Title: This week’s E-MAIL TARGET: Jerry Springer

JUST KIDDING!! (But since you are here, why not send off an e-mail?)

Even after 5 doctors (1 Neuro) signed off on my Clusters last cycle, I am still classified as a Migraine Sufferer by my insurance and they limit my meds accordingly (only 6 a month, when I need 31). They refuse to acknowledge that I’m a ClusterHead, I have no category, as a ClusterHead I don’t exist. This pisses me off to no end!! I will make them know that I am a ClusterHead, I will make them know that I exist. Fight the good fight!

There will be 52 Email Targets every year. We are starting out with the media.

The plan is to have all the ClusterHeads and Supporters around the world focus on one Target every week, with a barrage of email. We only want them to know (at this time)… that the “Perfect Pain” exists… we are sowing seeds...Everything else WILL follow.

Once you write a letter to an E-mail Target, you can use that same letter for all the other targets. Write and save your letter in “Word”, then just “copy and paste” into each message box every week.

Tell a small part of your story in a few paragraphs, or just ask them to do a show on us. Who knows what will eventually get through. Send more than one e-mail, it’s free.

For those of you having a hard time getting started here are a few ideas.

Short bio’s of personal hell.
Hassles with Doctors.
Hassles with Insurance.
Hassles with Employers.
Definition of our pain.
How we deal with our families, how our families deal with us.
Remedies we’ve tried, to relieve the pain.
Meds that fuck up your life.
Financial burden of CH.
Internet medical support groups in general.
Any life-threatening misdiagnosis’.
Suicide.

This week’s E-MAIL TARGET is “Prime Time Thursday” and specifically, Diane Sawyer. I’ve met her several times in the past and she was always gracious.

Post back here if you emailed “Prime Time Thursday”, it will encourage others to get on board, and even a one word reply will help to keep this thread alive.

Okey dokey.

By the way, I knew you weren't serious since so far as I know, no one here is an overweight, trans-gendered, child-molesting, Klan member. Hmmm. I'm not sure that would be enough to qualify.

David's right by the way. Make it no more than three or four short paragraphs.

I think targeting is a great idea!
Why don't we start going toward the doctors and medical associations too?
We might get more results from changing the doctors minds rather than the general population.
hmm?

Jerry Springer? WTF?
That's is the most disgusting and degrading show ever put on TV. If that scumbag doesn't clean it up I'm going to stop watching right after the first of the year.

But, I did send a note to Ms. Sawyer.
