very interesting and it does sound like overexposure to
fluorescent lighting doesnt it. Its good that the Quantum Products are able to give you
some protection, they definitely sound like good products!

Thats a shame the glass screen didnt help you much, I did some searching earlier and
found I was going to try. Was it something like this that you tried?...

Thanks for all that, I was using the 3 inch OM pendant and I remember having it on me all
the time but I cant be 100% sure if it was that causing the problem at the time actually. For
now I have put it on my monitor just in case. I will definitely look into the Quantum
Products and let you know if anything helps. Its much more convincing to hear that they
have benefitted someone else.
Thanks for being so helpful Marc, you've given me lots of great suggestionsI'll let you
know how I get on.
Best wishes,
Anne
