Excuse me if this seems a little “tongue and cheek”, but the story is actually true.
I would consider myself a reasonably heavy cell phone user coming close to using almost 1,400 minutes per month, which does not even include all of the Verizon to Verizon free cell phone calls, as well as the before and after billing hours calls, which is from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. I receive about 50+ calls a day and make just as many out.
After literally years of this I discovered that the sound of my cell phone ringing would actually cause my stress level to increase. Cleverly, I promptly put my phone on vibrate and kept it that way for a couple of years, thus reducing my level of CRS or (Cellular Ring Stress) as I like to call it.
Each night I would finally take off my phone and power it down around 9:00 PM. However, from the hours of 9:00 PM to midnight, or for that matter any time that I did not have my phone on me; my hip would vibrate as if I had an incoming call. To the point where I would actually check to see if I had my phone on me. Somehow I had truly contracted CPHD, which I have named (Cellular Phone Hip Disorder).
Can this just be happening to me? I don’t think that this is something that you go to the doctor for. I’m sure you’re probably thinking . . . no . . . a psychiatrist. He obviously has ‘phone’ issues.
Keep in mind that I have been an avid user of cell phones from their very inception, of course never to the extent that I am using them now. Are we about to see new medical problems as a result of this technology? I don’t think that there is a cellular medical board that I can speak to. If I had brain cancer from my cellular phone – the popular topic in so many articles, perhaps I would have a case.
I have to keep using my cell phone, so what are my choices. I either have to have put up with CRS or succumb to CPHD. Technically, there must be a class action suit brewing here in the long term, as everyone is moving towards using their cell phones exclusively and leaving their old ‘fixed to the wall and portable home phones’ behind.
So, am I the only one? Is there no one else in the hundreds of millions of cell phone users that is experiencing this problem? What other problems are out there that are just waiting to be noticed by cell phone users?
I am putting together a poll on my website, and I am inviting people to take a quick survey to see if anyone else is experiencing these problems or any other issues. I will get back to everyone who takes the survey and I will let them know about the results. So, take the survey and prove me either completely crazy, or . . . maybe there is some substance to this.
