EMF sensitivity appears to be a real phenomenon, although the actual mechanism for it is still being studied. Wireless radiation these days--including that from cell phones, cordless phones, wifi, baby monitors, and any number of wireless games, gizmos and appliances--is made up of radiofrequency/microwave radiation (RF/MW) and extremely low frequencies (ELF), and they are pulsed or modulated, which may add another layer of reactivity. Based on what I know and what I have heard from researchers, special stones, magnets, crystals, stick-ons and etc., don't make a bit of difference in actually mitigating the radiation exposure, and may in some situations worsen it. From 1990 to April 2022, the list of studies on ELF and RF/MW effects on neurology numbers 702. Of that number, 574 studies showed neurological effects. That breaks down to 91% of the ELF studies, and 74% of the RF studies. So it's not crazy to think some symptoms may be related to exposure. A number of people have noticed they get headaches, pains, irritations, even nosebleeds when using or exposed to wireless or other EMF, while others report difficulty with memory, mental clarity, focus or maintaining energy (more vague and general, but when you start to see a pattern emerging, you begin to pay attention to it). As for reliable sources, here's where I would go: Environmental Health Trust (ehtrust.org), Electromagnetic Radiation Safety (saferemr.com), Environmental Working Group (ewg.org). These are kept up to date. You can also go to the Facebook page: Safer Cellphone and Wifi Project @safercellphoneproject

Michael, I'm four years late on seeing your post--I apologize--but if you are still dealing with the same problem, I can think of something that might help. First, if your phone is a cell phone or a cordless phone, switch to a corded landline. If your computer works through Wifi, switch to an ethernet connection and move away from any Wifi router. That deals with the wireless aspect. As for other electromagnetic fields coming from the computer (one that is plugged in to the ethernet), years ago an electrician who dealt with EMF mitigation suggested that I get a big long roll of heavy-duty aluminum foil and unroll it from the front top of your desk (where your hands would rest and the computer would sit--then put the computer down onto it), towards the back of the desk, down vertically toward the floor, then along the floor forward towards where your chair would normally be, so that it ends up longer than the length of the bottom of your chair (behind where you sit). Then place a hard surface (rigid plastic) office chair mat (the kind that protects floor and carpeting below) on top of the foil in the area where your chair and your feet would go when you are sitting at your computer. I believe the idea is to direct the EMF from the computer, along the foil, and under your chair to the floor as a "ground." It's important then that your body and chair are fully resting on that protected foil. Also make sure there are no electrical wires or outlets on or right near the foil. That is what I remember his saying. I cannot honestly say that I ever went through with it (though perhaps I should have), but if I were having exaggerated tic problems, I would likely try it. It appears that such plastic chair mats are available through office supply stores. Just make sure it is plastic (no metal), and that it is not studded on the bottom, so it doesn't rip the foil. Continuous foil is important for directing the EMF away. I wish I could give more specifics, but I'm not the expert on this. Just passing it along.
