drains you, and the other is the head pain that comes in sporadic waves and builds up along with a stiff neck<br />

and contributes to the draining effect. The pain I believe is from the pulses, which are completely<br />

unpredictable and can come several times a minute or there might be 20 minutes with none. The general field<br />

has a distinct character of its own, a very NASTY and aggressive character, that creates a sensation so bad that<br />

the effect over time is as if there are microscopic teeth constantly gnawing away at you. It is as if, at the most<br />

minute level, the cells of your body are being attacked. You become exhausted — you feel like you are under<br />

constant siege. The best description I could think of is that when you get away from it and are able to catch<br />

your breath and assess how you feel, it is like you have been taking a constant beating at the cellular level. You<br />

feel debilitated.<br />

I have a piece of very effective shielding cloth and that is really the only thing that made it possible for me to be<br />

in the house at all. I have one square-meter of this, which I folded over into a triangle and wore as a headwrap.<br />

I contemplate getting enough of this shielding fabric to make a burka and/or drape over a small tent for<br />

a refuge.<br />

So I wanted to try to describe what it is like, the “smart meter air”: the air is filled with a kind of jangling, a<br />

very, very fine but nasty kind of shredding, grinding dissonance.<br />

A year ago I developed trigeminal neurolgia along with dizziness and weakness. Now I have peripheral<br />

neuropathy which includes burning, tingling and numbness. After reading the article in the LA Times about<br />

<strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Meters</strong> I called SCE to find out when they installed them here. They said May of 2010, a year ago, which<br />

coincides with my neuropathy. There are 8 condo’s utilities up against my bedroom wall. There are 8 more in<br />

the building close to my only other outside wall. I live in 500 sq. ft. There is no place to get away from being<br />

zapped. Please help. A.F. Orange County<br />

About a month after PG&E installed the smartmeters, my husband and I both started getting headaches,<br />

some so severe that sometimes I was getting blurred vision. We both had very loud piercing sounds in our<br />

ears. Finally my husband said it sounds like a telephone poll or something buzzing outside all night long.<br />

Last Easter, my sister offered to let us stay with her at the Horse Ranch for 2 weeks. First day the headaches<br />

went away, and that loud piercing sound in our ears went away overnight. Our sleep went back to normal. The<br />

entire time there, we both felt so refreshed from 3 months of agony.<br />

Not less than 2 days after we came back, it all started up again. Now I was nervous and my heart also started<br />

racing all of a sudden at times. From what all heard, it almost resembled an anxiety attack! Just that weekend<br />

at the PG&E office was people gathered about the smartmeters. I was curious and decided to listen in.<br />

Well, I was shocked! I just remembered that our smartmeters had been in for 4 months, and two of them were<br />

outside our bedroom wall. We immediately decided to switch the bedroom with the living room. In fact,<br />

sometimes if my husband leaves the bedroom door open, the whole house becomes infected with that piercing<br />

hiss and a pain at the back of your head. We looked for another apartment without a smartmeter, and found<br />

one in Santa Cruz. Since then, the only small hiss I heard of the marvelous ocean waves instead of that nagging<br />

piercing sounds. How on this precious earth can something so monsterous be allowed to continue??????<br />
