Smart meters are mandated for everyone in Pennsylvania. There are no exceptions. Lexi was among the first to learn how unjust this mandate is. She is a veterinary radiologist, wife and mother who developed severe headaches, insomnia, muscle and abdominal pain, memory loss, cognition impairment, mood alterations, cardiac arrhythmia and severely impaired ability to function after a smart meter was placed on her home. All symptoms began when the meter was placed on her home (two separate occasions) and all symptoms resolved when the meter was removed (two separate occasions). Her symptoms were so severe she needed to sleep outside at times because she could not tolerate sleeping in her house. Her family has spent more than $50,000 on remediation.

Jessica a mother of two boys developed insomnia, headaches, chest pain and palpitations, extremely severe tinnitus and other symptoms when a smart meter was installed on her house. When the meter was removed, these problems got better. Now her electric company wants to re-install the meter though her doctor has recommended against that. Her children also developed some of these problems.
Patty, a nurse, loved her work and was devoted to her patients at the county nursing home. She became disabled after smart meters and cellular antennas were installed near her house. Insomnia, severe fatigue, difficulty thinking and using a computer prevent her from working at the county home. She still tries to help her friends when they need her. She does not yet have a smart meter but all her neighbors around her do. Her utility told her that despite two doctors letters documenting how harmful the meter will be to her health, that she must accept a meter in 30 days or have her power turned off.
Donna developed severe insomnia, fatigue, chest pain and palpitations, tinnitus, difficulty thinking and functioning when smart meters were installed in her apartment in California. She could no longer work. A friend took her out into the countryside, and she recovered. She moved back to Pennsylvania and was able to open a business and work. Her electric company would not accommodate her disability and she was forced to accept a smart meter or have her power turned off. She chose to live without electricity. She and her family learned to live off grid and use non-electric gas appliances.
Angel was a very active mother who hiked Mt Katahdin by herself. Her life was changed completely within 48 hours of a smart meter being installed on her neighbor’s home. She developed headaches, tinnitus, chest palpitations and anxiety. She became so disabled that she could not even go to the grocery store by herself. She and her family, including their school age son, were forced to move to a state that does not mandate smart meters. This was very difficult because they had to leave their close-knit extended family so she could recover. She is now able to live a full life. She is able to shop, go out to eat, and can travel again.
Liza's mild disability suddenly escalated into severe disability when a smart meter was installed on her neighbor's home. She developed severe headaches, nausea, tinnitus, chest pain and heart palpitations. She began vomiting blood when she attempted to sleep in her house and was forced to sleep in this tent or her car for weeks until a friend gave her a new, more durable tent that she lived in for the following 8 months She has had substandard housing for the past 5 years, including over 12 months of that time in a tent, including in freezing weather. Several of her 5 dogs were injured and 3 died. She now lives in a trailer in her backyard.
Helen is a rural PA Business owner who experienced immediate severe, debilitating cardiac and neurological symptoms after an RF Mesh Networked PPL smart meter installation in 2019. Her problems resolved when the meter was moved 250 feet away from the house and down a 20-foot embankment at the back of the property. An initial attempt to move the meter 75 feet away did not help her. The total cost was about $20,000 not including line filters and remediation work in the home.
Grace and her husband developed severe headaches, nausea, tinnitus, and other symptoms after an RF Mesh networked wireless utility meter was installed on their property near a swing her husband sat on every day. Both needed cataract surgery shortly after the meter was installed, surprising the doctor because he previously told them they would not need cataract surgery for “years”. Her husband was found to have cancer through his body, and he succumbed to his cancer quickly. Grace, as a new widow, begged her children to allow her to live without electricity because her symptoms were so severe. Her dogs were also sick. The utility refused to move the meter.
Susan, who has multiple sclerosis and Mike, who has stage 4 colon cancer have a son McKenzie who has autism and other disabilities. A wireless “smart” meter was installed on his home without the family’s consent or knowledge in March 2017, while they were away in Florida. When the family arrived back in PA, McKenzie would not enter their home all day. His mom and dad had to drag him into the house. He had a few seizures in the next couple of days. However, on day three, he had 115 seizures and was hospitalized as this was status epilepticus. This continued in the hospital the next day and he had 109 seizures before they got them under control. The installation of the smart meter started a serious decline in his neurological health.
Dr. Theresa, a physical therapist, wife and mother of 5 experienced immediate severe headaches, severe chest pain, near syncope, muscle fatigue and debilitation after smart meters were installed in her neighborhood. Her symptoms were so severe she was forced to move out of her home for 2 months leaving her children and husband to live in a home that was remediated and did not have a smart meter. Her family has spent over $40,000 on moving and shielding the meter and home and filtering the electricity. She is no longer able to work or vacation with her family, and is mostly confined to her home. More remediation to the home is needed. She is now at risk of sudden death from cardiac arrhythmia. The utility continues to refuse to accommodate her disability despite many doctors’ letters documenting the need for an analog utility meter.

Leeann was healthy until a smart meter was installed on her home. Immediately. Afterwards she developed chest palpitations, nosebleeds, severe headaches, insomnia, and other serious symptoms. These continued until she spent $6,000 to remediate her house, which lessened but did not eliminate the symptoms. She now gets severe headaches when she is near someone on a cell phone, especially in a car, or if she is near a smart meter.

Carol, a former township official, developed constant ringing in her ears, eye problems, heart palpitations, sleeplessness, and headaches after the installation of a smart meter. She can't travel because she cannot stay in a building with WiFi, or near smart meters. She writes, "It is very frustrating and disheartening that I have had my daily life invaded with the fourth largest pollutant being Microwave Radiation. causing me harm. I am subjected to pulse modulated radiation caused by the Smart Meter, that I am forced to have on my home if I want electricity. I should have the right to opt out from having a smart meter on my home."
Rachel is a military veteran who developed a multiple chemical sensitivity as a result of her exposure to burn pits during her military service. Rachel has learned that people with extreme sensitivities to chemicals often have very adverse reactions to electromagnetic radiation. She was forced to sleep in her car the first few days when a smart meter went on her house, while she and her husband developed a plan to keep her safe in the house.
Milena wrote to us "Mold exposure damaged my nervous system. Now, using a cell phone or a computer is physically painful. I have trouble breathing and the anxiety is so bad that I struggle with suicidal thoughts. I can turn my cell phone off and put it in another room. I can turn my computer off and walk away. But I can’t turn off the smart meter and the added RF exposure affects my sleep and mental health. We are surrounded by EMFs in this world today. For me and people like me, it’s a struggle to get through the day. We just want a chance to have a healthy life without technology making it feel like an uphill battle we can never win."
Susan leaves her house only for a hairdresser appointment once a month, for an early morning Monday appointment when no one else is there (and no cellphones). Her husband must do all the shopping. She, like many, can no longer see a doctor at a physician’s office due to being exposed to wireless technology. *pseudonym
Rebekah was diagnosed with electromagnetic sensitivity by an MD in SW Pennsylvania. When she is exposed to wireless microwave radiation, she experiences severe, neuropathic facial pain, neck pain and fatigue. She has made strict modifications in her life to avoid exposure.
Mark's daughter had seizures when exposed to wireless microwave radiation emitted by a “smart” meter that was attached to the outside of her bedroom wall. When the “smart” meter was removed, the seizures stopped.
Helen moved to south eastern PA and built a special house to live in where she would be safe from wireless exposures. She is limited in what she can do and must be very careful about being outside for long periods of time. She spends much of her time at home.
The smart meters are horrible! They make my migraines unbearable. My heart rhythm has been messed up. I now need to wear a heart monitor and have unbearable ringing in ears. My panic attacks are horrid. My kids and pets are suffering. Please give us an opt out in PA. It would save lives!
Ginger, 65, a mother and grandmother said her smart meter caused “ringing in my ears and made my life so much different and harder. The impact it has had on my life is tremendous and it would be so appreciated if you could help us there needs to be an opt out.”
I need to keep my analog meter. I have a letter letter from my medical doctor advising that I not be exposed to Smart Meter EMFs, due to my clinical condition. My utility has been refusing to do this and I have a PUC case.
I have a condition which was diagnosed as Supra Ventricular Tachycardia (SVT). It started after the PECO gas smart meter was installed illegally on my home. I experienced a bad flare up of this heart arrhythmia. After I got them to take it off, it subsided. For me this is proof.
My water company has been contacting me about installing a smart water meter in my home. I have been having health issues since the forced electric smart meter and I've told them in writing I do not want it.
