THERE WAS NOTHING UNUSUAL DURING MY CHILDHOOD, OTHER THAN BEING THE OLDEST CHILD WITH TWO ALCOHOLIC PARENTS AND THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT ENTAILS.

AS A YOUNG ADULT I PUT MYSELF IS A HIGH STRESS LIFESTYLE. A YOUNG DIVORCEE SINGLE MOM WORKING MULTIPLE JOBS AND CRAZY SHIFTS TO MAKE ENDS MEET.  I WORKED ALL KINDS OF ODD SHIFTS.  I STATED HAVING MIGRAINES IN MY MID TWENTIES.  I HAD 7 CONFIRMED CONCUSSIONS 3 FROM MAJOR CAR ACCIDENTS THE OTHERS FROM ABUSE AND STANDING UP AND HITTING MY HEAD ON THE FREEZER OR TRUNK OR KITCHEN CABINET. 

I WENT THRU 3 MIGRAINE CLINICS WITH DIFFERENT INSURERS.  MY RECOMMENDATION WAS TO WORK LESS AND AVOID STRESS.  I DECIDED TO ADD COLLEGE TO MY CRAZY SCHEDULE SO I COULD GET A BETTER JOB.  I WAITRESSED, WAS A BARTENDER AND WORKED IN A DARKROOM. IN COLLEGE I STARTED PRINTING BLACK AND WHITE AND TONING PRINTS AND DEVELOPING FILM.  I WORKED IN A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHIC LAB DOING THE SAME FOR 9 YEARS.  I ALSO WORKED WITH PHOTOGRAPHIC CHEMICALS IN A COOP DARKROOM WHERE I WORKED TO GET FREE STUDIO AND DARKROOM TIME. I WORKED AT TEXAS
