That IS interesting Justin!
Poor bastard. I'm not a big NBA fan but for whatever reason I've kind of followed him since his college days @ Illinois.
Hope he finds his way here.

That would be great if we can get him into OUCH. At the bottom of the article it said that the team raised money for Charities, do you think they would be willing to raise money for cluster headaches since one of their own has it?
Cootie - I would think that you would be able to contact the PR person for the Team. That would get you pointed int he right direction.

Now that I think of it... Remember the last super bowl Shannon Sharpe was in?
He got nailed with them too...
They didn't specifically say clusters, but he's pretty tough, I'd bet he could play with any headache but a cluster.

An update to get in contact with Mr. Gill....
I just got off the phone with the head office at the United Center in Chicago.....
We need to draft a letter and address it to:
Kendal Gill
C/O Chicago Bulls
United Center
1901 West Madison Street
Chicago, IL 60612
This letter will be presented to Mr. Gill and it will be up to him as to whether he will respond, get involved, etc.
Peace,
_dan

Mar. 27 Kendall Gill missed Friday's game due to a migraine headache, according to the AP.
Mar. 10 Kendall Gill was unable to play Tuesday due to his scratched cornea, according to the AP

So here's the deal, if we can't get him, then one of us has to become famous so we can promote the cause! Who's up for it? hehe
Thanks for sharing that article, Justin!! Just goes to show that no human can escape the bad crap in life too.
Take care!

He may already be here. Who knows! Not everyone post and maybe he don't want us to know who he is.
If he isn't we should help him send him a T-Shirt and a hug. He is in pain famous or not he needs to know he isn't alone.

Quote:Gill won't quit: To help soothe his throbbing head, Kendall Gill sat at his locker before the game listening to soft music on his headphones and reading a magazine titled, "The Navy SEAL Workout."
Gill said he has been plagued by headaches since he was scratched in the eye at Philadelphia on March 6. He missed a game against Milwaukee on Friday with a headache.
"I've had cluster headaches ever since I was a kid," he said. "When I got the eye injury in Philly, it just started off, because I hadn't had one in like five years."
Gill, 35, wouldn't reveal specific plans for next season, but retirement is not on his agenda. Chances are, he won't be offered a chance to return to the Bulls.
"I won't retire," Gill said. "I still have a lot left in the tank. I haven't done what I wanted to do. I still haven't won yet. That's the name of the game. I want to go out on top." |

Wow! Thanks Justin. It would be great if we could get him on board. Doesn't look like he's heard of/tried O2.

I emailed the writer of the story and told him that we could help him. I said there are other meds out there that are not steroids that could help him. I gave him the link to this web site and said we are willing to help him teach his doctor about this malady. I asked him to forward the email to him.

That's weird...
I'm signed up at ouch. I got a name/password box and got in, but when I tried to post it wanted me to login, and I don't have a username, or I forgot it, or????
Do you have to sign up twice or what? I thought I was all signed up...

Thanks for the post and this is a nice idea. We need to get him a T-Shirt ASAP. It would be nice if we can get him here too. Elaine may be right about him having been here of course. We have to remember that a lot of people say they don't have time for this kind of thing. Sports figures like him, rightly or wrongly, may feel this way. Most doctors say the same thing about the internet and with their schedules, they have a point.
Letters to him should be two short paragraphs. Three at the very most. Trust me.
This kind of spokesman would be invaluable.
