Sorry If I offended anyone..I'm not chronic either
May 20th, 2009 at 11:13am
 
I'm not trying to offend anyone. I'm episodic myself. I meant for the post to be for everyone. And the reason I said "especially chronic/severe," is because they have to deal with it more on a daily basis, and are in more need of relief from suffering.
I didn't say I just wanted input from the chronic, I want input from everyone. But in posts, since you're limited to several words, I was just trying to get more attention drawn to it.
But yes, I do think people who are chronic should be a priority. They deal with it daily, pretty much year around.
Sorry if I didn't explain it well enough, I didn't mean it that way, and no, I'm not chronic, therefore, I'm not putting myself first either. I'm just trying to help people in the most effective way I know how.
Sorry again.
Steve

Steve, it's ok.  Thank you for explaining yourself more clearly.

Thank you for understanding. Now let's get back to the issue at hand, and get this message sent out publicly with a different approach...from the sufferers point-of-view, and not the doctors so much.
With the exception of the "Clusterheads" documentary, everything I've seen (not read) about clusters on the news etc. have been doctors talking about it, and a shot of a sufferer rubbing their temple talking about them.
I've worked both directly and indirectly with the media for 20 years, and one thing I know, paraphrasing the late famous journalist Molly Ivins, is in order to get more attention to a topic, you've got to aim just above the reader,s heads, it makes them think more...

Talk about irony, besides a really bad experience at the neuros, this morning, my horoscope say's...

"Group situations are to be avoided today -- there is too much diversity of purposes."

Talk about suffering, not only are my clusters back, but my back, carpal tunnel surgery, and any action on the arachnoid cyst in the left lumber part of my brain has been postponed for further review...new MRI's etc...
