Yes, there are a wide range of approaches in how to deal with this.  My approach has been
to do a trial & error on all components & settings & setup, so I'm using off-the-shelf stuff
that looks completely normal, but is much more tolerable than most computing equipment.

It seems like people can react to almost all aspects of a computer setup -- the monitor,
the computer, the hard drive, the internet connection, the video cable, the keyboard,
the mouse, etc.

For example, I've purchased all kinds of computer mice over the years, but the one
I continue to use is a Microsoft ball mouse from the late 1990s (PS/2 connection, not
USB).  And I've tried all sorts of video connections between a PC and monitor, but
continue to use an analog (VGA, D-SUB) connection.  And I'm pretty much limited
to 1366 x 768 resolution (that would be the resolution that the PC is sending to the
monitor, as it doesn't seem to affect me to have a monitor that can support a higher
resolution).

And of course, people tend to use ethernet for internet instead of wi-fi, although I
find some forms of wired internet to be worse than others.   So I'm currently using
cable internet instead of DSL.

Then to top it all off, I've experimented with EMF protection devices that make
the whole setup even more tolerable.  So I can basically be on the computer all
day without symptoms, when originally I think I could stand it for about 5 minutes
at a time.
