I am not satisfied with your review of the medical literature as it appears misleading due to omissions. Microwave Syndrome neuropsychiatric effects were reviewed by Pall in 2016, they include:
“sleep disturbance/insomnia, headache, depression/depressive symptoms, fatigue/tiredness, dysesthesia, concentration/attention dysfunction, memory changes, dizziness, irritability, loss of appetite/body weight, restlessness/anxiety, nausea, skin burning/tingling/dermographism and EEG changes”
He states,
“Two U.S. government reports from the 1970s to 1980s provide evidence for many neuropsychiatric effects of non-thermal microwave EMFs, based on occupational exposure studies. 18 more recent epidemiological studies, provide substantial evidence that microwave EMFs from cell/mobile phone base stations, excessive cell/mobile phone usage and from wireless smart meters can each produce similar patterns of neuropsychiatric effects, with several of these studies showing clear dose-response relationships. Lesser evidence from 6 additional studies suggests that short wave, radio station, occupational and digital TV antenna exposures may produce similar neuropsychiatric effects.”

Foster found a mechanism for producing vertigo-like symptoms,
“We conclude that acoustic waves induced in the brain at the “reasonable upper limit” exposures described by Dagro et al. are likely to fall short of thresholds for damaging the brain, although they conceivably could produce unpleasant audiovestibular disturbances and/or auditory responses, depending on the RF pulse duration and repetition rate. (Foster KR, Garrett DC, Ziskin MC. Can the Microwave Auditory Effect Be "Weaponized"?
(Front Public Health. 2021 Dec 23;9:788613.)
Induction of cancer is another effect of microwaves that has come to light. It occurs through inhibition of apoptosis by downregulation of Apoptosis Inducing Factor in mitochondria and by depleting cells of calcium.
“In discussing the literature, it was noted that EMF has been reported to both stimulate and inhibit 45Ca uptake depending on the conditions. Yost and Liburdy (1992) reported that EMF inhibits 45Ca efflux, which is induced by addition of 1-3 µg/ml of ConA, whereas Liburdy et al. (1993) reported that EMF stimulates 45Ca efflux induced by the addition of 1 µg/ml of ConA, which in this study is a suboptimal dose. As discussed by Walleczek and Budinger (1992), in some cells ConA stimulates 45Ca uptake while in other cells ConA has no effect. EMF tends to inhibit 45Ca uptake induced by ConA, but in cells in which ConA alone has no effect, addition of EMF + ConA can stimulate 45Ca uptake”

De Seze found that pulsed microwaves in the range of 5g increased cancer rates in rats by 46%,
“This study showed: i) few behavioural effects from either acute or repeated exposure; ii) an inflammatory effect of acute exposure to HPM; and iii) a surprising increase of lethal cutaneous or subcutaneous tumour incidence of sarcoma or fibrosarcoma type, in the repetitively exposed group (46% versus 8% in the sham-control group). This increased cancer incidence was associated with decreased lifespan in rats exposed to HPM with an average SAR level below the thermal threshold of 4 W kg-1.”

Microwaves heating and penetrating tissue is well known phenomenon. An extrapolation using a linear model shows that 5g cell tower emissions would be expected to penetrate 0.8 cm deep into the tissue. Cell towers emit pulsed microwaves and based on the pulse duration can heat and damage tissue, causing extreme pain. I experienced this personally in April of 2022 when I sustained a left hydrocele following sustained high levels of RF (>0.1 uW/cm2) which is documented in the attached report. Given the medical evidence, your dismissal of the RF readings I provided is premature.
(Goats GC. Microwave diathermy. Br J Sports Med. 1990;24(4):212-218. doi:10.1136/bjsm.24.4.212)
De Seze’s research is important because it used pulsed RF over a long period of time. He found pain avoidance in rats exposed to 5g band RF.
“During an acute SRS exposure, with a choice for rats to stay in an exposed or a shielded compartment (avoidance test), exposed animals spent 3.7% ± 3.5% of time on the exposed side, compared to 21.9% ± 9.1% for the sham group (mean ± SD; p < 0.001) (
S1 Fig and
S2 Table).”
He also found that it caused brain inflammation.
“With SRS, GFAP expression was increased two days after acute exposure in all brain areas (D2 - +112% ± 19%—mean ± SD; p < 0.001) (
Fig 1 and
S3 and
S4 Tables).”
The neurologic phenomena of pain wind-up provides insight showing that small temperature changes of 0.2 degrees celsius combined and pulsed RF below a critical threshold results in pain wind-up which is extremely painful.

In fact, the US Military (DARPA) admits to having weaponized this effect by using 5g microwaves in conjunction with nanotechnology (nanorouters) as an active denial system.

The environment inside my apartment shows strange readings. Shaken residue from metallic door fixtures shows a 270% elevation in shaken EMF and then reads a magnetic field when settled. This appears consistent with nanotech power generation. Patents exist for nanorouters and targeting systems. My problems with microwaves only started after I filed a lawsuit against the Durham Housing Authority and threatened a discrimination lawsuit for misappropriating Section 8 housing money. I also have experienced remote death threats and extensive complex hacking of electronic equipment. It could be that this is a form of covert retaliation to protect corrupt government entities. This is supported by the fact that microwave readings in the apartment are double the permitted FCC guidelines despite there being no Verizon equipment in the apartment, meaning that they could be targeting nanorouters. It is also notable that my symptoms are Wifi dependent and stop if I take a shower, which would remove nanomaterial for a time (assuming airborne dispersal through the apartment).
I have shown that there is sufficient research showing that the current FCC 5g limits are dangerous. Given the danger I expect the FCC to pay for an expert to take readings and investigate the problem.
