A letter from Linda Howell,

Family Services Team Chairperson

Family Services is now up and running and we hope that this part of OUCH-US can help individual family’s sort through the problems that arise due to someone in the family suffering from Cluster headaches. This site is for supporters as well as sufferers because as we have learned …..this condition affects every aspect of our lives and every person in it.

.

Let me introduce the team.

.

My name is Linda Howell and I am a chronic sufferer for 18 years.

.

Cathi is a supporter with several years of caring. She has a calming influence, a ready ear for venting, and has done her homework where CH is concerned.

.

Jackie is a long time supporter also. Her words of wisdom around these parts are legendary and I have the utmost respect and thankfulness that she decided to join this team.

.

Svenn is a longtime member of CH.com, as well as OUCH. Retired, he spends many of his hours on CH.com, sharing his expertise and support.  He is currently working with doctors in Norway to effectively control CH, he brings a long history of experiences to this table. Svenn is a gentle, caring soul, who is always ready to offer an ear, a shoulder or a kick in the seat.. whatever is appropriate at the time.

.

We welcome suggestions as to how we can be of help. There is a dedicated chat room (link to the left). Please feel free to e-mail us with a question and we will do our very best to help you. It may be to provide links to help your specific problem or research data that you may not be able to find, or if you need, we can call you personally if that is your wish and talk to you one on one. 

.

You are not alone in this fight and never will be again.

.

Linda Howell

Family Services Team Chairperson
