How many timeshave we wished "someone famous" would take up the cause of chronic pain issues including headaches and Migraine disease? Countless times? Countless times! I know some of us have written popular talk show hosts many times, asking them to do a show on our issues, but have had no response.
Today, I'm asking every person who reads this to send one email and send me a copy of it. Just one email. Why? Because several chronic pain groups have gotten together and formed a plan. We believe that if one talk show hosts receives enough emails in a concentrated period of time, it will have a very strong impact. That concentrated period of time was origiannly set for December 9, 10, and 11. Because of the great support and wanting to get even more email sent to Montel, the time period has been extended through the weekend to include December 12 - 14.
The "Montel Wish:"
We feel that Montel and The Montel Williams show may be sympathetic to our cause because of the pain that Montel suffers from Multiple Sclerosis and his because of his recent detainment at the airport.
So, please start to work on your e-mail to Montel now. Emailing Montel is done via a form on his web site, so compose yours in advance in your own email program. That way, you can copy and paste it into the form, then email it to me, too! I'll even give you some help getting started! Here are a few points we'd liked to see addressed on the show. Be sure to include these points in your email:
- The inaccessibility of appropriate pain treatment for chronic pain patients, including those of us with headache disorders and Migraine disease.
- The persecution of physicians who attempt to treat patients in intractable pain.
- Your story how difficult it is living in pain, obtaining relief doing everyday living.
Once you have your email ready:
- Go to http://www.montelshow.com/show/tell.htm.
- On the drop-down menu to choose your subject, please select, "MY STORY."
- In the box where it says, "Please describe your idea here," type in "Montel Wish," then copy and paste in your own email.
- Be sure to fill out the information below the text box so your email will go through.
- Email me a copy at montelwish@ha-support.com. That way, it won't get mixed up in all of my About email, and I'll know right away what it is.
