Thanks for your kind words.

I do not wear fitness trackers. That's a very strange issue. I see you outlined wearing it too tight or EM sensitivity, but there's a couple of other things: heat and sweat. Both of these things are known to play unkindly with nerve damage. For example, I get pins and needles when I sit in the sun. I get a burning nerve pain when I sweat from exercise.



Thanks for letting me know. Since the tingling starts within 15 - 30 mins even in cold conditions, I don't think sweat had a role to play (but I will keep this in mind).

The article I attached has highest number of visitors since I published, several people have also asked me the reason for it. Unfortunately, it often gets dismissed as wearing it too tight and I have definitely proven that it's not the case with me.

I'm planning a blind test with an elaborate setup to conclusively prove that heart rate monitor is hurting me and others; perhaps then we could proceed to find why.
