Dear _________,

My name is ___________ and I have Short-lasting Unilateral Neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and Tearing, better known as SUNCT.

SUNCT is characterized by severe attacks of facial pain accompanied by red eye and tearing. The syndrome is predominant in males, with a mean age of onset around 50 years. These severe attacks of nerve pain are strictly one sided.

(Your story here)

You would be doing a great public service by writing an article about SUNCT for _________ (publication name.) If people were aware of this condition, misdiagnosis would be less common and early intervention would be more common.

I welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you. You can reach me at the above address or send me an email at ____________. Thank you so much for your consideration.

Sincerely,
