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.
