We welcome you to the AFFTER online Support Group. This group is designed as a place where people can gather to obtain information, visit with others who have Fibromyalgia; offer/receive support as they find positive ways to deal with the life altered by their diagnosis.

In order to insure that the group is a place where people can feel comfortable and relaxed, we do have to have a few “rules” or guidelines. These are to protect the group privacy and insure everyone’s enjoyment and comfort within the group. These rules will be sent to the group once a month as a reminder. Group modators may revoke a membership for failure to comply with these guidelines.

You may be receiving e-mails delivered to your inbox, but do not forget that these messages will continue to be available online on the Yahoo site for several years. AFFTER makes every attempt to protect its members, but individuals have the final responsibility to use good judgment and common sense.

About AFFTER:

(Advocates for Fibromyalgia Funding, Treatment, Education and Research)
A non profit organization run by volunteers, most of whom have fibromyalgia.
We have a solid organization in place with a professional board of directors and a strong medical advisory committee, including nationally and internationally known researchers. AFFTER works with these researchers to conduct FMS research and we create newsletters (printed and on-line) to share this information with the FMS community and general public.

Our mission: To participate in activities that increase awareness and understanding of fibromyalgia in the public, medical community and patient population. To organize charitable activities to specifically fund research and education that could lead to finding a cure or more effective treatments for fibromyalgia.
