Sick with palpitations, chest pain, insomnia, dizziness…<br />

I managed to have smart meter installation delayed at my house, but suddenly became sick overnight with<br />

palpitations, chest pain, insomnia, dizziness, inability to concentrate and memory loss and fainting spells.<br />

AFTER becoming sick I found out that the day I became suddenly sick was the day the smart meter roll-out<br />

was completed in my area and the smart meters were remotely turned on from base.<br />

I can no longer drive, I can’t work (I’m a doctor), I have to go and sleep at my mother in law’s place (there are<br />

no smart meters there yet).<br />

My life is completely ruined and the energy companies and members of Victorian Parliament completely<br />

ignore me. Two doctors have confirmed my disability is entirely due to my sensitivity to smart meters’ radio<br />

transmission and I am 100% sure of that as I can always tell accurately if I am in a smart metered area or not.<br />
