Members explored whether wireless technology contributes to fibromyalgia and chronic pain, with opinions ranging from concerns about long-term cellular radiation effects to skepticism that technology plays any direct role. Several members shared that their conditions appeared suddenly after specific triggers like infections, spider bites, tick exposure, surgeries, or abdominal procedures, describing the onset as feeling like someone flipped a switch overnight. A recurring theme was that while technology itself may not cause these conditions, repetitive hand positions from computer and phone use can worsen existing pain and symptoms, making daily management more challenging.

I think the cell phone radiation, and all of the other stuff that we use, will not show up as problems for many years. Unfortunately, the young people today are using phones and other techy stuff at a very young age. We really don't know what it is doing to us but I am sure that the younger generations are going to suffer from the effects of it in their lifetime. It worries me but what can we do. It's not like we will stop using computers or phones.

There was a TV Show that was HUGE in the UK when I was a kid called 'Tomorrows World' - Back in the mid 1990's some guy came on and said:
"With these new Mobile phones it is not good, if we all end up with them, by the year 2020 we will have a Global populous of people with Mental Health disorders and worse"

The answer here for me is a BIG HUGE YES.
I have searched this TV Show for about 15 years now and it's nowhere. You would think a profound statement like "By the year 2020 everyone's health will be awful" would have been kept somewhere...

Good question!

I agree that meds, trauma, childbirth etc. is what triggers the onset of our search/journey and or causes the symptoms to worsen and cause us to seek treatment etc. I don't mean our current use of this technology causing the problems (per say); but, I wonder if the technology has caused this disease in the first place and takes time/years to develop...then the trauma is the icing on the cake to bring it to the surface. I don't really know ...just something that runs through my mind. @LisaKilborn, I worry about our children's future world as well.
