The mayor of the state of Colarado has declared May 2010 as Electromagnetic Sensitivity Awareness month. For further details in the proclamation click here.

Electromagnetic Sensitivity is a painful chronic illness of hypersensitivities and reactions to electromagnetic radiations for which there is no known cure. The symptoms of EMS include dermal changes, acute numbness and tingling, dermatitis, flushing, headaches, arrhythmia, muscular weakness, tinnitus, malaise, gastric problems, nausea, visual disturbances, severe neurological, respiratory, speech problems and numerous other physiological symptoms.

This illness may be preventable though the reduction or avoidance of electromagnetic radiations in both indoor and outdoor environments and by conducting further scientific research, and that people with EMS need the support of the medical establishment, understanding of family, friends, co-workers, and society as they struggle with their illness and have to adapt to new lifestyles. Many people with ME/CFS will also have EMR sensitivity
