Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 Hi Cathelean, here's a short list off the top of my head: OCD obsessive-compulsive disorder TS tourette's syndrome ADD attention-deficit disorder ADHD attention-deficit hyperactive disorder AS autism spectrum SSRI selective seritonin reuptake inhibitor, the main class of meds for OCD treatment TX treatment DX diagnosis VBG very big grin SI, SID, DSI sensory integration disorders PDOC psychiatrist E & RP, ERP exposure and response prevention therapy CBT cognitive behavior therapy CBTist cognitive behavior therapist Good luck <VBG> Kathy R. in Indiana ----- Original Message ----- From: Fassett Can someone provide and/or is there a list in the archives somewhere of the common abbreviations used on this list? I've been on a Thyroid list for some time and the moderator there DOES NOT ALLOW abbreviations of any sort what-so-ever. However for the sake of time and repetition, I say use them!

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2001 Report Share Posted September 9, 2001 Hi Alley CFIDS = chronic fatigue immune deficiency. Hep C = hepatitis C. Hmmmm, you are right though in a way, they do basically add up to the same thing, although they are totally different. I think I have both since I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue before the HCV. And I feel too tired and fluish to have just the HCV. Yesterday I felt terrific though ;-} Carol AndromedaGurl wrote: > Thanks Gail! > > So if I have hep c and Chronic Fatigue does that equal CFIDS or is it > different? > > alley > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2001 Report Share Posted September 10, 2001 I was only daignosed with the Fibromyalgia. I think they are separate but can be together too. Woman at work well former work basically said she was in more pain than me because she had Chronic Fatigue also. Like Who Cares? You hurt, you hurt. She was one of the ones who made fun of me (probably still are) when the Hep C was found (excuse me but, Bitch). She actually use to be my friend or so I thought for 18 years.....Take Care, Connie --- Carol <csean@...> wrote: > Hi Alley > > CFIDS = chronic fatigue immune deficiency. Hep C = > hepatitis C.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2001 Report Share Posted September 10, 2001 connie, Sorry to hear about your so-called friend. I found some of those too in my space when they found out I had hep c. I think it's important to " name " what ails us so we can feel .. what is the word.. justified? so we KNOW that it isn't in our head, it's been diagnosed, and being treated in some way. I know that I get better treatment in ER when I say I'm this and that and taking this medication than before, when I didn't have anything wrong with me, that I knew of, just migraines/sinus crap. Which I think is very very wierd. Wouldn't an otherwise healthy person be a better ER patient? Do they not know how to treat people with no other ailments than an occasional migraine? I dunno, but it's a fact for me. It's a relief in a way, to be able to say I've been diagnosed with this and I take these meds. Nurses and doctors then seem to resppond better, and are more empathetic, if that's the word, to getting rid of the immediate problem. When I go in and say nah I take occasional sinus meds, then they want to " cure " me of the migraine and not as concerned as I think they should be at getting rid of the immediate problem. Maybe it's just my Quality Inspection background. There are 3 basic parts to " closed loops corrective action " - identify the problem, do a temp immediate fix on the problem, then continue with long term corrective action to prevent the problem. OK OK down off my soap box hahaha alley > > > > > Thanks Gail! > > > > > > So if I have hep c and Chronic Fatigue does that > > equal CFIDS or is it > > > different? > > > > > > alley > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2001 Report Share Posted September 10, 2001 Thanks Pat, I found a lot of them actually one I knew 25 years and another 38 years, we basically grew up together, those are the ones that bother me and also the one friend I spoke of before it hurts in your heart. You know what I went to the ER with pain so bad throughout my body (I hate Hospitals, where I got this). You know what they gave me 2 shots I think you have mentioned them before for Migraines. Did absolutely nothing for body pain.....LOL.....maybe it kept me from having a headache. Think 1 was Visterol? The other I don't remember, if I heard it I might. I got a call from the Dr's office earlier and it kind of worries me that he might know that my RNA-PCR test would merit me being taken off the Meds. His nurse called and said he wants me to have it done in a month again. He does have a GI friend in Macon. I was counting on he didn't know so much, smile, Take Care, Connie __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 That is too funny, Kay. I was thinking...instead of VTR (vigorous tummy rubs), we could change one letter and send our list members VBR (vigorous back rubs). Sooooo, to all of you out there who are in pain this morning....I'm sending you a VBR! Granny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 Hi Kay > I do send lots of VTR's. > Kay I should hope not. Them VTR's are heavy contraptions. <GBG> In broadcasting the tape machines used are called VTR's and not VCR's. Typically a VTR uses 3/4 " video tape. I do have a couple of older models around here and they weigh a heck of a lot. Of course, I think two of them came straight off the Ark. +Dave AS/RS/RA/PA/Parkinson's/CML (in remission at the moment) Older than dirt. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2002 Report Share Posted July 21, 2002 Dear , Well I recall that the old archived messages had some in a list in the beginning of the study group back in June or July 2000. but I think we can begin one here and then after it gets big I will put it inot a Tutorial file. So for starters: qd = once a day or daily bid = two times a day or twice a day tid = three times a day qid = four times a day qod = every other day QSAD = add sufficient quantity au = both ears, aka each ear ad = right ear al or as = left ear ou = both eyes, aka each eye od = right eye ol or os = left eye NTE = not to exceed Okay people add some more and when we get lots I will make a file! Respectfully, Jeanetta Mastron CPhT BS Chemistry Founder of PTCB Study Group! and Jeanetta's PTCB Study Group! > can anyone tell me where i could find something like a list of > abbreviations., for example, bid and au and so on?
