Has Anyone Heard If Electrical Towers Making You Sick?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Before chronic migraine and fibromyalgia I was an active person and loved my job. The company that I worked for had an electrical tower in the parking lot right behind the building. Has anyone ever heard this could be the cause of their illness?

Yes, I've read a lot about EMF sensitivity (that's what that is). I installed a bunch of power strips that turn everything off when you turn the main thing off (roku, dvd, speaker, etc. plugged in with TV as the master, etc.) and I shut down as much RF receivers as I can at night while I'm sleeping (wireless router, cell phone, bluetooth, etc.) but it's all around us, all the time. I've told my husband I want to move to the town in WV that doesn't allow any of that stuff because of the huge, sensitive satellite dish there but he thinks I'm nuts :-)

Yes, I have. I can hear buzzing when I pass certain towers. Sometimes I smell something metallic if we have multiple things plugged up, so I unplug them. I don't know the research, but I know that if pulses are sent out, could we not also feel them in some way?
