In trying to do my part with raising awareness of CH I sent the following to the talk show 'Regis and Kelly' as a topic suggestion.


Quote:

Have you ever heard of Cluster headaches?  I wouldn't be surprised if you hadn't.  I am suggesting this as a topic for your show to help raise awareness of a disease I've suffered from for over 10 years now Cluster Headaches.   There are thousands of us who deal with CH (Cluster Headaches) daily and not enough research is being done and the awareness of this condition is very limited.  Cluster headache, nicknamed "suicide headache", is a neurological disease that involves, as its most prominent feature, an immense degree of pain.  (Imagine if you can someone taking a fire poker or ice pick and digging it around your brain behind you eye.) "Cluster" refers to the tendency of these headaches to occur periodically, with active periods interrupted by spontaneous remissions. The cause of the disease is currently unknown. It affects approximately 0.1% of the population, and men are more commonly affected than women. I am a woman who suffers with this disease and frequently visit a forum at START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or END PRINTPAGE for added support.   There are at this time almost 8000 members from around the globe who go to this site for added support and to get questions answered when first diagnosed.

I am not home to watch the show nor do I Tivo it, but I know there are many out there who do on both counts.  Here's hoping they decide to do a segment on it.

PF Wishes to All!

The lightbulb that clicks may be a show on cooking with ginger and cinnamon.   :)


Would be nice though, good efforts appreciated.

Now if I could only find someone named Cinnamon  ;D

Oh I just went with the "S" sound of your last initial.  Cinnamon sounded more savory than spinach.    ;)

Cinnamon or Spinach - whatever.  I think the "S" stands for special.

Nice work Ginger.  Keep us posted if you hear anything back.  Fingers are crossed.

The more we get it out there the better the chance a "celeb" will come out with it and give us the publicity we need!

Great idea Ginger,hope it works.

Thanks Mikstudie me too!

WTF?  Lindsey Lohan for the love of God  [smiley=sayno.gif]

Lindsey Lohan seems to be old hat and someone called Justin Beeber is the latest and greatest for getting attention. I'd never heard of him until he visited New Zealand for a quick trip a few weeks ago.

Or is someone else the next big thing already?

(As you can tell we don't have kids so we're not up to date with all the teenage fads).

Good job, Ginger.... :)

This may just be the time someone pays attention!
