I do not have a land line anymore, only a cell phone. Last night I called my Mother and was on the phone with her for over an hour. I should have been using my headset but I forgot. After I hung up, I got a bit of a headache and this weird feeling in the side of my head and ringing in my ears! I have heard the stories about radiation from cell phones being bad for you but I didn't know the effects would be so quick! Has anyone ever experienced this before and do you know why this would happen. I think in the future, I will have to keep my conversations on the cell shorter and use the head set!

I'm not really sure. Honestly, I used my cellphone a lot. My friends and I usually talks on the phone via conference call. I never got a headache after long hours of talk. Maybe it depends, I'm not so sure about it. But let's hope it's not because of the radiation.Because if it was, I must now it very well.

Hi there, well it doesnt happened to me before. But i also learned that if your using mobile phone that nearer to you this will give something wrong. I mean the radiation that they are saying thats the negative effect of using it. I guess we should responsible i mean lets help ourselves to taking care because we always used mobile phone and we should know how can we prevent ourself to this radiation (i guess you understand what i am saying hehhe) keep on mylottingthumbup

You know, I have never experienced that before. Of course I don't talek all that much anymore, as I text more, but when I do talk, it isn't long conversations. There have been times befosre, though, that my duaghter and I have talkded maybe 2 hours, but it never affected me in any way. I never got a headache nor did I feel ill or anything like that. I guess I am thankful for that. Take care, and ahpppy mylotting. happy

To be frank, I don't think it's "radiation" at all. You were probably pressing your phone up against your ear pretty hard and if the volume of your headset was pretty loud, it would probably have the same effect as someone yelling into your ear for 1 hour straight. That would give ANYONE a headache and ringing in your ears. xP I seriously think you're overreacting about the whole "radiation" thing.


myLot reputation of 82/100. angemac23 (1763)   ranked 529 out of 6,911 in cell phone  4 months ago

First of all I wasn't over reacting...I was just wondering if anyone had the same experience. Second of all, radiation from cell phones is commonly known now to cause problems particularly in younger people who are still developing. It is common sense that it is not natural to have any device that is known to emit radiation close to any part of your body for long periods of time. Same goes for laptops. They are actually not meant to be placed on your lap for long periods of time. Studies have been done on people who have laptops on thier lap for long periods and the instances of cancer in those areas of the body are high and these are cancers that were not as common before these technologies were invented. My mom and I were in a clothing store about 4 months ago and a teenage girl was in teh lineup ahead of us and they were talking to the cashier about the recent operation she had on her head. She still had the bandage. have her head was missing and she had to have an operation. The cause, as outlined by her doctor....excessive use of a cell phone. Everyday after dinner, she spent an hour talking to her boyfriend and this otherwise healthy girl with no problems in herself or anyone else in her family ended up with a brain tumor after she started using the cell.

Do you have references to reputable medical journals in which these studies have been documented?

I've been using a cell phone for 20 years now & I haven't had any side effects from cell phone at all. I got my cell phone the day after my 18th birthday & now I'm 38 soon to be 39, my birthday is in January. For past 15 years or so, I've been using my phone well over an hour a day on an average & no 3rd arm growing out of my shoulder either. I do get a headache now & then but I know for a fact that it's from bad car accident I was in when I was younger. I might be one of those odd balls but when most people I know do use their cell phones as much as I do & have no health issues directly relating from it, I tend to think cell phone isn't has harmful as some people make it out to be. Most of the people I know are people I've worked with at one point or another. According to my doctor, other than some scar tissues in & around my left ear area, there's nothing that tells him I'm getting a headache from cell phone use.

It is true that not everyone would be affected and it is also true that a few years down the road, you may develop problems or you may already be having some but not showing symptoms. I am not prepared to throw out my cell phone at the moment, but I will stay knowledgeable about the possible dangers and take the necessary precautions to minimize any potential damage that could occur.

There are things we use everyday that exposes us to electro-magnatic field 10 - 100 times worse than cell phone does. If you stand next to a power-line, everytime you turn the light on at home, when you walk by a neon sign, when you're inside a train, everytime you turn a micro-wave oven, when you turn your tv on, when you're talking on your hose phone, corded or cordless, when you're using electric shaver, when you turn your coffee pot on & etc, etc... Anything that plugs in to an electrical outlet or even uses batteries put out certain amounts of electro-magnetic field... And yes, I have seen the thermal imaging pictures of cell phone radiations, actually if I'm not mistaken, cell phone radiation is "non-thermal radiation"... Basically it's an electro-magnatic radiation... Electric cooktops have coils in them, weather it's smooth top or exposed coils... They heat up by passing electric currents through them... If you cook in front of electric cooktop for 10 minutes, the amount of the electro-magnatic radiation that the cooktop puts out is hundreds of times greater than talking on a cell phone for an hour due to wattage & current running throught them... Matter in fact, in European countries, they've been cooking with "induction" cooktops for years now... Induction cooktop is exactly that, cooking with magnets... They pass a current through magnets & in turn it creates electro-magnatic field & heats up metal pan - hence how the "induction cooking" works... Millions of people have been using this type of cooktops & appliances for decades... People who have been exposed to much stronger electro-magnatic radiations such as these appliances have not been affected medically, at least in no medical history... Cell phones put out much, much, much less in hours & hours of use than these appliances put out in a matter of minutes...

I am have not experienced it before but I came across this article from radiationtalk.com that there really are studies that cellphone radiation do cause health problems.

here is an excerpt from the article:

The voluntary exposure of the brain to microwaves from hand-held mobile phones... [is] the largest human biological experiment ever." - Professor Leif Salford, Head of Research at Lund University, Sweden
Exposure to radiation from cell phones is a growing concern, not only in the United States, but around the world. As more and more studies point towards a link between cell phone radiation and headaches, certain types of cancer and even lowered sperm count.

well yes it has happend with me many times.But i guess it is also because of my migraine.And what you heard about the radiations is absolutely right.When i have a migraine and i talk on phone my migraine worsens to the core.i get these strange vibes in my head mostly on temples which goes to the ears as well.Well i think if you experienced this then you better go and consult a doctor because such things should not be taken as something casual.It can worsen the situation as you wil talk more.and prefer using head phones as they keep the vibrations at bay.:) tc

Well, there are times i have spoken for over an hour or so, the highest being 7 hours in cellphone and well it hurts your hands and back after sometime and not to mention your ears.I am not sure whether it is radiation alone or maybe perhaps there are other factors involved.I used the headset whenever my calls are long as it was more convenient and helpful and would suggest the same to you.Besides if your battery is not staying for long, it s a clear indication of high radiation being emitted.Thanks!

I've been thinking of dropping my land line but decided against it just because of what you're talking about! When my sons call, we talk at least a half hour and I don't want to damage my brain with radiation or whatever. However, the headset is a great idea and I'll have to look into one of those.
