James,
I agree that we all need to get with G-W and let them know that we really are spending way too much on their drugs. I've written them several times, but have yet to receive a reply, but that never stopped me before. Maybe they just don't understand what I'm saying yet.
If you get the names of the directors, let me know - I'm not the least bit shy about writing execs. That's where you get the action.
Another thing - and this has already been suggested several time. - Each of us need to join the ACHE and National Headache Foundation and start getting some input in there. They're already organized and have some clout.
Dr. Hurt (my neurosurgeon) got mad as "H---" about the article in Parade and said if I'd send it to him he'd write a letter also. Now I've just got to find it again. If we can get some medical persons involved in our plight, I really think we can get something done. We've got to try.
Hugs BD
