Kitoi, what you are feeling is not unusual for an electro sensitive person. Do you have access to a gauss meter? The Trifield 100XE is a good one. Current running through the wiring in your walls creates a magnetic field which radiates outward for around 6-8 feet, (even further if your utility is using power line communication which purposely injects RF into the electric signal to create dirty electricity to do their "smart communication"), or if there are wiring errors in the house. A gauss meter will show an elevated magnetic field wherever the wiring is running in walls and floor which increases greatly at the plugin outlets. Most American homes have plastic covered Romex electrical wiring in their walls which offers nothing in the way of containing the radiation fields so it leaks into the room. The current is running two ways in the wiring which helps cancel some of the magnetic field. At outlets the wiring is separated which creates a higher magnetic field. It's a good idea to move your bed away from the walls and even better if at night you can turn off electrical circuits at the breaker box to your bedroom and the room below if there is one. Demand switches are sold which will eliminate having to go to the breaker box to do this each night. I don't have one, sigh.. Wiring errors can be detected with a gauss meter by measuring before an overhead light is turned on in a room and then when the light is on. If the field increases when the light is on you have a wiring error. Make sure you're not using any CFL bulbs when trying this because most of those inject RF into the wiring and create high magnetic fields. (Don't use compact fluorescent bulbs - they are horrid producers of dirty electricity!) I have several rooms in my house which literally made me sick at night. An ES electrical engineer told me about the gauss meter test. With lights off my rooms measured around 0.1 mG; with the lights on it was a 6.0 mG. The 2012 Bioinitiative Study cautions on fields above 1.0 mG. My husband spent a weekend fixing errors found on five circuits. The engineer says most homes have wiring errors and that electrical inspectors and electricians should use a gauss meter before passing inspections on wiring, but sadly it's not required. I hope you get relief from your symptoms!

Hi Kitoi
Don't worry, your not strange. I too have felt emf from an electrical outlet when I had my bed too near one. However, I'm fine now since I've increased my salt intake. Please see 'salt water cure' to see how I over came my ES. Please let us know how you get on after trying the remedy.
All the best Rob.
