She developed the unusual condition after being in a violent electric storm while on holiday in Cornwall. She is so affected by the allergy that she cannot wear a battery-driven watch. Her shoes are specially lined so that she does not feel pain when she steps over underground electric cables. Bath Mrs Moody has to wrap up in a survival blanket and wear rubber boots during electric storms to stop the pain from becoming unbearable. I find it difficult to walk on pavements because of the underground cables.
Life is very difficult.
I can feel my sensitivity to electricity. Mrs Moody takes homeopathic de-sensitising drops every day, which costs her up to 190 each month. She has been told by doctors that treatment will only reduce her problems and not cure them. I can't get depressed. I try to stay positive and get through one day at a time.
