I’ve always tried to avoid talking on a mobile phone for more than 15 minutes or so, because any longer than that and my head starts to ache. This is not a good thing (understatement alert!). My head, on the same side that the phone is attached to my ear, begins to throb like a low-level headache and actually warms up from the heat of the phone. If I move the phone to the other ear, the sensation moves to the other side of my head. For extended conversations, I find myself juggling the phone back and forth, filled with an anxiety about getting off the phone as soon as possible.
Is my brain overly sensitive? What’s going on here? What kind of waves are bombarding my brain? Does this happen to anyone else?
Since I first went wireless about four years ago, I’ve owned three mobile phones — two from Nokia and now, in Japan, a Sanyo. All three phones have affected me in this manner. Any sane man would immediately toss such a device in a deep, deep well.

i agree about throwing that device into a deep, deep well! :-) sometimes i think i might be the only one in seattle without a cell phone (except for tama, of course!), but i love not having one. i hate that warm ear thing, too. it really can’t be good…
