Lighting may cause headaches...

In 2000 I was struck from the ground up by lightning... it knocked me out for a few seconds. I came to and my arm was jerking uncontrollably for about 5 minutes and now when a storm gets close my forearm gets very... vascular I guess you would say.. like a map with red roads on it. There is still a spot on my wrist that is totally numb from the strike. I never got headaches from lightning tho.

Wow. That's quite an experience. It's hard to say you are lucky after being struck by lightning. But I'm glad it was not any worse.

The article says EM waves may be the causal factor. I've noticed that since the rise in wireless communications I've started to get headaches. I never used to get them at all. Now with cell towers nearby, cordless phones, and those so-called smart meters that pulse out microwaves every 15 seconds, I'm lucky to avoid headaches for a month. I've had other weird symptoms too, since the smart-meters went in. We're all living in a microwave radiation soup. They snuck the smart meter into my basement on the pretense that the old meter needed routine calibration maintenance and didn't tell me. I only found out when the gas guy showed up after about 5 months of not coming by to check on it. Meanwhile within two weeks of it going in I had started to get these weird sleep disturbances. It's hard to attribute them to being psychosomatic when I didn't even know at the time the meter had an EM transmitter. The frustrating thing is that doing the objective testing to gather sufficient evidence is not so simple. There could also be some other coincidental cause. But I still don't like that they put that transmitter inside my house without being honest about it.

ooohhh .... um .... no ... but I did run across this little bit .... ( language warning! )

when i first heard about him...on this forum...i jumped on it because i am fascinated with the possbile connection between em fields and paranormal activities ( even if it is just psychological) but i have to say some of his explaniations about the phenomena did seem a little forced and i say that not just because his conclusion was that it was all about hallucinations and em sensivity and other allergens but he also fully embraces the hutchinson effect which also seems to be a forced phenomena...ok. hoax, i didn't know of this video and didn't know that he was one of those fake credentials guy, so that certainly wouldn't help him, but having said that, as funny as this video it really didn't do anything to add or take away from his work, except we know he has a whiny little girlish voice voice, has VERY colorful language ( he could yo mama with the best of them) and doesn't forgive and forget easily. but i have to wonder if he was advised the phone call was being taped, the disclaimer by the host here was self serving to say the least

I wish more people were concerned about this. I find it hard to believe EMF at non-thermal levels has absolutely no effect on us.
I think this is a repeat. But take it as food for thought. I have a very bad lumbar spine following numerous major surgeries, and so seek out pain management doctors from time to time. One treatment option is some kind of nerve ablation, which is just another way of saying sensory nerves are destroyed to block pain. This is sometimes done by maneuvering a microwave probe near target nerves and simply cooking the tissue. I was offered this and voiced concern. The doctor offered another option which I found scary in another way. Seems it is possible to turn down the power and subject the nerve to pulsed microwave radiation at lower levels in such a way that no tissue is physically destroyed, but pain is suppressed by changes in the way nerve impulses are conducted. Effects last for at least some months.
Just a tidbit for anyone frequently subjected to non-ionizing radiation. In other words--all of us.

Wow ... low power pulsed microwave radiation is exactly what those stupid smart meters use. I've got a theory I'd love to have someone with some basic 3D graphics animation skills to put together so that maybe it will inspire someone to get some equipment and test to see if it actually happens. Basically it theorizes that although the random pulsed transmissions in a neighborhood are supposedly random, and therefore the peak radiation as reported by a single meter is probably what is being used as the baseline for the overall EM field in a neighborhood. The thing is, to my knowledge individual transmitters aren't configured to always fire between the others in the neighborhood.
So what I think is going on is that over time these 15 second intervals on all these separate meters eventually find themselves pulsing in unison for several pulses, multiplying the amplitude by a significant factor. You might be able to visualize a sort of analogy if you've ever watched those orange pulsing caution lights on top of barricades in a road construction zone. At first glance they just look like a bunch of random flashing caution lights. But if you watch them for some length of time, eventually you'll notice that groups will flash in unison, and at some point almost all of them will seem to flash in unison for a few cycles. This happens because no timer is perfect and eventually the small differences in their intervals causes the "on" cycle to shift slowly until it nearly matches another one in the group for a few cycles. After a while they'll all line up for a few cycles.
So perhaps a single pulse may be well below the "safe limits", but what about when several hundred of these things cycle into a common phase? Since these things have gone into my house and my neighborhood I've had some really bizarre sleep disruptions as if I'm being hit with some kind of pulse. I've been trying to find information on the symptoms and haven't found anything. There was one site that suggested it was some kind of "spiritual awakening", but then I ran across some articles on people who claim to have some sort of EM hypersensitivity. It's a contentious topic, but I'm thinking that if this pulse synchronization theory has substance, the average person may not need to be quite so "hypersensitive" to the pulse.

From what little I can tell, pulse width and frequency of the microwave signal are major factors. The microwave pain alleviation procedure was explained to me as a way of altering the chemistry of the nerve in such as way that higher frequency nerve pulses are suppressed. For anyone who fiddles with electronics, this is the rough equivalent of placing a kind of low pass filter on the nerve(s). I just have to wonder what implications this might have for the nerve tissue between our ears !
Turns out one of these gizmos sits just outside of our bedroom.
