Hi Marci,

How tremendous you are to work around your BI as you continue to work
on your masters. I was in an auto accident in 91, fell through the
cracks for years and the only hope I had for my seizure disorders were
Helen Arleen glasses. I was diagnosed with Post Concussion Syndrome
last year, but several people with traumatic head injury have told I
that I had it. I also suffer from light sensitivity, but not like
before. Helen said to me when I first started to wear the glasses that
my system would calm down the longer I wore them, and she was right.
It took years though. Good luck.

Lu
