The Fibro Welcome Package has evolved over the past 10 plus years and has become what it is today because of the hard work of many people from all over the world. 

We have grown, and are pleased to announce your most current group of fibro friends includes three published authors and researchers, a website designer, an expert in the field of disability, several graphic designers and artists, the founder and owner of one of the most popular Fibromyalgia message boards and chats on the net, a physician who has reviewed our medical information and several fibro sufferers just like you who once were seeking information and are now helping to share it.  The most current edition of the
FIBROMYALGIA WELCOME PACKAGE
was made possible by the combined efforts of many friends from many places:

Nicki Anderson
Brenda Lee Burnstein
David Budlin
Edie Chernack
Betsy Jacobson
Joann Miller
Sandy Platt
Amy Jill Sprague

and
Rose Johnson and Micki Dolan.
We wish to thank Dr. Ishrat Khatri for reviewing our medical information.

We would like to also acknowledge a fibro friend who is no longer with us, but his memory lives on through this work.  Artie was a fixture in the AOL chat rooms, welcoming the "newbies" and soon having them laughing and forgetting their pain.  Artie often played Santa at Christmas time and this is one of our favorite pictures.
