I am realizing that my friendships that I thought would make it through anything, are as impermanent as anything else. Some of my lifelong friends have tried to understand, but most are so technology dependent (as I was), that they have been slowly drifting away. I too would like to find people around west Wisconsin who have ehs.

One example, we had a horrible lightening storm yesterday morning. I get a little emotional when I am "lit up" for longer than 5 hours or so. My decision making skills and overall cognition drops. Some have unfairly assumed drug use, mainly meth. I had a mild heart attack April 20th, and the equipment like the ekg was like shock therapy. I was drug tested multiple times (all clean), I also was an electrical engineering major in college. Stepping on the hard floor with bare feet saved my life. This was my clue to ehs. I was ungrounded. The doctor thought I was nuts, even though I had remembered something about this when looking up rare electrical phenomenon one time.

The reason I put all that in there is NONE OF MY FRIENDS OR FAMILY looked up the information I asked them too. I am one of the more severely affected people, and even now it is difficult to finish this message. I have been journaling about all of my experience with this. I have had to give up everything including my 10 year old son as I don't know if I will be fully functioning moment to moment.

So yes, I understand why you are looking for others who can truly empathize with this heinous condition.
