Lauren, I think we understood that you were looking for friends.

Fibro can be a condition that leaves many of us isolated as it is often easier not to commit to the plans of others, we never know how we will be in advance and may not be able to cope with their plans.

Fibro is not a condition that many outside of the condition understand well and this further complicates matters for many. I think wee all assumed that you were perhaps feeling a bit isolated and that is not good, at the end of the day we have probably all felt quite down at times. I would be unable to offer a lot in the way of regular time but if you do want someone to talk to I will be more than happy to give you my number or perhaps meet up with you for a coffee and a bit of a chat.

Nanaanna has said that she lives in Lisburn, I know Seymour St is in Lisburn as I used to work there.

If you would like my number just ask,, I can assure you I have no plan or agenda of finding a partner and offer only out concern that a fellow suffer is feeling the need of a friend with an empathetic ear who understands how difficult things can be.

Best Wishes, Ray

There is a very good group called Newry and Mourne ME and FM, they have a FB page and links to many other groups. I know they have support meetings and it seems like a great positive group. I'm down South, good luck :)
