Title: Any info on TV for CH?
Post by bruce802 on Aug 5^th, 2006, 10:27am

Just a quick question for all; In all my years of dealing with the cluster headaches, I have never seen a documentary, news clip or any information on TV about cluster headaches, and I watch a lot of informative TV. You would think with such a debilitating illness that you would at least see something on TV about cluster headaches.

So my question is; has anyone ever seen anything on TV regarding cluster headaches?

No one gives a shit, we are so few the drug makers wont even research drugs that can help us.....theres no $$$$ in it for them.

We are stuck with Migraine hand me downs....which do work for most of us.

I appeared in a news story a year ago about CHs. Maira
Ansara did a two part CH story. I was intervied as well as a Neuro from Carle Clinic & Hospital,

But that story only appeared locally.. I know that Maira sent it to National (NBC) but apparently they were not interested at the time. I will look into either her doing another story, or maybe even our new network; we went from NBC to ABC last fall.

Peace & Blessings

References to CH on TV are few and far between. They are usually a minor side note to migraine programs. There have been a few headache programs on Discovery channel. one program had Simon Bower (he has a UK CH site) on the program. He was a paitent of Dr. Goadsby (sp?) who does research into CH.

Aki Peterson made a 1/2 hour documentary on CH, starring our own Drummer! Not sure if or where it ever aired. We viewed it at the Vancouver OUCH Convention.
