Title: Dr Oz
Post by Braindead on Mar 30^th, 2008, 5:10pm

Ok this may or may not be a good idea for all . Just offering a suggestion. My wife wrote to Oprah via her website that has a link to Dr.Oz Only to potencialy get him to do a show and bring more awarness about CH.

It may be cool if other's did the same, maybe just maybe he would do it?????

This maybe old news to some- but one day I typed Cluster Headaches on Youtube. I found folks posting videos of a CH event. Geez it made my eye's tear just watching what others were doing during an attack, saying the SAME stuff I do. Plus it helped when I sent it to friends that say Oh I get headaches just take an asprin!!! It opened there eyes ( REAL WIDE), I told them I was not looking for sympathy, I may have been 15 years ago but not anymore...................

certianly a good idea. My local news ran a story on headaches the other day. I emailed them, daring them to do a story on CH. my opinion is that it is so rare that no one will do a show/story on it because of ratings. Thats why I titled my email "Suicide Headaches"

Maybe that will get their attention

I knew about the videos on youtube, a woman on a forum Im a member of posted them on there for other members to watch. This was because her husband is a sufferer. This had a posotive impact on the group as they now had a better understanding on what most people think is just a headache. The first time I saw a Cluster attack on telly was on "Casualty" A man went in the Emergency department begging for Morphine, at first they thought he was a drug addict. Then he fell to the floor and started screaming and rocking, this was the first time I had heard them called "suicide headaches"

It would be nice indeed D: I will send it tomorrow (though I wonder if that helps as I am not from the USA).

By the way: "friends that say Oh I get headaches just take an asprin!!! "
It's like the most annoying thing...

Dr. Oz has been buzzed many times from people here. Keep up the emails. Maybe one day they will do a show on CH.
