I have been severely harmed by the installation of two smart meters on my family’s home where I reside with<br />

my elderly parents and nephew.<br />

I was forced to go to the emergency room only three hours after the two meters where installed on our home<br />

(one for gas and one for electric)from severe nausea, heart palpitations and a severe headache.<br />

After several days, with the help of several highly trained medical doctors and a PA at my personal doctor’s<br />

office, I finally found a medication that allowed me to stay home and assisted me in not having to continue to<br />

visit hospital services.<br />

However, though the nausea was lessen by the mediation they gave me, which by the way is what they give to<br />

people who have radiation poisoning, it’s side affects where too severe (mild to severe constipation and<br />

cramping leading to the need for more medical treatments)to continue for more than a few weeks. I was lucky<br />

enough to find an Accupuncturist who helped with these symptoms so at least I can now manage my pain.<br />

I also suffered severe headaches (one meter was right outside my room, only two feet from my bed) and I was<br />

forced to move from a private room in front of the family house into the back of the house where the pain is<br />

much less.<br />

Now I live my life in our family’s den, always intruded upon by the need for my parents and other family<br />

members who reside here to work in the same area. I have lost all my privacy and I still suffer headaches every<br />

day now. I fear my health is also deteriorating as I keep getting colds. I have had one every month since the<br />

smart meters where installed. Even in the warm weather. My immune system is being affected negatively.<br />

My only hold on my sanity is my friends and loving mother. Otherwise I would have given up on living months<br />

ago. I hold on though I doubt I can withstand a flu or other immune compromised illness. My final act is to<br />

stop smart meters here on this planet, if at all feasible.<br />

As I already have fibermyalgia and acid reflex, this is probably the final nail in the coffin for my health. Please<br />

stop all smart meter installations and try to get all the ones already installed off people’s homes and residences<br />

and businesses. I can’t hardly go anywhere now without an instant migraine from the fact they are installed<br />

everywhere. I hate to think what they are doing to everyone’s health in my community. It makes me ill thinking<br />

how it is harming our children and elderly right now.<br />

________________________________________________<br />

A man who identified himself as working for PG&E, came to my door stating that he was here to install a<br />

<strong>Smart</strong> Meter on my home. I said, “No! Please don’t do that. I don’t want a <strong>Smart</strong> Meter.” I watched him walk<br />

out of our gated yard. But he had not left. Moments later, he entered our gated yard again and I heard<br />

pounding at the side of my home, where the 4 meters for our townhouse are located. I called out to him, and he<br />

came to the front door and told me that he was installing 3 <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Meters</strong> for my neighbors–on MY HOUSE! I<br />

said, “No, please don’t do that this is my home.” He stated that he had his orders and he was installing them.<br />

He left a card on my door with a number to call. He did not work for PG&E but a private company–PG&E may<br />

have an easement to my property, but his company does not–I believe he was tresspassing when I denied<br />

access. I begged him to stop–telling him repeatedly that I was not well, and I was not giving my permission for<br />

<strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Meters</strong> to be installed on my home. He stated, It is my job, & went to the side of my house. I called the<br />

number he had given, spoke with a PG&E rep and the connection was lost. I called back and spoke to another<br />

rep, who stated that I wasn’t on the “list” and that he would place me on it. I explained why I was calling, then<br />
