My symptoms, 4 bleeders, miscarriages, & preemies

My Story Continued... Symptoms, Etc.

Among my symptoms to the SyncMaster LCD:

Burning, blurry eyes; also stabbing eye pain (lately, the stabbing in my left eye has been replaced by eye spasms, while my right eye continues to have the stabbing pain. But believe me, both are painful); excruciating migraine headaches; head swimming; nausea (Note that I used to get migraines & tearing eyes as a child in department stores with fluorescent lighting. I also always had Achoo Syndrome and photosensitivity to the sun);

But even worse was:
Bone pain (perhaps bone degradation caused by inflamed nerves?); "vibrating tingling" tooth-ache; pervasive muscle pains; wrist pain; hip pain; gnawingness in my abdomen and lower back as if they were being worn away (I would often wake up the next day drained of energy, with stabbing pain in my abdomen, as well as deep achiness in my limbs); terrible kidney pain; urinary tract infection including urge to urinate & abnormal bleeding (note that the Samsung LCD triggered my bleeding whereas the Hewlett Packard CRT symptoms were agonizing too, albeit not in the same way - i.e. no bleeding); and extreme digestive reactions, as compared to the fact that usually, my digestive state is more, shall I say, "strained". In a nutshell, this all amounts to body degeneration.

Tale of 4 bleeders (Also: miscarriages & preemies)

Aside from bleeding urinary tract infection as mentioned above, the biopsy incision in my breast which had nearly closed up began bleeding again, upon exposure to the strong phosphors of the Hewlett Packard CRT. Furthermore, one of my earlobes was diagnosed with a cyst (nanobacteria??) and it's that very earlobe which heats up upon exposure to computer monitor. Maybe calcified nanobacteria get stirred up to act as nerve triggers upon exposure to emissions? Finally, note that besides:

1. my own bleeding experiences, there's also:
2. in the Black On White book pg. 78, by Granlund-Lind, a Swedish woman testified that upon exposure to computers, she'd get terrible bleeding between periods as well as bacterial infections, vaginitis, hair loss, etc. These symptoms were similar to my own! and:
3. a testimonial, also in the Black On White book, by someone whose throat would bleed (pg. 15), and another testimonial by someone who got nosebleeds (pg. 30). and:
4. the Shetreet lawsuit among my links, wherein it mentioned nosebleeds as part of Shetreet's symptoms.)
5. A Nov. 2006 Times article stated that the 30% increase of premature births over the past 20 years confounds doctors. This, despite publication of the book "Invisible Disease" which relates the many miscarriages correlated to computer exposure! On pg. 11, Ms. Nordstrom cites DeMatteo, Canadian author of "Terminal Shock", who noted clusters of miscarriages, premature births, deformed infants, cataracts & more.
6. Pg. 302 of Robert Becker's book "The Body Electric": "Among twelve pregnant Video Display Terminal workers at the Defense Logistics Agency in Marietta, Georgia, there were seven miscarriages and three cases of congenital defects. Four VDT operators in the Toronto Star's classified-ad dept. gave birth to deformed children, while three co-workers who didn't work with VDTs had normal babies. (Note that Becker also cited that cataracts which develop behind the lens are a good marker of irradiation.)

Anyway, out of desperation, I proceeded with various posts to people online about my "EMF" problems, and I got confirmation from at least one other person that his situation was not improved with an LCD flat-panel either. He was the one who recommended all sorts of EMF-protective devices, explaining in detail why he had found some to have more of a "bang" than others. His style was so lucidly convincing, that even though I'd had no luck with a "protective pendant" I had ordered, I decided to try the $300 machine he recommended. But that machine did nothing to help me so I returned it.

I finally decided to follow up on my hunch - and try my 1980's spare CRT (the Impression3 Plus) which offers intuitive dial-knob controls- unlike the awkward newfangled buttons on both the KDS CRT and the SyncMaster LCD. Sure enough, my hunch proved correct, and my problems became for the most part resolved.

Finally, note that even with this CRT, I have to make sure to avoid an empty stomach, or my body can start acting up. But, y'know, I'm not sure whether too much hydration is good either (i.e. maybe water is conducive to nerve-triggering in the same way that it triggers electric shock? Maybe solid food is better?) To anyone reading this, I suggest you experiment and see if your symptoms worsen with over-hydration or under-hydration or starvation.

Update: After working on the old CRT for a while, I started experiencing health problems as well, even though I didn't at first. It still isn't as bad as with the LCD, and in fact, my metabolism is more settled than with the LCD. The CRT is a 14" Impression3 Plus.

Big Bang:

Sometimes it takes a "Big Bang" to create awareness. For example, when a major accident happens at an intersection, a hue and cry is raised, and voila! A traffic light is installed.

Then there are more personal examples such as mine. For years, I'd needlessly suffered from "laryngitis", involving weeks-duration sore throats, sinus drips and painful coughs. Yet, all that time, a major culprit had been foods containing strong acids such as citric acid, raw onions or garlic (especially if the onion/garlic or garlic-powder is combined with citric-acid or hot water such as with meatballs). Even lemon extract in lemon cake causes problems. But I might never have realized this if I hadn't once desperately gorged on raw garlic hoping to cure my condition, only to find that it worsened with a Big Bang!

My second realization came along with the higher-tech monitors and their ultra-vivid lighting which triggered my symptoms with a big bang. This has caused me to reconsider whether even the older monitors in past jobs, combined with fluorescent environments, might not have contributed toward my fibromyalgia, even though, at the time, I attributed my symptoms solely to "repetitive strain".

Yet more realizations have come, first of all with the discovery of Dr. Brotman's site wherein he claims that LCDs emit strong magnetic fields, contrary to what everyone believes, and yet another realization came with the press release about the flame retardants in computer monitors (see this Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition site)

In a nutshell, various experts focus on different issues, among them: EMFs, chemicals, brightness, size, color, flicker, metal/mercury toxicity, dental work...

Gaba:

During the week that I re-experimented with the Samsung LCD, by adjusting the Color Correction, I had steadily built up to a repeat of my old, ravaging health problems. This time, I decided to try and see if the Source Naturals GABA, which I had in the house as one of my chelation supplements, would help to relieve my various pains, particularly my painful fingerpads and hips which felt like bone pain, but may have been inflamed nerves. So here's what I did:

I took three 750mg tablets (I don't advise anyone to try so much at once!)
Crushed them
Then mixed them into hot (but not scalding) water
And gulped the mix down.

Within the next 1/2 hour I felt hot tingling sensations all over, including up my neck to my brain.

I slept on it, and the next day, I felt that my inflamed nerve endings had calmed. I'm not sure if it was the GABA, or the sleep that did it, but I do know that I felt the tingling, though when I tried GABA again at a later date, it failed to help my migraine. Interestingly, epileptics are helped by GABA. So perhaps photosensitivity, photosensitive epilepsy, and regular epilepsy are "sorta" related? I'm not saying that GABA is all that great, but maybe it does give some slight relief, albeit with rebound pain.
