I have developed nodules on my thyroid , dizzy spells, difficulty swallowing, and petite seizures, since the smart<br />

meters were put in. I have never in my life had anything like this, and I am so upset. I have always been in good<br />

health. I am looking for some help, on how to save my life.L. M. Pacifica CA<br />

Since the December 4, 2010 installation of PGE <strong>Smart</strong> Meter in my apartment building, I have been a <strong>Smart</strong><br />

Meter refugee. December 30th I fled my apartment with severe symptoms and only the clothes on my back to<br />

Marin General ER. After 3 months, even though I have been with friends (11 moves), I am now homeless. To<br />

date, I have exhausted: the landlord, Legal Aid, Fair Housing, District Attorney, Sacramento, trying to get an<br />

atty, Marin Housing Authority, many, many of my doctors, Jared Huffman/Supervisor’s office, Health Dept.,<br />

Environmental Dept., and still cannot get any help. I have forwarded the recent March CPUC document with<br />

“opt-out option” to my landlord, and she still does not think there is a “problem”on the property. Cannot move<br />

out b/c of symptoms when on property, cannot pay 3 months rent to transition out, and exhausted and<br />

depressed from this battle w/o any disability rights protecting me.<br />

Like many with the symptoms, I am on my last and giving up… exhausted from trying to get help, afraid of my<br />

health, depressed, crying all the time, difficult to work, cannot get the proper sleep…I Don’t know how much<br />

more I can tolerate w/o major support. All I want is my life back. ZEENA QUINN, Marin<br />

This past year I have become electro-sensitive due to the many wireless communication bands in the air. I<br />

cannot even go into coffee shops anymore without getting ‘burned’, a feeling of intense sunburn. This is one of<br />

the many symptoms I now suffer. Recently, my wife has been getting intense headaches for no apparent reason.<br />

I myself have recently suffered symptoms of a heart attack. I had to go through extensive testing that hit hard<br />

financially. We just discovered that the smart meter had been installed here without our permission, which<br />

coincided with our physical problems. We are so upset about this that we are now considering legal options, at<br />

the very least to cover the cost of our medical expenses .KB, San Mateo County<br />

I woke up this morning to a SMUD employee knocking on my door letting me know they were installing smart<br />

meters in the neighborhood he replaced my old meter and went on his way. After he left I noticed my scalp<br />

tingling and it just wouldn’t stop the unit was place on my wall outside my Kitchen I was sitting in the living<br />

room most of the morning. Not only did my scalp tingle but I felt a little dizzy. I left and went on a bike ride<br />

and felt fine as soon as I got back I felt dizzy again and my scalp started tingling again. These were both<br />

abnormal I never feel dizzy and my scalp rarely tingles. I called SMUD and asked them to take the meter off the<br />

guy still has the old equipment and is right down the street I passed by him on my way back from the bike ride<br />

through much resistance they agreed to call him and have him put back in the old meter. Within minutes after<br />

him leaving with the old meter installed again my head stopped tingling and I no longer felt dizzy. This is proof<br />

enough for me there’s something wrong with those things. If there is any way I can help in signing some sort of<br />

petition or something I will. Please let me know this is a complete home invasion where can you go to relax and<br />

feel comfortable if you can’t go home to do that. S.L. Sacramento CA<br />
