Ferrita, 63

Friendship and Compassion go a long long way I would just love to connect with the world again. I've been disabled for 10 years and have spent it raising my kids as a single mother who ended up disabled with a strange disorder after being a solid hardworking member of society.

I suffer from a little known disorder called Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS for short) it is a very painful and dibilitating disorder that has no know cause and no known cure.

I was so pissed off bitter and angry when I ended up on disability due to the disease cropping up and robbing me of a wonderful career that I ended up helping found the first 501 c 3 non profit for it. Here it is ten years later and i am still very active in the HS community.

But, Somewhere along the line I became a bit of a recluse and shut in and as I get older i realize that I don't necessarily have a lot of friends and very little family. In fact for the most part, I am alone. And I guess I'm tired of it.

I would love to meet new people who can even relate to me and I to them. Friends would be a welcome addition to my life as i seem to have lost most of them along the way as well.
