Subject: EMF/ES

     Sir
     
     My wife has experienced many 'episodes' over the past 8-12 years of 
     her life (she's 22, turning 23 in August).  These episodes, as her 
     doctor calls them, have a sensation of desa vo (sp).  She feels 
     'tingly' and is somewhat disoriented depending on the intensity of it. 
     She says they have become more frequent and intense over the past few 
     years, but has dismissed them until November of this past year.  I 
     convinced her to see her doctor about them, since they were 
     interrupting her sleep (sometimes, several times during the night).
     
     Recently (back in March of this past year) she's gone through several 
     tests - from injecting dye into her and checking her vesels in her 
     brain, to MRI to a catscan and looking at her heart (and probably 
     others that i do not remember).  All looked fine, but the doctor said 
     the episodes may be 'minor' siezures.  They had said she may be 
     experiencing anzioty attacks and refered her to a psychologist and was 
     put on 2 medications to calm her.  they helped to reduce the episodes, 
     but not significantly, and had side effects, so the doctor took her 
     off them.
     
     Then, yesterday, on the way back from greenville SC (her mom's place) 
     to charleston (where we live), she had a siezure in the car while i 
     was driving.  To say the least, it scared me.  She was taken to the ER 
     and blood work and another catscan and EKG was run.  All fine.  This 
     doctor suggested that she may have a sleeping disorder where her sleep 
     cycles are getting disrupted and may have brought on the siezure.  It 
     lasted only about a minute or so (seemed like a long time), but didn't 
     seem as severe as i've seen on TV.
     
     Today i saw a paper on the web about electrical hypersensitivity.  It 
     sounds 'far out', but the symptoms (some of them) sound like somewhat 
     of a fit, and the fact that health agencies have been known to 
     attribute 'its causation to psychological dysfunction'.
     
     I am interested in looking more into this subject and getting more 
     information.  If you have any suggestions or anything for me, it would 
     be much appreciated.
     
     Thanks
     
     a concerned and loving husband
