Ian,
That sounds like a great idea. This is such a strange condition, who can my husband talk to about it? We personally do not know anyone else who struggles with EMS.
I do not have the opportunity to read all the groups posts, I only open the ones whos subject line catches my eye. The irony is that I learn more about EMS on line but because I have EMS the amount of time I can spend on line is limited. But I do save all the posts to a file in hopes that one day if one of my family members is willing they can go through the saved post and garner some helpful information for me. That might be a helpful hint for a support person.
Good Luck,
Jennie
I wonder sometimes if I should set up a group called "Husbands (or
Spouses/Partners) Anonymous" to help the partners of ES people and, hence,
ES'sers themselves! Having been through it myself I can see how tough it is
for someone when their partner starts experiencing symptoms which seem to
defy all normal experience and "common sense". It would be good to help
relationships by reassuring people that neither they nor their partner is
suffering delusions, nor is it psychosomatic, and that there are other
people around who have gone through this too.
I feel I was fortunate in that I had already gone through the "disbelief
phase" when Sue developed MCS and started reacting to perfumes, household
chemicals, weedkiller and traffic fumes. We then agreed together to try a
new doctor and we were both there when he used a machine which caused her to
start developing ES symptoms within an hour. I'd been a bit surprised at the
time that 3 Ghz microwave radiation was being used unshielded, and I knew
that neither Sue or I had ever heard of ES, so there was no danger that we
were "imagining she'd got something we'd seen on the internet". Even with
this knowledge, I still found it hard to cope over the following months as
Sue gradually became sensitive to mobile phones, computers, TV's, household
electricity and even the earpieces of normal phones, and her associated fear
as the environment around her became "unsafe". We had a complete range of
reactions from our friends, who varied from the highly supportive to the
totally incredulous, and sadly we have lost some long-standing friendships
as a result. On the other hand some casual friendships became deeper - for
example with my boss whose daughter had dust mite allergy and other mild MCS
symptoms.
Would be interested in others' views on this! Mostly it is sceptical
husbands who seem to be mentioned - not sure if wives are usually more ready
to believe, or that more women than men get ES (or both factors together).

That is incredible that you have to go to the park and sleep! I had never
thought of that option, I am hoping that some of the adjustments I am making
will help. I have talked to my husband about turning off the breaker at
night but unfortunately he is not willing to make that inconvenience to help
me. Thanks for the suggestions, if you think of anything else let me know.
Have a great day,
Jennie

Are you turning all the electric off at the breaker at night? I have to go
to the park & sleep (camp) due to the masts here. Loni

Does anyone have any information or experience with magnetic therapy?
I had sent an e-mail a few months back regarding my inability to get a good
night's sleep after they upgraded a mast near our home (1/2 mile). It's been
4 months and I still have not had a good nights sleep but it has improved by
taking Melatonin and doing some magnetic therapy. I'd like to hear some feed
back on long term/on going magnetic therapy.
Thanks,
Jennie
PS we will be taking delivery of a sleep number mattress soon (air chambers
with no metal springs) and I'm crossing my fingers that it will help me get
a good nights sleep.
