The ES are sorely in need of compensation from theGovernments who have known fully about electrosensitivity for a long time
Martin - feel free to send this out. I hope it may offer some encouragement toothers who are EHS (to share their experiences).I've just spent my fourth night in South Langley, 40 minutes from downtownVancouver. A friend of mine has gone to Europe with her family for a month,and offered to allow me and another electrosensitive to stay here, which is awonderful house on acreage.I returned from vacation near the East coast last Saturday - after a brief stayin Montreal, I travelled to and stayed in East Massachusetts in a rural, countrylike area known as Stockbridge. I felt much better there, even though I wasstaying in a country condo with a few adjacent units that had Wi-Fi and DECTphones.Returning to Vancouver was like an assault - the EMR is so strong in the city,I almost felt like I had the flu. Given that my 30 unit apartment building issurrounded by cell antennae farms on adjacent buildings, and has 12 or soWi-Fi networks in other apartment units, and almost every apartment in thebuilding has a DECT phone - I absolutely had to do something to escape.Coming to South Langley has been wonderful. I've been sleeping at least 1 to2 hours more per night than I usally do. The quality of my sleep isdramatically different - we turn off all but three circuit breakers on the power panel before turning in. The biggest problem those with ES have is the factthat we tend to become sensitive to the electric and magnetic fieldsgenerated by the current in the walls - it's not as simple as finding a place far from Wi-Fi, DECT and cell antennae. So turning off the power at night oftenbrings more restful sleep. Even my dreams are different. When in a EMRpolluted environment, my dreams are generally stressful and anxious. Herethey are the normal, and enjoyable. I have been looking for an affordableplace to live in a safe area for 15 months - no luck yet, but I will not give up.Another important discovery I'm made in all of this is how poorly I have beenfunctioning in my apartment in the Kerrisdale area, about 5 K from downtown.It has taken spending some time in a safer environment to allow me to realizehow bad things are in my current accomodations. Besides the usual sleepproblems list of EHS symptoms, the brain fog is unbelievable and my shortterm memory is horribly compromised. And I watch some folks in my buildingin their '70s as sharp as can be and marvel at how some of us seem to havea natural resistance to the level of EMR in my neighbourhood. Counter thiswith the wake up call I had a few weeks ago watching the documentary
