is it possible for us to have a list of abbreviations/meanings somewhere on here please.

we all shorten things that we are familiar with but some of us do not understand all of them and it makes our understanding difficult.

I Agree, i cant understand most of the abbreviations, except FM (Fibromyalgia) lol

Morning all :) I've just dragged myself out of bed, put the computer on with my big toe :) :) I can't bend down to do it normally lol. Off to get a cuppa in a minute.

There are some I don't know too. All I know is RLS is Restless Leg Syndrome and IBS is Irritable Bowel Syndrome and then CFS Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and I know ME but can't spell it. :(

Someone else will come on and tell us the others - and then I'll promptly forget them!!!

Got a 10 hour day today wity my little girl, hope everyone has a good day.

Thank you Chris, that's brilliant. I forgot another one IFSWIM if you see what I mean.

does that cover the medical terms tho Chris? I noticed when I was listing my ailments they are nearly all abbreviated and some I cannot even remember! but thanks anyway they might be useful to have.

i suppose then that LS is Lumbar Spondilosis? Thats very interesting, thanks for that. I have a few of those as well but never used abbreviations.
