I wrote "Diary of an Electrosensitive, Part I" about a year ago, anticipating writing more soon, but I couldn't think of very much upbeat to say. I indicated in Part I that there were certain advantages to my condition. The first is repayment of karmic debts in this life while we can still remember what it is we are paying for. In my twenties, I scoffed at an older lady with environmental sensitivities. Furthermore, I have added, as we all have, to the continued destruction of the Earth's environment. Cash or check?-------
I wrote the below as part of a thank you to Martin Weiss, who submitted a quicklink on mercury toxicity (see: http://www.opednews.com/populum/link.php?id=84617 ). I'm including it here because I would like to highlight the connection between electrosensitivity and mercury toxicity and thus irritability, anxiety and a host of other modern plagues.
I became aware of mercury toxicity, had my levels tested and have taken measures to reduce my mercury load. These have improved my health and mood significantly.
My awareness stemmed from electrosensitivity (ES), a condition in which a person becomes aware of reacting to electromagnetic fields of various kinds. It has been noted among the ES that their symptoms are similar to mercury toxicity and that addressing this improves their condition considerably. Some sensitivity remains, but is typically less than the levels at which the person initially became aware of the problem. (http://www.powerwatch.org.uk has more information on ES.)
For years, I had attacks of unexplainable irritability, which started after intensive military training (the sensitizing event). I blamed myself and avoided social situations in which I could not easily excuse myself and leave. When cellular phone technology arrived in Tokyo, I began having spells of dizziness and headaches and increasingly severe bouts of arrhythmia and memory loss. Awareness of cell phones as a possible cause (thanks to an article in Earth Island Journal by Arthur Firstenberg) and measures to reduce my exposure to them resulted in considerable relief. Realization that my irritability had an organic cause allowed me to be more sociable despite having to take efforts to avoid cell phones, including asking people in my vicinity to refrain from using them. Quite a number do not refrain, but at least we all know what's causing my distress. I have been in situations in which I became gradually unable to participate socially as I normally do, and wondered if I was catching a cold, but after leaving the room felt normal again within 15 minutes. I suspect a hidden antenna or other source of EMF then. In Japan, we sit on the floor, so I have become aware of the position of fluorescent lights on the ceiling below me.
Anyway, what I want to say is that EMF, in particular cell phones and other wireless systems, have the capacity by themselves to provoke irritability, anxiety, forgetfulness, awkwardness and disorientation among other things, perhaps by exacerbating symptoms of mercury toxicity (one possible explanation).
Given the popularity of wireless systems, it makes it even more imperative than before to address mercury toxicity.

Below is an ancient link I saved last year to share at OEN. If it is dead, try googling "Michigan farmer Leo Chick" (you'd be amazed how many lonely girls trust their future to astrology).
Power company victim's story. After a prolonged costly court battle over breach of contract, Michigan farmer Leo Chick died on September 8 of heart disease, which he had found to be caused by excessive levels of radiation from the power lines. A must read by all who feel they've been similarly hurt.
