List of illness that I am suffering:
Pain in ears and all down jaw. Hearing in right ear almost none. Pain in muscles and joints. Headaches. Dizziness. Vertigo. Loss of concentration. Stress. Depression. Very short tempered, Anger flare-ups. Pains in chest and excessive wind, (this causes me to be short of breath). Disturbed sleep. Constantly being woke at night. Unable to get to sleep. Very tired due to lack of sleep. No energy. Numbness and Tingling in the fingers and constantly dropping things. Lesions (see pictures). I need to empty my bowels about 5-6 times a day as opposed to my usual once per day. Some days I cannot function at all and it is an effort to just go to the toilet. Nausea, High-pitched whistle in ear, Blurred vision (new glasses have not rectified this problem). Results of blood test have shown up small amount of cholesterol and B12 deficient – This is my body not digesting the food and the reason why I am going to the toilet so often. …
Sample sound level readings both dbA and dbC, are included. “If the dBC is higher than dBA then there is a lot of low frequency.”

Turbine related illness
Source: Sheehan, Yvonne
To one and all,
My name is Yvonne Sheehan and I moved to Rock Chapel Co Cork Ireland 3-1/2 years ago. No planning of turbines in sight. Now I have to put up with 11 massive ones and am going through hell. My symptoms are as follows:
Headaches all the time, whooshing sound and pain in my ears and all down my jaw, nausea, dizziness, vertigo, tingling of the fingers, pain in muscles and joints, loss of concentration, tiredness due to lack of sleep, short tempered, depressed, constantly bumping into things (part of the dizziness), dropping things, burping. Blurred vision (new glasses have not solved the problem). My grandson who lives with me is suffering also — he now has a whooshing in the ears, blurred eye sight and lack of concentration. I have tried just about everyone I can think of and am now monitoring the noise myself as the council say there is no limit to the amount of noise they can make and low frequency noise my life is unbearable and my peace and quiet shattered. Does anyone out there know of a doctor who is willing to listen and to take action for and on my behalf I am desperate.
Many thanks for reading my story.
Yvonne Sheehan

KLADEA documents on wind turbine impacts

Wind Energy is not free, clean and green energy, as we have been led to believe.
The minimal electricity contribution from wind turbines comes at a huge cost not just in financial terms, but also in terms of the immeasurable irreversible damage this industry does to:
- People’s Health and Quality of Life (see all reports)
- Wildlife (see Ireland and UK report)
- Our environment (see all reports)
- Property prices (see all reports)
- Tourism (see Germany report)
From our extensive research conducted over the past 14 months, we have selected the attached reports describing the devastating effects of turbines in 4 different countries. The stories make for alarming reading.
