Nerve Pain and Nerve Damage...

“Some side effects of radio frequencies on the body:
  • Tiredness
  • Feeling sick (nauseous, vomit,..)
  • Eating and drinking
  • Skin care (vitiligo, change colours, itching, burning, soreness, peeling...)
  • Hair loss
  • Changes in your blood (leukopenia, anaemia, leukemia,..)
  • Possible long-term side effects (Problems thinking clearly, or managing tasks you previously found easy, Poor memory, Confusion, Personality changes...)
  • Infertility
  • Second cancers
  • Effects on the pituitary gland (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism,...)
  • Second cancers (Radiotherapy can cause cancer,...)
  • Neurophaty – nerve damage (When just the ends of nerves (the "periphery") are affected, this is called peripheral neuropathy. Damaged sensory nerves do not accurately "sense" heat, cold, pressure, pain and body position.   When these nerve endings are damaged, a burning sensation is often experienced.  Damaged motor nerves do not accurately tell muscles to contract and move.  This is sometimes referred to as muscle/nerve damage...The nerve damage from radiation can cause facial drooping, loss of hearing, erectile dysfunction, infertility, and pain as well as mobility issues. It can also cause  'drop foot'...Nerve damage can happen anywhere in the body and the types of problems will come from the nerves that are damaged.)
  • and many more...”
 
Some scientific articles as example...:
  
Nerve Damage....

“Your nervous system is involved in everything your body does, from regulating your breathing to controlling your muscles and sensing heat and cold.

There are three types of nerves, or neurons, in the body:

1. Autonomic nerves. These nerves control the involuntary or partially voluntary activities of your body, including heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature regulation.

2. Motor nerves. These nerves control your movements and actions by passing information from your brain and spinal cord to your muscles.

3. Sensory nerves. These nerves relay information from your skin and muscles back to your spinal cord and brain. The information is then processed to let you feel pain and other sensations.
...
With nerve damage there can be a wide array of symptoms. Which ones you may have depends on the location and type of nerves that are affected. Damage can occur to nerves in your brain and spinal cord. It can also occur in the peripheral nerves, which are located throughout the rest of your body.

Autonomic nerve damage may produce the following symptoms:

· inability to sense chest pain, such as angina or heart attack
· too much sweating (known as hyperhidrosis) or too little sweating (known as anhidrosis)

· lightheadedness

· dry eyes and mouth

· constipation

· bladder dysfunction

· sexual dysfunction

Damage to motor nerves may produce the following symptoms:

· weakness

· muscle atrophy

· twitching, also known as fasciculation

· paralysis

Sensory nerve damage may produce the following symptoms:

· pain

· sensitivity

· numbness

· tingling or prickling

· burning

· problems with positional awareness"

Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease...

 "Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease or CJD is a degenerative neurological disorder (brain disease) that is incurable and invariably fatal. CJD is at times called a human form of mad cow disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy or BSE)... 
....The first symptom of CJD is rapidly progressive dementia, leading to memory loss, personality changes and hallucinations. Other frequently occurring features include anxiety, depression, paranoia, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and psychosis. This is accompanied by physical problems such as speech impairment, jerky movements (myoclonus), balance and coordination dysfunction (ataxia), changes in gait, rigid posture, and seizures. The symptoms of CJD are caused by the progressive death of the brain's nerve cells, which is associated with the build-up of abnormal prion proteins forming amyloids...

...The defective protein can be transmitted by...electrode implants...

"A Doença de Creutzfeldt-Jakob (DCJ) é uma desordem cerebral caracterizada por perda de memória, tremores, desordem na marcha, postura rígida e ataques epilépticos, e paralisia facial que dá a impressão de que a pessoa está sempre sorrindo (contração muscular involuntária) devida a uma rápida perda de células cerebrais causada por uma proteína transmissível chamada príon.

...A DCJ Clássica se apresenta em diversas formas...pela utilização de implantes (enxertos de córnea ou de dura-máter, por exemplo). Neste caso, ocorre uma invasão do corpo do paciente por um príon externo a ele...

...Em 1996 pesquisadores e o governo britânico reconheceram a existência de um novo tipo de CJD... porque atinge pacientes muito mais jovens, normalmente em torno de vinte anos e pela ocorrência, no início da síndrome, de sintomas sensoriais e psiquiátricos..."

"The Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease in Portugal:

"Sintomas motores e psiquiátricos
...foi confirmada por um laboratório português de neuropatologia – em Portugal, só há três laboratórios do género, no Hospital de Santa Maria, em Lisboa, nos Hospitais da Universidade de Coimbra e no hospital de São joão, no Porto. ..Segundo o professor José Pimentel, um dos maiores especialistas portugueses na doença de Creutzfeldt-Jakob, os primeiros sintomas são “dificuldade na marcha por lesão do cerebelo, movimentos involuntários esquisitos (tiques) ou dores específicas em zonas do corpo”. Associados a estes, podem existir também “sintomas psiquiátricos, como depressão sem motivo aparente”. A demência é inevitável, “mas na maioria dos casos surge já numa fase tardia da doença”...
...um grupo internacional de especialistas que se debruça sobre a Creutzfeldt-Jacob e que se reúne periodicamente em vários países."

Translation

"was confirmed by a laboratory of neuropathology Portuguese - Portugal, there are only three laboratories of its kind in the Hospital Santa Maria in Lisbon, in the Coimbra University Hospitals and Hospital São Joao, Porto. .....According to Professor José Pimentel, a leading expert in Portuguese Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, the first symptoms are "in the gait of cerebellar lesion, bizarre involuntary movements (tics) or pain in specific areas of the body." Associated with these, there may also be "psychiatric symptoms, as depression for no apparent reason. "Dementia is inevitable, "but in most cases already appears at a late stage of the disease" ...
... an international group of experts that focuses on the Creutzfeldt-Jacob and which meets periodically in various countries. "
