Cross your fingers and wish me luck...

Tomorrow, I head to DC for a two day special workshop for the NIH. The purpose of it is to look at current Migraine research funding, the true needs, and how funding can be increased. They invited a couple of dozen researchers, representatives from the National Headache Foundation and the Migraine Research Foundation (since both organizations do some research funding), and me.

Right now, I'm a bit freaked out at representing 37 million American Migraineurs, but I'm sure I'll be fine once I get there and the meeting starts.

When I get back, I'll be writing an article or blog and sharing whatever information I can.

Have a good weekend and week, everyone. If I get a chance, I'll pop in here.

Teri

Let me be the first to wish you luck. Enjoy yourself and share some good info with us.

Good luck! Hope you can check in!

Cheryl

Wish you loads of luck Teri. Sure you will do just fine, but understand must be a bit daunting.
We need you over here in the UK too I fear.
But at least we can share in the feedback.

Good luck,

Hope all is going well.

You will do a terrific job and I don't know anyone else more qualified. That is how progress is made on any problem and I await any new info you may pickup to share with us.

I am EXTREMELY pleased to have you represent this migrainer. I cannot think of anyone who could represent migrainers better. thank you, Teri, for all you do on our behalf. I, for one, sincerely appreciate it.

Good luck, Teri. I'll be thinking of and praying for you. Thanks for your undaunting crusade for migraineurs.

Good luck Teri. You'll be great! They are lucky to have you as a presenter as we are to have you as our advocate.

Best of luck!!

I want to add my encouragement to the others here. I know you will be a fearless advocate for us and I am very eager to hear what you have learned from the gathering!

Teri, I am right down the road in Northern VA. Sending you good thoughts. You do not need to be nervous, you have what others there do not: experience! Did you enjoy our beautiful weather yesterday? Sorry its not so nice today. Cant wait to hear about the findings.
Hugs,
Cindy

GOOD LUCK TERI !!!!

Good Luck, Teri

So glad to have you on our side.

Thanks for all your comments and support. I'm very encouraged after this meeting. So I don't have to type it all over again, you can read my report on the meeting in Migraine Research Funding - An Important Step.

Thanks again!
Teri

Thank you Teri. I was wondering what came about for that meeting. Glad your energy is involved

Thank you so much for your efforts and for the update, Teri! It is so much appreciated.

You're very welcome. I'll keep everyone updated as more information is available. This is the most helpful I've felt about research for a very long time.
