state of Ca? Maybe one by itself is not a problem, but think of how many neighbors you have all around you.<br />

That amount of EMF’s have got to become problematic. J.B.<br />

I have been trying to figure out why my daughter and I have had such intense headaches and now I know. I<br />

want my <strong>Smart</strong> Meter removed. I am the owner of this home and I should have the right to have or not have a<br />

unit that puts out so much radiation. I do not and have not ever had wireless internet or any wireless in my<br />

home and yet I have it stuck to my wall without knowing it. I’m very electrically sensitive. Since having it<br />

installed I have had very intense headaches that nothing helps as well as heart palpitations.<br />

I called PG&E today to ask that it be removed and they refused. I also filed a complaint with the CPUC today.<br />

We’ll see what happens. E.B. Stockton CA<br />

____________________________________________<br />

While my landlord and housemate and I have temporarily succeeded in preventing PG&E from removing our<br />

analog electric meter in favor of a wireless smart meter, my next door neighbor’s landlord thought it would be<br />

a fabulous idea to have one installed. This happened about a year back prior to the massive deployment now<br />

underway.<br />

Soon after the install, I began experiencing piercingly loud high-frequency ringing in my ears and noticeable<br />

cognitive impairment. I’ve also become unusually tired whether working at my home office desk, reading, or<br />

doing virtually any activity in this house, regardless of having had enough sleep. At first I thought these three<br />

symptoms were due to increased doses of Warfarin (generic version of Coumadin), a blood thinner I must take<br />

which precisely regulates blood viscosity to support optimum functionality of a mechanical mitral valve<br />

embedded in my heart. But, after Judy clued me in on the many dangers of smart meters and told me of the<br />

symptoms, I put two and two together and deduced the problems are most likely as a result of the smart meter<br />

on my neighbor’s home approximately 25-feet from my living quarters. She has also experienced cognitive<br />

impairment since she moved in. Unfortunately for her and her five-year-old son, the meter is outside the wall<br />

to the living room area. A. P., Los Osos, CA<br />

___________________________________________<br />

I have been disabled by electrosensitivity for about 5 years, but not to RF, just to ELF (power lines, motors, etc<br />

— magnetic fields). But since June of 2010 the area I have been in was thoroughly smart metered, so they have<br />

been all around me but not on the house I spend the most time in because we put up No <strong>Smart</strong> Meter signs.<br />

On one side of our house is a parking lot, and on the other was an abandoned house, which is now almost<br />

completely remodeled, and this is where the electric smart meter was installed, two weeks ago, just 10 feet<br />

away across the driveway, facing our home.<br />

I had some hope that I might be able to “live with” a smart meter — after all, so many people are seemingly<br />

unaffected. However, when I went to move the trash bins (which sit about 10 feet from it), the first thing I<br />

noticed was a headache and stiff neck, and a building up of an awful feeling that included nausea and<br />

dizziness.<br />

As the days went on, I noticed that it was hard to breathe well, like there was a weight on my chest, and<br />

tightness in my chest. I also noticed my heartbeat felt different. There was a feeling of panic, wanting to flee<br />

but nowhere to go. The nausea/dizzy feeling remained low-level, with some disorientation and balance<br />

problems, flu like symptoms. There were pains to the head that came on like strokes of pain from a whip, being<br />

laid deep into my brain.<br />

The smart meter seems to be transmitting two different qualities. One is a widespread field that attacks and<br />
