WHAT IS AFFTER?
AFFTER (Advocates for Fibromyalgia Funding, Treatment,
Education and Research) is a non-profit 501(c)3 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. These
researchers actively participate in FMS research and will provide AFFTER with
updates on their studies. Our medical advisory committee and other health care
professionals will provide information on treatments to help our aching muscles.
We will create a newsletter to share this knowledge with FMS sufferers who wish
to be kept current on FMS news. There are board members who are responsible for
coordinating fund raising activities, educational projects, networking with
other groups, publications, publicity, and internet correspondence. We will work
with our medical advisory committee to help fund research projects that would
benefit all FMS patients.
