At Milcon, between Lori Choyce's presentation and Svenn's presentation, we were entertained by ASB's daughter Teresa and the Badger Band.  Everyone enjoyed it - some more than others...LOL
 
Chicken Dance Anyone?

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

The band had us all on our feet and drew hotel staff and guests from all around, smiling and clapping and dancing.
 
But wait, who's the guest conductor?

Of course it wasn't all fun and games.  There was a serious side as well.  Those who wished to do so participated in the Zomig NS study right there at the convention.
 
IMPORTANT:  Anyone who participated in the Zomig NS Trial at the convention and did not get their journals turned in, please send those to Lori Choyce ASAP.
 
Lori Choyce (NECH) announced a new clinical trial coming out around the end of the year, studying Civimide as a preventative.:
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/choyce-winstoncivimide.wmv
 
 
 
Supporters are probably the most important people in ours lives.  Yes we see the doctors once in a while and get this or that med, but our supporters keep us going.  They advocate for us with our doctors, console us when we are feeling down and kick us in the ass when we start letting things get to us.
 
At the beginning of Svenn's presentation, he had us do something we should be doing every day.
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/applaudesupporters.wmv
 
He also challenged us to come up with ways to increase awareness of ch - see CH Contest Thread.
 
Dr. Sewell drove home the point that we must actively advocate for ourselves in order with this little exercise:
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/sewell-prevalenceofch.wmv
 
He showed us that one or two people CAN make a difference:
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/sewell-videohelps.wmv
 
Dr. Sewell kind of stepped in it a little bit when talking about the age of CH onset:
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/sewell-stepsinit.wmv
 
Dr. Sewell praised the creation of C.H.A.T.S.  He stated there was no way he could have gotten a grant to have the software written, but because of the activism by OUCH members, there was a useful tool for collecting data.  It has already been approved for use by the Harvard IRB and should be put into use shortly.  Dr. Sewell made the following statement:
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/sewell-svenn&dan.wmv
 
Way to go guys!
 
Finally, Dr. Sewell announced that because of pilot data provided by Clusterbusters and members of the cluster headache community, he would be submitting grant paperwork for a Kudzu trial this October.

Dr Halpern spoke mainly of the issues involved in getting the psilocybin study going. He also spoke to some of the legal issues, such as seeds:

Dr. Halpern explains that this type of research could be dangerous to a research career.

Glad you all are enjoying a short peek into a convention.  For those who have never attended, you really have to go to Richmond next year.  There's more from this convention, but I'm tired and it's almost time for my nightly visit from you know who.  I can feel him creeping about already.  Will try to finish up tomorrow.

Dr Halpern describes the cost of getting this study through drug development
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/halpern-cost.wmv
 
Dr Halpern explains that the study will likely get no federal money
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/halpern-nofedmoney.wmv
 
Feeling at first meeting with CB.
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/halpern-can'tdothat.wmv
 
Why continue?
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/halpern-2chsuicides.wmv
 
We have a friend? in the DEA & FDA..
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/halpern-friendlydeafda.wmv
 
Basically, Dr. Halpern says there are many legal, political and financial hurdles in the way and it will take more time than we think it should, but there is a possibility that this study could take place and lead to an effective treatment for CH.  While we are waiting, advocacy groups need to keep it in the public eye and keep the focus on the medical aspects of psilocybin/lsd.
 
Dr. Sewell re-interjects a note of hope
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/sewell-halpern-hope.wmv
 
So what should OUCH's position be on psilocybin/lsd?
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/sewell-halpern-ouchposition.w mv
 
 
The underlying theme of all speakers during the convention was advocacy.  We need to educate the public and those doctors who are unfamiliar with CH.  We need to be more active in getting CH in the public eye (so to speak) and in raising money for research.

Thank you, Mike.  Great videos.  
 
Please note, on your second video of the badger band, the tuba player was facing Dr. Sewell, and telling him to take his necktie off.  Dr. Sewell said thanks, but no.   Grin
 
And, you do realize that those of us, who shall remain nameless, who were shown doing the chicken dance, will do very nasty things (castration comes to mind) for showing us them doing something so stupid.   Grin

Saturday, after the last of the presentations, there was our banquet, awards ceremony, entertainment and auction.
 
The first award: The Bob Kipple Award for Service to the Cluster Headache Community:  
 
Dialuppers, I apologize for the size of this (2.45MB).  I cut out a lot of applause and extra stuff to get down this far.

Next came the entertainment and it definitely was entertaining.  In the "game show," contestants Donna, Blake and Helen were blindfolded and had to ask yes or no questions to guess the name, occupation and whether the subjects - Jasmyn & Bob (BlueMeanie) - were episodic or chronic.
 
Helen asked Jas if she was shorter than her.  Donna replied, "No one's shorter than you."  Helen replied...well, watch her reply
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/game-helen-bird.wmv
 
Helen revels in asking a good question...
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/helen-ahah.wmv
 
Donna congratulates Helen on her correct guess resulting in the famous "High Five"  
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/1sthighfive.wmv
 
Blake couldn't wait to ask a question..
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/blake-gotagoodone.wmv
 
The crowd gets involved...
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/highfive.wmv
 
Blake doesn't like being told no...
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/blake-tiredofhim.wmv
 
Donna asks,  "Is this my water?"  uh, Donna...he's blindfolded...
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/isthismywater.wmv
 
The game ended with everyone giving a high five
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/allhighfive.wmv
 
Just gotta do this.  Sorry Donna...

Some of these clips would make great fodder for AFV.  Who knows...if it won, the money goes straight to OUCH! Grin
 
Wouldn't that just be the cat's pajamas?  I loved the one where Blake said he was tired of Blue....I'm still laughing.

Well, this has been a fun trip down memory lane.  I'm going to wrap up with a short montage from the auction (this does not cover all the items auctioned)...

and the Battle for the Shiney...  
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/shineywar.wmv
 
As has been said many times, if you've never met another clusterhead, you just HAVE to and the OUCH Convention is the perfect place to do so.  Please make plans to be in Richmond for the 2007 OUCH Convention.  I look forward to seeing you all there.
 
Oh, yeah...  Hey Donna!  High Five!!!
