I hate to tell you this but this was exactly how things started out for me about

7 years ago - at the time I didn't know what it was but over time [and without

my knowing it]Â things have ramped themselves up to a point that about 20 months

ago I became electro hyper sensitive - who knows if I had known then what I know

now I maybe could have done some things to stop my progression down the EHS

path. So maybe you should read some of the posts on this site and take a good

long look at your environment both at home and at work and maybe make some

changes which would help you preserve your health as much as you can.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this group, my name is is. I'm not sure if this is the

right group for me though! I do not feel ill around electricity or

flourescent bulbs or anything like that. At least, I don't think I

do... I found this group while searching for electric shock

sensitivity. I get shocked in the winter ALL THE TIME. I grew up in

NJ and don't remember it happening there, moved to FL at age 13.

Lived there until age 35 when I moved to Missouri. Well now every

winter everything shocks me, with extreme pain. I even shock my cats,

repeatedly! I Wouldn't have thought anything was unusual about it,

it's dry air, etc. But when I am hloding my cat, shocks just happen

over and over. When I pet the cats, shocks follow my hand down their

spine. In the summer, my cats rub their faces on mine, but in the

winter, they get a shock, then they think I am hurting them on

purpose! I can deal with the painful shock getting out of the car

(though I am fearful EVERY TIME) door knobs, etc. But I hate what it

is doing to my cats. So, maybe I just have something similar but to a

lesser degree? Can someone point me to a group that would fit me

better? I am moving back to Florida soon, but maybe there are other

things that are associated with this. Back pain, tired all the time,

can't get enough sleep, frequent but minor headaches, I thought I was

just getting old... (I'm 38)

Thanks, is (and cats Zeke, Noel, and Stormy)

Hi, is and (and Helen, Amy, and All),

Sorry I have not been well of late and have been off my computer for the past 2

months or so. So if I owe you an email, or you have written me in that time

frame, know that I hope to read my mail and respond soon or asap. Sorry I

missed you, Helen, before you returned home. Hopefully we will connect again

when you return. I will write soon.

in UK, keep up your grit! You have my great admiration and sympathy,

dear. Maybe you could pay some thugs to..... j/k

is and Steph, re your problem with static electricity and shocks: I was

like this for years prior to becoming ES, also. I fried small appliances,

computers, and light bulbs on a regular basis by just touching them or turning

on light switches. The advise you have gotten from and Marc is good,

is. All natural fabrics and the anti-static shoes are a real help. I was a

part of this forum for, I think, 2 years prior to becoming fully ES as others

are here. (I came originally looking to see if everyone here fried things and

whether they could wear watches next to their skin, which I can't.) It was a

real help because I had a head start on figuring things out, ES-wise. So my

advise is for you to stay and read, also. In the end, it was a pesticide

episode that put me over the top and brought on ES, so I would add that you

should also be living as greenly and cleanly as possible. Clean up your space

and avoid as much toxic

pollution of all types as possible. There is a name for what happened to me,

and what could be beginning to happen to you: TILT-- " toxin induced loss of

tolerance " . You can " google " or search these exact words and it will bring up a

list of sites which will give you lots more info than I could recount in an

email.

Learning about how to recognise and remove extra toxins from your surroundings

will help. Beginning to learn about how to clean your lymphatic system MAY

help. It seems that lymphatic overload is involved in ES, MCS, TILT, and EI.

HOWEVER, you must learn about this step before implementing it, because the

process of cleaning the lymphatic system might cause detoxing inside your

body that could, on its own, put your body over the toxic threshold. So this is

not a thing to do lightly without studying it and knowing what you might be

unleashing that is already in your body (unless you are already over the

threshold and nowhere to go but up, and even then you have to be sure you are

not just mobilizing toxins or moving them to even worse places, like the brain

or other organs).

One thing which might help you now and, hopefully not cause great detox, is

alkaline water or something else that addresses metabolic acidity in your body.

You will probably at some time want to detox, but do it very slowly and only

after you have done the other helps mentioned. You will also have to know

whether your liver detox pathways are working well before you do any detoxing.

Try eating just grapefruit for a meal and see if you feel better.

Grapefruit stops the detox pathways so that nothing is being detoxed. If you

feel better eating grapefruit, this would suggest that one of the pathways is

not working properly or the pathways are out of sinc. If you feel worse, it

might suggest that both detox pahtways are not working and you are not detoxing

at all or that you have too much backlog of toxins going into the liver.

Drinking coffee stimulates Phase 1 liver detox, so if you feel better drinking

coffee (do not try the coffee and

grapefruit at the same time!), then you know that you need to supplement with

nutrients which help Phase 1 liver detox. If you feel worse drinking coffee,

then suspect that Phase 2 detox is not working efficiently and needs nutrient

supplementation. I forget what you can use to stimulate Phase 2 detox. Maybe

someone here knows this or you can google that. I would look it up for you but

I am not well enough to do it at this time. (You could ask me next month and I

might be able to send you more info on that.) Naturally, a good or bad reaction

to grapefruit or coffee can mean other things besides what I have mentioned.

These are just clues to help you decipher but not hard facts to go by. Good

luck, is. I hope you can avoid ES altogether.

My best to you all,

Diane aka Evie
