I couldn’t get over how the utility wouldn’t remove something that was waking me up and known to be a contributor to my new health issues. Was there any compassion? They must have been annoyed with my pleas every other day. Did anyone care? The news outlets wouldn’t listen and just made fun of me. Attorneys that I spoke with had never heard of such a thing. Nobody had written a book on how to deal with this. It was similar to an episode of the Twilight Zone. After finding the “Milgram Experiment” I promptly took on the nickname for my handle in comments section in articles about sleep and health issues. Trying to get the information out about the smart meter.
My day consisted of eating, sleeping, and research. I bought cases of paper and printed everything I could find supporting my new hobby. The internet said that RF was not a problem and that it was all just quackery and that upset me even more. As a kid I would fight the bullies at school that picked on weaker kids. I saw these naysayers as bullies and it really got under my skin.
Fortunately, I’m the oldest of 11 and lived in the same neighborhood I grew up in. Many knew us due to the size of our family and may have felt somewhat comfortable talking about their sleep issues or odd things going on in the neighborhood.
First I went over to my parents house and asked them about waking up at this odd 3am hour and found that they too were experiencing the same. My mother had been experiencing migraines. Then I asked my sister who lived next door and she was also waking at the same time plus she was experiencing tinnitus. Next, was a brother down the street and then another brother across the street along with a sister far down the street and everyone was waking at the same time.
After annoying everyone about the smart meter and it’s radio frequency (RF) emissions I made the decision to rent an RF meter from someone in California. It was a cheap Tenmars 3 axis meter and found it useless and disappointing as the numbers just fluctuated and brought more confusion to the table. One of my brothers, who is a professional engineer, with classified security clearance, stated that RF was everywhere and there was nothing you can do. It doesn’t harm us or we would be dead by now.
He had made a good point but I had to find out if we were the only ones being affected by the 3am sleep issues. So, I covered the neighborhood checking to see if anyone else was having the same problem. It took me two weeks to survey 38 homes and out of the 38, just 32 were experiencing waking up at the same time. I tried to be as nonbiased as possible asking “are you noticing recently waking up in the middle of the night?” All 32 said yes and some told me the exact time I was experiencing. Some wondered why their dogs would bark in the 3am hour. The six that hadn’t noticed a difference had always suffered from insomnia.
One US Army veteran was perplexed as he not only was waking up but was suffering from PTSD even though he never went to war in Iraq or had ever been overseas. Migraines seem to be the common complaint among the surveyed. I too started to experience them and a whole list of symptoms began to occur. Was this all in my head? Was I psyching myself out to experience the health issues someone on the stopsmartmeters.org website warned of?
It started off with noticing my hair falling out as it would drop on printed pages while reading the research papers. I found it easier to read hard copies rather than on a computer. That info can be found today at a website now called zoryglaser.com. The papers went everywhere with me and I couldn’t stop reading. They of course were showed to my friends and family to the point of burning everyone out. My brother-in-law is an MD and he told me that I should probably get my head checked out. So I gave him a stack of what I was reading and he didn’t look at any of it. The programming was real.
As time went on my symptoms got worse as heart palpitations, tinnitus, eczema, IBS, acid reflux, leg cramps in the middle of the night, memory loss, bleeding gums, loose teeth, root canals, numbness in hands and sometimes face upon waking, blurry vision, depression, vertigo especially when waking up in the middle of the night set in. Weird dreams and nightmares were now common and I was exhausted not being able to sleep for more than just a couple of hours.
I kept pleading with the utility and all they did was send me a box of CFL bulbs. Of course they were changed out to replace my safe incandescent bulbs not knowing that they were increasing my exposure drastically. The symptoms are ramping up. My skin is pale and pasty and I have dark circles around my eyes, the migraines are everyday, all day, and the tinnitus is getting worse and I’m seriously contemplating to just end it all.
Fortunately I came across a website called justproveit.org. The message was to shut the power off to the whole house while sleeping. I had already tried wrapping the smart meter with aluminum foil and placing foil on the bedroom wall but that didn’t work. So I shut the power off and finally slept through the night for the first time in a few months feeling like I was a kid again with joy in my heart when waking. It was such a great feeling that I did it again. Wow! I thought this is really incredible stuff.
Then I experienced a really big let down, one day soon after doing this experiment, I woke up feeling like garbage again. As I went out to the breaker box, to turn the breakers back on, I was surprised to see that I had forgot to shut the breakers off. This happened a couple more times and after those poor experiences the mistake didn’t happen often again.
I bought a tent, mattress, and sleeping bag and headed up to the forest to sleep in nature. The feeling was a relief of stress and the tinnitus quieted but unfortunately I would have to return to the city the next day only to go through the misery again.
There was a video on YouTube that showed an audible tone while measuring a smart meter. I slowed down the video and found the brand and bought an HF38B. It would be with me everywhere and turned on typically when my body felt stressed. At the time I was convinced it was all about wireless, boy was I wrong.
Wow, I had a very similar experience, culminating in pondering if life was worth living. I had gone from radiantly healthy to nearly disabled physically and mentally within about 11 months. When our two dogs began displaying frightening symptoms, that's when I got serious about mitigation. One dog was having night-terrors, crying and whimpering every time she fell asleep. The other one was chewing his groin raw and bloody, and had become angry and aggressive.
With no extortion-fee-opt-out plan offered by the gas company, we wrapped the transmitting meters (that pulsed RF over 10 times per minute) in lead sheeting. The dogs' symptoms disappeared almost immediately. Proof that this is not all in our heads.
