    Where are the fibro friendly ladies hiding?

    It seems that most people don't understand all the pain and suffering that we go through. Where can I find an understanding girl in her mid twenty's so we could live in agony together? Maybe it would just make things worse but it sure gets lonely. What do you all think?
