(Electric Magnetic Feilds) EMF Sensitivity on the Brain

(Eletctric Magnetic Feilds) EMF is everywhere from cell towers to cell phones, even your computer and wireless routers, basically anything powered by a large amount of electricity. High EMF can have a huge and dangerous impact on the brain especially someone like myself, simply because I have epilepsy. I have really noticed EMF sensitivity at my workplace because there is a lot of computer monitors and electrical equipment for preparing the food.
This is especially bothersome with my VNS (vangus nerve stimulator) when I go to work it feels like I'm constantly using the VNS magnet over and over again. I will say that high EMF sensitivity has never been a factor or problem for me until I had the VNS implant. Even for people without epilepsy  EMF sensitivity can cause a variety of other problems, Headaches, Migraines, Irritability, behavior disorders, Insomnia, ADHD, Alzheimers Parkinson's Stroke, Seizures, Nerve and/or muscle pain Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME),  Multiple Sclerosis, Tumors, cancer, Heart attacks, and cardiac arrhythmias.

Progression of My Leukodystrophy

Since the day of my surgery I have seen things get better for a while, then get worse. A kind of back and forth kind of progression. I have Leukodystrophy, and it's kind of a progessive disease that gets worse with age. Leukodystrophy is a diterieration of the Myelin Sheath or (white matter) in the brain. Myelin is the protective coat over the nerves in the brain, kind of like the plastic protection on an electrical cord. 

People with this disorder experience



  • Balance / equilibriun problems
  • Shaking (ataxia)
  • Seizures
  • Problems with motor abilities (walking running)
  • Probems with itellectual abilities (comprehension, memory, behavior)
  • Sensory problems (seeing hearing etc.)

With my VNS (Vagus Nerve Stimulator) I don't believe that this is a cure for my Leukodystrophy.
I have read from other people that they have had there loved ones have VNS to help control the seizures.

This does not stop the fact that the Myelin Sheath (white matter) in the brain is still in deterieration. So it is not my opinion that VNS will stop or control any of the other simptoms listed above. The reason for this is because I have begone to experience some of the other simptoms of this disease and it will only get worse as I get older.
