Hi, Kathy,
I cannot say for sure this will help you or not, but Walmart used to sell "Chromelux full spectrum bulbs". They are more expensive than regular incandescents, but the color spectrum is truer and help with doing artwork, imo. They also cause me fewer problems es-wise. I finally bought these in bulk from a vitamin catalog company--maybe "VitaminShoppe.com" (tho Icall in my orders and they send me a paper copy catalogue).
Like I said, this may or may not fix your problem. A stetzer filter might help if you are having dirty electricity. And the idea to reverse yourcord if the plug is not polarized is a good one--have done that and it hasworked for my laptop computer.

Does the lamp buzz the radio when the lamp is off?
Maybe you could get a spot-light type bulb, plug it in far from you
(but closer to the panel than you are), and shine it towards the kitchen?
Or rechargeable batteries in a flash light? LED bulbs use less power
but some people aren't comfortable with the unnatural color rendering.
Kerosene lantern if you don't react to chemical smells?
A loose connection in the lamp or even bulb could contribute to RF,
but given how bad your place is, it's more likely the dirty power...
