Title: Ask Doctor Oz
Post by artonio7 on Nov 8^th, 2007, 10:37pm

Here is a link to the "Ask Doctor Oz Anything" section on Oprah.com

Ask Dr. Oz anything (https://www.oprah.com/plugger/templates/BeOnTheShow.jhtml?action=respond&plugId=242800001)

Ok let's start asking Doctor Oz some serious questions about Headaches and in particular Cluster headaches. Doctor Oz is regularly featured on Oprah... and I'm thinking... perhaps someday soon... if we ask real nice (and often) he just might think that headaches would be a great topic for an episode. They are in the business of ratings... and many many many viewers have one sort of headache or another.

Let's see if we can get him to do a show on Headaches and maybe CH will be included.

Please, if you Ask doctor Oz... let us know here by simply stating that you did.

Here is what I asked Doctor Oz... it has to be no longer than 200 characters long.

I suffer from a rare disease Cluster Headaches. It is known as one of the most painful conditions known to man. It is often undiagnosed of misdiagnosed. Many times people with ch are referred to either a dentist for unnecessary treatment or to an eye ear nose and throat specialist for more unnecessary treatment or surgery. Go to youtube and search cluster headache.

The most tragic aspect of this is that it also effects children in some cases as young as 3 years old.

When will you have an episode devoted to headaches?

with warm regards,
Tony

Here's mine!

I suffer from a rare condition called Cluster Headaches. This is a debilitating condition that gives the sufferer an overwhelming head pain that has been compared with childbirth.
This condition is often misdiagnosed and mistaken for migraines and sinus problems and sufferers often have an uphill battle as people in the medical profession do not know enough about it and there is no specific treatment for it. I have had a bad experience with a doctor which left me in tears and feeling like I was making the pain up.

Please, PLEASE feature this in one of your shows to increase the awareness. For more information, contact OUCH US or OUCH UK - Organisation of Understanding Cluster Headaches.

No sleep for the weary, here...

I've written the show, because Tony asked me to. By the way, he asked YOU to also.

You can do something similar by writing to Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the CNN doctor via:

I did that too, yesterday.

Thanks Ray! Great Idea.
