Thank you for sharing your story. If you want to dig deeper into the "why" I would recommend researching spectrum analyzers and how to use them to characterize electromagnetic interference. Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctynv2klT6Q
You could ask a friend to generate plots for you of the emissions of your laptop, PS2, and the DVD player then figure out if there are specific frequencies that may be causing you problems. If you are feeling brave you could purchase an RF signal generator and a wideband antenna, and generate pure signals at different frequencies and see which ones cause you problems. A regular function generator may be a cheaper method too as I'm inclined to believe any fields that may be affecting you would be under 1MHz. It would also be interesting to investigate whether alternating electric fields or magnetic fields affect you more. |

I know that FCC testing requires both measurement and exposure, so there are many facilities that both sense and generate EM/RF fields. These facilities would quite possibly have access to the kind of things made by eg https://www.gauss-instruments.com/en/, and could produce some really interesting results.
The reason why I've wanted to use pro lab equipment to test this is because I'd be able to hold up the results as scientific proof. That would be awesome, both because it would validate the condition (which is recognized in Germany but not the rest of the world), and also because many of the people who have this are pathologically affected, and seem like they're bonkers as a result. Between '08-12 I was ridiculously paranoid, for example I refused to go to the local shopping center just because I could see cell towers nearby. Unfortunately the most vocal sufferers of this issue are going to have that level of paranoia. Now that I can be a bit more reasonable (because I don't feel like I'm dying :P) that makes it a bit more constructive.
And yeah, I am very curious whether it's the electrical or magnetic field that does more damage.
