Has there been any comment or discussion on the additional hazards of so many units in one place? My<br />

bedroom is about 10 feet from the units. Do I have any recourse at all, that you know of, due to these special<br />

circumstances? My next door neighbor, on one side, is already coping with a seizure disorder, I have Lyme<br />

disease and there are health issues on the other side of my unit as well. Are there any attorneys around who are<br />

taking on this issue? (Anon, Sonoma County CA)<br />

___________________________<br />

I have severe Electrical Hypersensitivity (EHS). I also have severe Multiple Chemical Sensitivities. I have been<br />

essentially homeless and searching for housing for 3 years. I was doing ok in my temporary spots in Marin,<br />

where <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Meters</strong> had not yet been installed. I had to move to Berkeley, because I could not find another<br />

temporary place in Marin, and I’ve been here for 4 months. My electrosmog sensitivity has gotten worse here,<br />

and I was finally clued in to the <strong>Smart</strong> Meter issue. There are 2 <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Meters</strong> 10 feet from my current bed (for<br />

this property) and 1 <strong>Smart</strong> Meter 30 feet from my bed (for the property next door<br />

I am trying to move out of the East Bay, because the <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Meters</strong> seem to be most fully installed here…<br />

I’m very frightened, for my housing situation, because it was already so difficult to find safe-enough housing,<br />

with my chemical and electrical sensitivities, but now the <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Meters</strong> make it feel nearly impossible. I went<br />

all the way to Petaluma yesterday, by bus (I don’t own a car), and I found a chemically safe-enough rental, but<br />

that neighborhood already has <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Meters</strong> installed on every house. The houses are much smaller and closer<br />

together, than in Berkeley, so I think the radiation per house is higher there. I was very discouraged to<br />

discover this. (S.B., SF bay area CA)<br />

A woman, who requested to remain anonymous, called today and let me know she was able to have her <strong>Smart</strong><br />

Meter removed. She called the PG&E <strong>Smart</strong> Meter line and told them it was urgent, and insisted they remove<br />

it. She also had a prescription letter from her doctor stating that she should not have a smart meter now or in<br />

the future. PG&E removed it. (Web Admin)<br />

On January 15th PG&E installed the new <strong>Smart</strong> Meter on our home in Aptos.<br />

I was not home at the time and had no idea it was installed.<br />

I arrived home from a great workout at the gym feeling like the peak of health.<br />

As soon as I got back home I started to feel horrible and had no idea why.<br />

The first thing I noticed was the worst pressure in my head and ears ever.<br />

Then my heart started to beat really fast and then my brain felt wired.<br />

Within 15 minutes I started to get really dizzy, nauseous and weak.<br />

Within 20 minutes my whole body began to ache like nothing I had ever experienced before.<br />

When I got on my computer my whole face and hands started to burn and hurt.<br />

My husband arrived home 30 minutes later and asked how I was and I said the worst ever.<br />
