Part 1 of 4
Welcome Newbies to the AMF FMily
and alumni might find items of interest too,
A giving, generous, gentle spirit named Rose aka TNLittleRiver
posted a welcome package here monthly. I kept a copy in 2001
knowing eventually I'd offer what I could.
Because Rose cared she wrote to newbies:
"For your own safety, please do not disclose any personal
information on the boards or in the chat rooms; also limit your
personal information in emails until you feel you can completely
trust that person. People are not always who they appear to be.
Though most people you will meet here are sincere, not everyone
is as honest and trustworthy as we would hope."
Her beautiful sign off: O'siyo My Friends

http://www.angelfire.com/ma/shayni/page2.html</A>
(a site that brings me much peace)
I could never do her personal warmth justice yet when she
stopped posting, I felt a 'disturbance in the force'. Since
Ben Obi Wan Kenobi was not available, here are links as Rose had
them in addition to mine excluding her extensive personal information.
Below should all be working links concerning fibromyalgia and related
issues.

Fibromyalgia has not been identified as an autoimmune disorder itself.
However, it is well known that it often accompanies other endocrine
and rheumatic autoimmune disorders.
