I’m just starting on this journey. Every post or response is so full of acronyms that it is really difficult to follow a discussion or thread. Is there somewhere I can reference common acronyms? It would make things far less daunting.

I also find the extreme use of acronyms difficult - i dont always remember what they are. Please folks try to use less of them so we can follow your posts easier🙃
Har har, good luck.... just ignore the ones you don't know or ask your doctor. Google is your friend. This is a pet peeve of mine too but a note to the group isn't going to change anything.
I made a copy of the abbreviations list (posted above by Darryl), and this helps a little, but not much.
Many/most points can be made without abbreviations, but too many posters use them (I think) since it "shows" everyone else how much they know.
Anytime you're ready pj............
Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
