Title: Final Tally?
Post by Jeepgun on Jul 22^nd, 2004, 8:50am

How many people who just happened to be staying at the hotel, came up, browsed our literature, and said, "Oh my god!! I've had these for years!!"

I know there were at least two. There was a black woman who is actually in the documentary, because the docu-dudes just happened to be there at the registration desk when she walked up, and I know there was another guy named Steve that hung out and drank and talked with us. I've heard that there were three or four, total.

Thank you, Leesa. You did a wonderful job. Each one of those people represents one more person who doesn't have to suffer alone, who has the information so that they may educate their physicians, so that they may find relief from this agony until such time as there is a cure. Thank you for your service. Well done, my friend. [smiley=hug.gif]

The Steve guy was at the bar fixing the air conditioning and just happened to start talking to a few of us at the bar. He started naming CH drugs and how the beast attacks, I knew then he was a true CH'er. Hes in one of the convention pics.

Yeah, he knew all the meds, then his eyes got just a little misty when he said he couldn't believe he was talking to some one who knew what he went through, that's what let me know.

btw I am referring to Steve Warfield.

Yeah, one walked out on the patio and started asking questions and had the right answers also. It was awesome.

But we had a couple of "groupies" come up also. Remember the nurse who "wanted" to have CH so she could get a t-shirt? She was a "strange" bird and for me to say that at a cluster convention -- she was REALLY strange. Right Blue Meanie? We we all ignoring her and HE kept talking to her (encouraging her I think is the word we used!).

But all kidding aside -- if we helped ONE person to know they weren't alone - we done good.

That was really strange.... It can't be just a case... MUST BE DESTINY!

Most of us never met another clusterhead before OUCH and during NashCon... 4 or maybe even 5 appeared!!! WEIRD...
