I would guess that 48 hrs had finished producing the pain segment tonight before we ever heard of it.
It sounds to me like it's going to focus more on new pain meds developed for chronic arthritis. I've
heard about the meds already on other news shows. I don't think all of our e-mails are in vain. If we
compose intelligent and articulate letters about our problem, maybe they'll devote a segment to just
clusterheads.
I am strongly encouraging people to NOT send hate e-mail to 48 hrs for not mentioning CH tonight.
If, however, they do mention CH and are incorrect with the facts, I would let them know politely and offer
more information for a future segment. We may also want to contact 20/20 and 60 minutes. This is a highly
competetive market. If one finds out about a story another is doing, they may try to scoop them.
Have a pain free day.
