Title: Maybe....another News Story
Post by Jimmy_B on Jul 14^th, 2004, 5:22pm

In a different post I wrote how I had received the normal "Bulk reply" from a Philly News station, but I was, maybe, a little too quick to write them off...as I just received this:

(begin quote)...Dear Mr. Bassett,
Thanks for your idea and your links. Cluster headaches or "Suicide Headaches" is a great idea. We used to have a
manager here at NBC10 who would get them and he would crawl under his desk and hold onto his head and I felt so sorry
for him. Believe it or not, acupuncture from an M.D, actually helped him, at least for awhile.

I'll keep your name and number on file for the time we can do the story.
Thanks for writing.

Best Wishes,

Cherie Bank
NBC10 Medical Reporter (end quote)

I don't know about the accupuncture thing...but if it comes to fruition...we'll set em straight.

Keeping fingers crossed & thanking Jayne for a wonderful idea.

Jimmy

Hey Jimmy!!

Think they'd want to interview both of us?? I got that same generic response that you got the other day about all the migraine stories. I didn't get another reply like yours though! Let me know!

Carrie :)

Definitely....I'll have my face all shadowed out...like the "Informant" on news stories...so I'm sure they'd want an actual "face" to Clusters.

If it happens or I get anything else on it, I'll let you know.

You may want to send the story that Virginia Lynn did on CH, where she interviewed Luke and I. If you give them the article, 90% of their work is done. Then they'll have the format and all they need to do is plug in the interviews. How could they resist? :)
