> to remember laptop plugs do not have polarized plugs but still need to go into the outlet a particular direction--that helped.  i was repeatedly putting the plug in upside down before i marked it w a paint pen and i could feel a difference when i did.  i did alot of little things which together added up to less emfs.

good luck,

Thankyou Diane,

your posting has been very informative with regards to the finer points of Electro sensitivity. So, did you inform Dell Tecnicians of your condition and they tailored a laptop to your ES condition?

When you state "i save sites i want to read and read them after i go offline....." surly your laptop will automatically connect to the internet when you go to `My Docs` and click on : tryed myself you see and thats what happened?


I am considering the 18.4"screen Fujitsu Siemens Amilo LI3910 laptop because of the large screen & a remote mouse and using the battery instead of mains electricity, but will have to plug into Virgin cable Broadband as I do presently with my desk top, as yoo say as a "best case senario"

Appreciate, any further advice from you or any one else who has improved there situation by using laptops, cheers!

Since I suffer from the following symptoms for approx. hrs after one hoursusage on my desk top PC - CHRONIC FATIGUE / WATERY EYES /LETHARGY / ANXIETY / NIGHTMARES / DEPRESSION / LACK OF CONCENTRATION ETC, is the answer to purchase a Laptop and run it on batteries and plug in to my `wired` cable broadband connection? Also, would a `wire free mouse` be an advantage? I had seen a budget priced "(18.screen) Fujitsu Siemens Amilo LI3910 laptop" which would be a good desk top replacement. At present my EMS symptoms only occur on my desk top PC & when I am under fluorescent lights : so has this worked for any other sufferers, please comment.
