Hi...I'm registered as Galadrial...Gala for short.

I happened on the site when I was looking for info on a few issues. I'm the parent of an adult special needs kid (now in college, and nearly independent!) and I work with families with special needs kids.

Nope...no credentials here!

I hope to be able to contribute to the community in some positive way. I am a spinal surgery patient (twice) and have also dealt with pain issues.

What made me want to join? I read a thread where half a dozen people said "I HATE doctors!" Yup...me too...use them when I must, but man finding one that actually listens? Pure gold!

So...hi and well met!
