Acronyms - A help sheet would be useful

[Ruane]

I am 62 started with hyperthyroid in late 2016. I still coming to terms with my thyroid condition. I am in remission for now but I keep getting symptoms although nothing is acute at the moment. I have been on this excellent sit for about 2 years but I still don't alway understand the results and what they mean. I don't have time to read up and remember all the acronyms and if some clever person had time I would so appreciate a list of the acronyms use in the posts and any that might be relevant for hyperthyroid people.

Thank you x

"Some clever person" has done just that. Helvella, one of our wonderful moderators, has created, and frequently updates, just such a list. Thanks, helvella .

Please don't get put off by the number of pages!

Not everything is in this one document - my major medicines document is still separate!
