Lavender,
I love the name. Welcome to the forum. Yes we can be friends. There are many supportive folks on this forum and we are very understanding when it comes to dealing with the pain and suffering that comes with fibro and chronic fatigue. Please join in on asking questions and sharing your thoughts on the many topics. I do not live in Canada, but many of our members do, so I am sure you will find many new friends from your area, as well as, from the United States and around the world.
Glad you are with us and I will see you around the forum.
