Be part of a brand new TV show

[Paul_Howard]

I've just had a call from Optomen TV who are currently working on a brand new show for Discovery TLC Channel. The show will explore different medical conditions that are not very well understood, looking at the causes, what it's like to live with the condition and what treatments are available.

As a part of the show, they will want to speak to people affected by these conditions, and one condition that are considering for the show is lupus. If you are over 18, live in the UK and would be happy to take part in the show, you can request an application form by emailing [e-mail]

If you are put forward for the show, please let us know by emailing [e-mail]

Good morning Paul

Thanks for this. Do you happen to know if the prog will be covering fibromyalgia? This is a hugely misunderstood illness.

Kind regards

Lyn

Good morning Lyn. I don't know I'm afraid. It's very early days in the development of the show. They are contacting a few organisations to get some applications in. They didn't mention the length of the series or what other conditions there are considering covering.

So glad to see that Lupus is getting some 'airtime', and hope it contributes to overall awareness raising.

Hi Paul any chance you could inform us when it will be aired if it comes about, like all of us lupies I will look forward to watching it. Thanks

[Paul_Howard Partner LUPUS UK in reply to Shanti]

Hi Shanti. I'll do my best, but we often don't hear from the producers again once they've got what they need. It'll probably be summer/autumn that the show airs, but that's not a guarantee. Hopefully if they work with somebody from here, that person will keep me updated on what's happening.

[Shanti in reply to Paul_Howard]

OK thanks Paul.
