Bizarre or tin foil hat time?

I've never heard of this before. Sounds like she would definitely benefit from a tin foil hat.

it has to be EM fields. Nothing else could possibly cause those conditions!

Interestingly she says the problems occur at home. Unless she is being subjected to substantially larger EM fields than in a normal home I don't see how they can be responsible. I think she's put 2 + 2 together and made 5. More likely there is something (chemical) within her home that she had an allergic reaction to especially after being sensitised with the chemotherapy. I very much doubt that the strength of a neighbours WiFi signal is so strong as to trigger illness.

"Mrs Tunnicliffe has even had to cover her windows with a special metallic material to deflect errant electromagnetic waves."
Of course that will help immensely because as we all know, radio waves are just like light and if you put a radio behind a metal plate so you can't see it - well, it just won't be able to receive a thing, will it?

"whenever she is near electrical devices or items that emit a signal."
Would this include the power cabling throughout her home, I wonder, or isn't that considered an emitter?
It should be, because it is.

"While I was there [Kos] was I was fine, but when I got home I felt ill again almost straightaway."
Hmm. Does Kos have no WiFi system, no mobile or cordless phones, no TVs, no radios?
I didn't think it was that remote from civilisation.

I'm with TallyMan on this one - there is something else going on.

I remember reading a story (WiFi and related scares seem to pop up in batches) about some children and staff at a school who were complaining about the headaches they started getting once a WiFi access point had been installed.
Problem is - it had never even been switched on, let alone configured for use.

This belongs with this............

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_hypersensitivity
"The majority of provocation trials to date have found that self-described sufferers of electromagnetic hypersensitivity are unable to distinguish between exposure to real and fake electromagnetic fields, and it is not recognized as a medical condition by the medical or scientific communities."

Oddly, when I was young (i.e. rather a long time ago), I could detect electricity - with the back of my hand, in particular. I don't think it was anything particularly exceptional - it was mainly down to the fact that devices (in those primitive days) weren't well earthed or shielded. Plus I have very thin skin, I'm quite touch sensitive (as in I find textures very immediate - e.g. I can't hold a glass or cup that has been in a dishwasher, because I can't stand the feel of the film of salt crystals on it), and finally, I have seriously weird skin - I can write on it, with my fingernail, and it comes up in wheals that look like scar tissue - but vanish after about 20 minutes.
