Those disorders/diseases certainly could cause similar symptoms, but most of the symptoms that are caused by those aren't going to disappear with the power of suggestion, as in being in an electromagnetically dead zone. The symptoms would still be there.
Sort of a similar situation (though there are REAL examples of the following disorder)... I was dating this woman a little over ten years ago who claimed to be hypersensitive to chemicals and such (again, I know this is a REAL thing, but not for all those that claim it). One day we pulled into a parking lot to pull around. There was a liquid on the ground emanating a pungent odor. She asked what it was, though I played dumb and said I didn't know because I was beginning to wonder if what she was "suffering from" was not real. After about ten minutes of driving down the road, and her being completely fine, I "all of a sudden realized" it was antifreeze, and told her such. Almost immediately she became ill, with me having to pull the car over. It was so dramatic it was ridiculous. I think it's the same with these folks, though I think with them it's even more out there due to what they are "suffering from" not being at all shown to have any effect, whatsoever, or even approaching the possibility of having any effect. I think it's just completely in their head.
That doesn't make it any less real to them, and I'm sure the symptoms they suffer are most definitely real, but I think they are brought on by their own brain. Like the placebo effect, but a nocebo effect due to there not really being anything physically there, other than a weak electromagnetic field that has never been shown to have any effect on anyone, much less any other living things. This is, of course, at the levels that are allowed. Multiply them by thousands of times and it almost certainly would affect some animals, and maybe even us.
Of course, next week we'll see on the news where some Swedish research team has discovered it is real. LMAO!

Yikes! Sounds like she was having a serve migraine attack and I know certain smells can make people physically sick. She might have been experiencing a "aura migraine" these can make people feel vertigo and vomiting. As for in their heads who knows, I will definitely have to research this some more. It was actually the first time I have ever heard of this disorder. Thanks for the reply.

Well, with the particular person I was speaking of, I think she was full of it. She was perfectly fine until I said it was antifreeze, then came the show. LOL. It was ridiculous.
Smells surely can make people sick, and some people absolutely are allergic/sensitive to substances that most of us aren't, but this was nothing but an attention getting show with her. I completely believed her at first, but then things just kept not fitting. The antifreeze thing was the final eye opener.
With regard to the people in the doc, I certainly hope they find some type of relief, whether it be psychological, or what they perceive as real. Whatever helps. I wouldn't want to be suffering from this, that's for sure. So much for my laptop. LOL.
