TV, really.

Me too wansuy.  When everything went digital and my old second hand motel TV screen went fuzzy, I simply didn't watch anymore.  I have the TV converter box and haven't set it up yet.  Probably should for emergencies I guess.

The best device to give up is cordless telephones -- the base station of cordless telephones emit a very strong EMF signal that can really cause havoc while sleeping.

Following that -- if you are using a laptop -- use an external keyboard to keep your body and hands away from the EMF coming from within the laptop.

 

The TV. Husband would freak out, though. I'm in charge of turning it off. Everything else listed above I've never had. People think you cannot keep a job unless you have a cellphone. I and several of my friends have found this not to be true, although it depends on the job somewhat. Some employers actually appreciate that you are focusing on your job instead of personal issues. Even in the delivery business, one friend demonstrated himself more efficient. For this, he needed to know where he could find operational public phones--not an easy task these days, especially in America (he is in Japan). Terminating cell phone service seems to be crucial to many with electrosensitvity. One friend had to quit his job to do that--he had a high-pressure sales job. He found that even when distancing himself from the cell phone by attaching it to an ancient black bakelite corded phone which he carried around to appointments, it still made him sick. I agree with vwarren about the cordless phone. Recently I experienced a severe bout of arrhythmia at a friend's home. I was sitting with my back about one meter from the cordless base station. This was the first time I'd had arrhythmia directly in a high-EMF situation, which was resolved quickly by getting away from it. Up until then my arrhythmia had always been a delayed reaction to heavy, repeated exposures. On the other hand, about ten years ago in Irkutsk (Siberia) I was able to use a cordless phone with no problems. It was an older analog phone, and the Russians have been aware for many decades of what they call "radio-wave sickness" so their systems may be less harmful. DECT is just notorious for causing problems not only to the user, but also to people in neighboring apartments.
