I started feeling the same problem when put my laptop on my

ps. my laptop is 2 yr old ACER Aspire 5755G.

I'm getting suspicious about both cell phones and laptops concerning possible health problems.  I would get an muscle ache on my left chest and thought I was having a heart attack, until I noticed the ache went away when I didn't place my cell phone in my shirt pocket anymore.  I have also had bowel problems, and wonder if it's because I wear my cell phone on my hip.  I notice that when I wear my cell phone on my hip I get an ache in that area too, so I've don't wear it there anymore and the ache goes away.  I think it is electromagnetic issue, because I think using a laptop might be giving me bowel issues too.  There is something to the electromagnetic field and wifi thing that affect some of us.

I have the exact same issue. I've now moved most of my work to a home office and always use a pillow under my laptop> Yes, it probably isn't great for the laptop as it's not able to ventilate, but I'd rather have a hotter laptop than my lower stomach (I think right around ovaries, etc.) really really hurt. I thought I was crazy, but I have experienced direct correlation between putting my laptop on my lap and a stomach ache over the last 6 months, when I first started working from home and began doing this. Whether or not there will ever be scientific research into this area (and let's be realistic, there probably won't be due to the potential impact on profits for one of the most powerful industries in the world), I would advise everyone who's experience this to keep laptops off laps. Let's remember when margarine and cigarettes weren't completely known to be unhealthy, etc. As with everything like this, government and health care won't help us - we have to help ourselves.

I am experienceing similar problems a slight burning feeling on my thighs.. I am using my iPad on my lap many hours per day.

I am 74 years old retired I play many games and spend several hours using the iPad. I am Female

I have been using a silver macbook pro less than a year old. I have been watching netflix with mac resting on my stomach and there is now pain in my lower stomach area (female 60's). I now cannot place the laptop on my body anywhere because I feel like I am being "fried." I believe it is the electro-magnetic emissions (microwaves?). I think that in certain sensitive individuals we are more "fine-tuned" to the energies all around us. Are you intuitive, sensitive, empathetic, psychic etc? For those of us who are experiencing this please take care, we are sensitives, finely tuned instruments and our bodies are being bombarded. Someone suggested grounding ourselves with a barefoot walk on the beach or ground. I think that sounds like a good idea.

How about iPads and note 10.1 on lap or stomach. I feel pain in my stomach when I use my iPad for more than 15minutes. Is it the wi-fi connection?

I have the same feeling its almost like having an orgasm, although it is so irritating. Its a butterfly feeling although crazy warmth down my legs, and in the lower part of my tummy. ooooohhhhh, it is so darn weird. what the heck is it?

Hello! I'm experiencing the same problems as you and I was just curious as to if you had gotten it checked out or gotten any answers as to what's going on??

I also get pain, mostly in a specific point mid left thigh when i use my laptop. i started working on my laptop at 8am this morning and i just put a throw pillow under the laptop now at 9:30am and started looking this up because it does concern me. what could be happening if it's not heat, just pain?? my laptop is a lenovo thinkpad T500. when i touch the bottom of the laptop it is definitely warmer in the location that corresponds to the pain in my leg. the worst pain roughly corresponds to an area that is below my left hand when typing.

Disturbance of the immune system by electromagnetic fields—A potentially underlying cause for cellular damage and tissue repair reduction which could lead to disease and impairment

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0928468009000352

A number of papers dealing with the effects of modern, man-made electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on the immune system are summarized in the present review. EMFs disturb immune function through stimulation of various allergic and inflammatory responses, as well as effects on tissue repair processes. Such disturbances increase the risks for various diseases, including cancer. These and the EMF effects on other biological processes (e.g. DNA damage, neurological effects, etc.) are now widely reported to occur at exposure levels significantly below most current national and international safety limits. Obviously, biologically based exposure standards are needed to prevent disruption of normal body processes and potential adverse health effects of chronic exposure.Based on this review, as well as the reviews in the recent Bioinitiative Report [http://www.bioinitiative.org/] [C.F. Blackman, M. Blank, M. Kundi, C. Sage, D.O. Carpenter, Z. Davanipour, D. Gee, L. Hardell, O. Johansson, H. Lai, K.H. Mild, A. Sage, E.L. Sobel, Z. Xu, G. Chen, The Bioinitiative Report—A Rationale for a Biologically-based Public Exposure Standard for Electromagnetic Fields (ELF and RF), 2007)], it must be concluded that the existing public safety limits are inadequate to protect public health, and that new public safety limits, as well as limits on further deployment of untested technologies, are warranted.

Electromagnetic fields stress living cells

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0928468009000066

Electromagnetic fields (EMF), in both ELF (extremely low frequency) and radio frequency (RF) ranges, activate the cellular stress response, a protective mechanism that induces the expression of stress response genes, e.g., HSP70, and increased levels of stress proteins, e.g., hsp70. The 20 different stress protein families are evolutionarily conserved and act as ‘chaperones’ in the cell when they ‘help’ repair and refold damaged proteins and transport them across cell membranes. Induction of the stress response involves activation of DNA, and despite the large difference in energy between ELF and RF, the same cellular pathways respond in both frequency ranges. Specific DNA sequences on the promoter of the HSP70 stress gene are responsive to EMF, and studies with model biochemical systems suggest that EMF could interact directly with electrons in DNA. While low energy EMF interacts with DNA to induce the stress response, increasing EMF energy in the RF range can lead to breaks in DNA strands. It is clear that in order to protect living cells, EMF safety limits must be changed from the current thermal standard, based on energy, to one based on biological responses that occur long before the threshold for thermal changes

Omg, iv had a pain in my legs that is in my thights and runs down into my knees at time those are sharp pains. the pain feel just like I have a phantom computer digging in my thigh. it feels like a pain in the nerves or tendons. and my comp had a lip under it which was for keeping the fans cool.. and it didnt matter what I pit under it to cushion the pain I put under it so not to over heat it either, I slept with that comp literally hand to bible 7 says a week 24.7 Id fall asleep and wake up and start using it... so yeah forget this stupidity. but this went on for at least 3 yrs... now im in soo much pain... anyone ever seek professional help for this either verbal or other?

Great to see that you're paying attention to your body!  I used to have my macbook on my lap all the time, and all I noticed was the heat, until a year ago.  Then I noticed a tingly/movement sensation in my balls.  Since I'm aware of that, whenever I put my macbook on my lap, I'll notice tingly/movement with in minutes.  I don't think it's good, so I mostly my laptop is on my desk now.  Also, when I take a hot shower I don't feel tingly in my balls, but when I use macbook on my lap with huge pillow between, I don't feel any heat, but I do get tinglies.  I'm thinking it's either the bluetooth, electro magnetics.  That gives me an experimental idea!  I could disconnect my bluetooth and see what happens!

I put my laptop directly on my lap...a while back I noticed a red raised rash on both of my thighs.  I went to the Dermatologist & I asked her if the laptop could cause this & she said "Yes".   I didn't put the laptop on my lap for a long time and I just started doing it again...well now I have had a very bad pain on my lower left side it has been there for a month.  I had cut out many foods that I would eat & supplements & waited a week & started introducing them back in my diet well the pain was/is still there.  I went to my Doctor & we think it may be my Gall Bladder, but now reading this I'm thinking it's from the laptop because I did not put it on my lap yesterday or today & the pain is subsiding.  I'm happy to read that it's just not me...I wish it wasn't happening to any of us.  

I have been having many same problems - when I put my laptop on my stomach I feel a little nauseous after awhile, and sometimes a noticable pain. Hard to describe, sometimes like a cramp, but kind of an ache and a "sick" feeling. But it is clearly linked to the laptop. My laptop does get quite hot, but it seems strange that mere temperature could do this.

so glad to hear I'm not alone in this. My bf was telling me it was in my head.  I really hope I can still have kids...
