Hi Bubby. May I ask what you are looking for in a friend? Is it someone to quietly listen to you? Someone who has gone through what you have? Someone to show you the way out of your illness? Someone who will encourage you?
I ask this because I feel sure people having already given you health advise.
May I suggest prayer? Talk with your Creator. Also there are people who would love to pray for you and talk with you, as well as share health ideas.
