I do find it somewhat whimsical that the most dangerous cities in the US also have the tightest gun control.  Cities with the lowest gun crime have the highest number of guns per person. 

Statistics aside, I'll be at the conference again this year!! :)  Looking forward to seeing all my friends again. :)

bb,

You can always ride the elevator up the Sears Tower and look at the gap in the floors (elevator vs tower) when you get to the top! ;D ;D That is pretty exciting if you are afraid of heights!  ::) Presuming said tower is still there and open to the public.

I was supposed to attend last year, but couldn't get time off work... As I have a new job, I will be able to go this year!

I've never met someone with CH in person before... And the conferences sound so interesting. The only thing that worries me, like all travels by plane, is that I will not be able to bring O2. How do you guys deal with CH when away?

Jessica,

In the past there's been ample supplies of O2 available for use.  Just bring your own mask (maybe regulator).

You should come.  These people are a trip..  ROFL... ;P  Last year was my first year and I hope to make every annual get together in the future.  A really fun and genuine group of people CH'ers are...

I have to "ditto" what Jeff said

Last year was my first Conference and first time I had ever met another CH'er.  It was tremendous getting first-hand stories, excellent advice and finally meeting some of the wonderful people who support the battle against CH.  I'll always try to attend, it's really a great experience.

That reassures me. And I really, really want to go. I already advised my boss I would be changing my hours that week, and planned help with getting my kids to daycare\school while away.

As I am now seeing Dr. Mcgeeney, he told me that I have to find a way to get to this meeting. I am living on disability now so I will have to try to start saving now. After seeing the posts above I see that I will not be able to bring my guns with me. I think I would feel much safer there with them. I will do everything that I can to make it there. My father lives in Indianapolis, so maybe I can stay with him and drive up from there.

Speaker Update:  Just confirmed.

Dr. Larry Robbins - Robbins Headache Clinic   http://www.headachedrugs.com/

Lawrence Robbins, M.D. is considered to be one of the top 10 experts in the country on management of headache medications and he also discusses non-medication strategies, as well as alternative treatments.

He has authored 3 books, the first 2 being "Headache Help" and "Management of Headache and Headache Medications"  Both have been very well reviewed and are bestsellers and are available online or in bookstores.

His third is the newly release E-Book: "Headache 2013: A Comprehensive Guide to Headache Treatment, Including Advanced Approaches for When Nothing Has Helped" which is available online with links from his website:  http://www.chicagoheadacheclinic.com/ebook.html

Dr. Robbins has his practice in Northbrook, Illinois. The Robbins Headache Clinic has a reputation as being one of the top places in the United States to go for help with headaches.  He has been elected to "America's Top Doctors" for each year since 2001. He was also named as one of Chicago's Top Doctors by Chicago Magazine.  Dr. Robbins received the Clinical Pain Management Award from the AAPM in 2008, given to the physician who "...has made a significant accomplishment in research and/or teaching in the field of interdisciplinary pain management." Only one physician in the United States receives this annual award.

This will be the third time Dr. Robbins has attended the Clusterbuster conferences and this year he will lead a open format Q&A session "Ask the Doc - Your Questions On The Clinical Aspects Of Cluster Headache".   This promises to be an exciting and informative session.
