Title: O.U.C.H.
Post by Locomotive_Skull on Jun 22^nd, 2003, 7:02pm

I joined this organization a few days ago. Not sure if I jumped the gun, but don't really care. I don't know a whole lot about it, but any org. who is helping with C.H.'s has my support.
I got a few questions, How many of you all reading this are members? How often do you meet? Is California the only place they meet? Should I make donations in the form of dues? What I mean is tell them in advance, like a pledge or something? Is there anything else I can do except donate? I thought about printing out some literature about C.H.'s and getting them to all the local Doc's around here, should I mention O.U.C.H. or this website?

Just curious folks.

You should send $10,000.00 to the president of OUCH as quickly as you can. Small bills, no check.

Loco,
Joining OUCH was an awesome thing for you to do!

OUCH hosts the annual convention, and is in the process of forming chapters around the country to better accomplish some of the missions. Yes definitely print out everything you can from OUCH and take it to the local docs, ER's and fire departments. The fire depts. have been a wonderful ally for people who need O2 and can't get it at home or are travelling.

You are free to donate anything you like. One thing that often happens here are auctions with proceeds going to OUCH.

The convention is July 18, 19, 20 in Alex Bay NY. If you are interested in attending email me :)

OUCH is working to gain allies with the National Headache Foundation, the American Headache Society and will continue to look at other projects that we can tackle to gain awareness and treatment research for CH.
