or is it the specialist?
And I am not talking about those in the medical field, I am talking about people like you and me who have experienced so much and have almost become the expert in terms of their problems.
I know I made leave off some people or possibly offend some others, but there a few names that come to mind when I think about what we are, where we have been and where we are going. To me, when I see new threads from these folks or posts, I always want to read them.
SCS "C", haglandc. I think she knows more about this then anyone.
