Abbreviations and Acronyms

[helvella]

Please see updated document linked from this post:

Some years ago, I started compiling a list of abbreviations and acronyms that appear here regularly. The idea was to make it relatively quick and easy to look up abbreviations and acronyms without being too waylaid by the many irrelevant possibilities web searches tend to return.

I continue to update the document quite frequently! Which I did within the past few days.

If you have not downloaded a copy for some time, perhaps months or years, I suggest you download a new copy.

Please, if you think there is anything missing or wrong, let me know. Post on the forum or send a Private Message.

The information above have now been incorporated into my Vade Mecum document.

helvella - Vade Mecum for Thyroid

The term vade mecum means:

1. A referential book such as a handbook or manual.

2. A useful object, constantly carried on one’s person.

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!

Thanks for all you do, Helvella

[SeasideSusie Remembering]

An excellent resource helvella thank you.

Do you think it could be one of the 5 visible pinned posts rather than having to click on "see all"?

[RedApple Administrator in reply to SeasideSusie]

Good point SeasideSusie. It did used to be in the visible list. Which one do you think we should move down to make it visible again?

[SeasideSusie Remembering in reply to RedApple]

Ermmmmmmm, that's really hard.

Can we have 6 pinned posts

[RedApple Administrator in reply to SeasideSusie]

Agreed! I think they should all be visible. Otherwise, what's the point of them being there. No-one is going to check the hidden pinned posts for something they don't even know is listed there!

[Hidden in reply to RedApple]

I didn't know there even were any invisible ones!!!

Thanks helvella x

[RedApple Administrator in reply to SeasideSusie]

I've juggled them around so it's visible now.

[SeasideSusie Remembering in reply to RedApple]

Excellent, thanks RA. I'm sure that will be helpful, if anyone asks we can just point out there's a link in Pinned Posts

Thanks, Helvella 😊 I couldn't believe how many pages of abbreviations there were. Mighty glad I don't have to memorize them, especially with my sketchy thyroid brain 😁 j

Many thanks for taking the time to do so.
