Topic: Could the building close to me be to blame for why I'm not getting better?

I have been wondering this lately.
There is a building a block and a half from where I live. I am NOT technology-savvy at all, so i don't really know what to call it or how to describe it, but I did a small amount of research online (I am really too tired to do much reading online), and I think what it gives off is known as "radio waves" as opposed to "electrical" waves.
It is called by people in this town, "the AT&T building." It is basically a large building, maybe like 10 stories high, and on top of it are these big things that I guess put out the radio waves, or....whatever you want to call them. If anyone who is technology literate could explain in layman's terms what these are so I don't sound like an idiot, that would be nice. Like I said, I'm too tired to research this stuff.
Anyways, I live in an apartment building on the highest floor in this building, the third floor. My bedroom has a balconey off it, and so I have a big sliding glass door in my bedroom. The AT&T building is about a block and a half from my bedroom, so when I lay in bed, I can just lay there and look at it. It is pretty close.
Basically, I'm tired all day. I have horrendous dark circles under my eyes. I'm sure Lyme and co's are a component of my illness, but sometimes I wonder if that building, or any of the other EMF's around me, could be to blame for why I'm not recovering.
I ask that because I seem to be EMF sensitive. When the chiropractor gave me those suction cups that put electrical stimulation on your muscles to relax them, I was tried for days, and it was directly related to that treatment, and when I told her, she muscle tested me and said yes, I was very sensitive to electricity, and i should not do that treatment anymore.
Also, when I stand around lots of technology, etc, and under fluroscent lighting, i get very agitated. Same with using my cell phone too long.
So, like I said, I know tick-disease is to blame, but could that building or things i'm living around really be halting my recovery?
I recently stayed with my parents for a few weeks, and they are more in the country, and I feel like I slept more soundly.
Is it primarily that the EMF's are preventing me from getting good sleep that would be the issue?
I would like to snap my fingers and move, but moving would be a very big undertaking. Is it worth it?
I could also move to an apartment in the other side of my building, on the opposite side of the AT&T building....should I ask to do that? Would that help?
Thanks for any suggestions. I feel so lost. This problem seems so huge and I just need help tackling it. Are there things I can buy to hang over the wall facing the AT&T building that would block me from this?
Can anyone point me to something specific, because like I said, I am having a hard time researching stuff online because of my fatigue. I am moving at a snail's pace, reading less than one thing a day.
Also, I should note that when I first got really sick, I didn't live here and I had been treating even then with an LLMD, so obviously I know I can live away from the AT&T building, be taking abx, and still not improve. So should I even worry about this?
Thanks!

I think everything contributes in some way to our illness. Dr. K recommends turning off the circuit breakers for the outlets near your bed at night.
I know EMF's interfere with the Bionic 880 treatment I've been doing, but it's on the energetic level, so it makes sense that "energies" would make a difference.
Do you use wireless internet? How many various wireless internets are you exposed to from your neighbors? Do you use your cell phone on speaker? Do you have a cordless phone (they're even worse than cells for emf's)?
There are so many sources of emf's that you might have even closer to that AT&T building.
Does your mom have wireless internet? Cordless phone?
I don't know if moving to another apartment would help with this. I know where I am, I just can't get away from it all.

Thanks for replying, six.
Well, the wall that is right up against my bed is a shared wall, and someone else's bedroom is on the other side of the wall. So I have often wondered if he has a TV against that wall, etc....though I have never heard one, so that is good.
I can look into flipping the breakers at night. I probably should do that.
I just use a normal cell phone....but I'll try to use the speaker feature more.
I try to keep electrical things away from my bed at night, and even during the day, I try not to be too close to the TV, or computer, etc.
But, there is only so much I can do here. I am probably getting hit with at least 6 wifi's here that I could easily pick up on my computer.
OH, here is another issue.....the balconey I mentioned off my bedroom overlooks an alley, and there are telephone poles with wires along the alley, and there is a big grey box that looks very "electrical" that happens to be on a pole that is very close to my balconey, and it's at about the same height as my balconey. So there is another possible source.
So probably the lack of that grey box on the telephone pole outside my bedroom window is the biggest difference at my parents' house....and you can also subtract about 5 wifi's from their place vs. my place, since they only have one wifi.
Yikes!!!!

about four or five years ago there was a late night movie on TV about a small town,
where everything was just fine and the people lived normal lives.
until one day a Telecommunications tower was put up...
in the years to come, people were starting to get mysterious illnesses of all types, and children were born with birth defects.
people of the town started meeting in their local church and complained, there was less of them complaining by the end of the movie since some of them actually passed away...
i totally do not remember the name of the movie, but it was on regular TV real late at night.
and if i am not mistaken it was a true story.
not sure how it is related to your story, but at this point i would make that move...
hope this helps.
best regards, eric

Hoosier, I think Scott F knows a lot about this. Hopefully he will come along. Or Gigi.

maybe try a teslar watch or a QLINK (much cheaper)?
I love my teslar watch.

I don't have the time to read all this. But anyone who has trouble with EMF, real or guessing, should gather info on effect of metal toxicity.
It is very logical that if you have heavy toxic metals inside of you, you start to resonate with the EMF's in your surrounding.
I don't know very many people anymore who are not heavy metal toxic, because most of them are also allergic to the metals. This way all problems become one chain reaction and hardly a way out and away from the problems. You might get yourself tested for these DNA level allergic reactions. No regular blood/allergen test will do. I have brought it up many times here recently. Please look through some of my posts.
Take care.

Hoosier, I would recommend you read some of Gigi's post on EMF and toxic metals.
You could even put many of them in your favorite's on your computer. Then come back to them at a later date.
I too was very EMF sensitive for many years. I'm not any longer (or so little that I don't notice) and it did take me forever as much as 3 yrs to work on many things.
I always work one thing at a time. Examples like elimination of alum deodorant, got rid of teflon pans, removing silver one tooth at a time (there must of been 18), detoxing with chlorella, detoxing, detoxing and still detoxing with this and that.
You will get many ideas from Gigi on this subject. If you feel it's a problem for you....I would wager it is.

Tailz does not come here anymore but there are volumes written about EMFs for anyone wanting to research it.
It might be good to talk with someone at that building. Find out first what the towers are. They may be to receive signals rather than to send out.
While EMFs are a problem, as GiGi mentioned, those with heavy metals are affected more. Check your levels.
And, find out exactly what signals may - or may not - be connected with the building. Usually their towers are elsewhere.
In addition to just talking to someone - an engineer at AT & T, you can go to your city's planning commissioner and see what the building is licensed to be doing in that regard.
Your power company, too, may have a way to measure the EMFs. Then, you might find someone with a very credible organization studying all this for further information.
Until you know specifics, it's hard to be sure.

Doctor's Data Lab is just one place for heavy metal testing. You can find that through Google.

Actually, Keebler, I just sent off the Doctor's Data heavy metals test, and I did use a provoking agent with it. I haven't gotten the results back yet.
In the past, even people muscle testing me for heavy metals have said mine aren't too bad, fortunately. My doctor still wanted to test them though. So we'll see.
But your other suggestions Keebler were really good ones....I will look into some of those ideas, so thank you very much. I just felt overwhelmed and kind of needed people to help me brainstorm.
And thanks to the others for the suggestions too. I am looking into the possibility of heavy metals in myself, but in the mean time, I am also trying to figure out what to do about my physical location/surroundings, and figuring out ways to reduce my exposure to these things.
In about 3 weeks I'll know the results of the metals testing, so I will post back here if anything comes back high.

It is important to feel that we live in a healing environment. I know, apartments are not easy to feel like it's a home for your soul.
I have a book, "Places of the Soul" by an architect (Christopher Day) who says that so much about modern architecture is just bad for us.
There is a wonder photo on the cover of an old adobe, simple home with arched windows and doors. I have that on my book shelf, facing out so see it each day and imagine that I live there.
If there is anyway you can change the location - or some interior design changes so that you feel more at home, I hope you can do that.
Sometimes, just an instinct can be telling you you need to feel closer to the earth. How to do that within practical matters may not be easy but in the meantime, plants and other things can help.
If you can drive and have a car, you might consider moving to a place you simply feel better about - or getting one of the more down to earth books on Feng Shui and seeing what you can do to change the energy where you are.
