Guest guest Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Salut, all. I've had Lyme disese since age 8 and am now 25. No diagnosis until age 24. Got chemically sensitive at age 21 & now literally feel like I'm dying from the fx of Smart Meters. It's been 2 weeks of complete removal from exposure (no power lines or anything else within about 2 miles in every direction) since my 4-day Smart Meter exposure. I'm still getting a lot of symptoms. Feels like I had another stroke-like episode & got more nervous system damage. The scary thing is, I've never had certain symptoms before: ALS-type symptoms, such as temporary paralysis, weak limbs, choking episodes, trouble holding neck up, poorer coordination that I ever got from Lyme, 5x mroe microseizures than I ever experienced from Lyme. Weirdest thing is these developed a few days AFTER removal from exposure. I've been in the off-grid cabin for about 2 weeks & these symptoms persist & I even occasionally still get that buzzing, humming feeling of brain & body being microwaved, which I got the whole time I was around Smart Meters. Since the towns I'm near will be Smart-Metered by September, I will be a complete hermit by that point; never going to the grocery store, another doctor, or to the library again. It doesn't help that my grandfather is dying of ALS as we speak, as his father did before him, & his best friend. On top of that, I can't tell if the Lyme is predisposing me to be electrically hypersensitive or not. And finally, my stroke-like episodes started happening 1 year after I had my wisdom teeth removed, long enough for bacteria-filled cavitations to develop in the pockets of bone where the teeth had been removed. I've heard these can also predispose a person to electrosensitivity (altho I can't afford the surgery to fix it). Either way, I just really hope this brief exposure didn't trigger ALS, but if I go by my intuition & remember how it felt, it may sound crazy, but it was like I could FEEL genetic damage being done. Some of the fx were even visible to healthy people, unlike many of the neuro fx of Lyme; after the 4-day, more intense exposure to Smart Meters, my face & ears turned red & my temp was 102.5; it rarely goes above 99, even when I've got the flu. I haven't even stayed in a building with Smart Meter on it; I only stayed in buildings where the NEIGHBORS had them, & they were 100 ft. away. Not sure what to do; no money & can't get on disability or even SSI, b/c none of my conditions are recognized & I don't have enuf work credits. Soon there will be virtually NO PLACE that I can work. I'm going to try a conductive shielding hood made from a fabric called Thule, and a Silverell hoodie. The company is sending the hood to me for free b/c they understand the severity fo my situation, but then I read the posts on how no shielding seems to work. The company told me that w/ the shielding fabrics, it's still not clear that grounding even works. I'm just praying that this damage is reversible, despite the constant disabling symptoms. Most of all, I pray it's not ALS & it's just damage from Lyme disease, so that if I eventually get the money to treat the Lyme, I'll see the worst of the EHS symptoms (temp. paralysis, choking, increased seizures) diminish. Based on my symptoms, does anyone ahve any ideas as to why the symptoms have persisted so long after removal from exposure, and most of all, whether or not this could be more Lyme related or more ALS related? Thanks so much. -E. Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
