New TV show - discovery channel - looking for patients with Hughes Syndrome

[MaryF]

Having had communication with Optomen TV, apparently they are beginning to work on a new programme to be hosted on Discovery TLC Channel. Their remit is to explore different medical conditions and how people live with them, this will also include treatments being used. They are interested in looking at more unusual conditions, so us lot may well fit that criteria. The contact address to fill out a form is: [e-mail] I have of course sent them some articles in reply and the website of our charity to look at.

When it came in I replied with to them with the Youtube film of Professor Hughes and a couple of well written newspaper articles, so that they got the whole picture! So they were looking at those before I loaded it on! MaryF x
