If anyone is confused by terms, I'm copying Mac's list off of ASAP and adding a few.
sm= syringomyelia cm or acm= Chiari malformation TCI = The Chiari Institute in Great Neck, NY Dr. M - Dr. Milhorat at TCI Dr. B = Dr. Bolognese at TCI Dr. F = Dr. Frim in Chicago NS = neurosurgeon NL = neurologist dh = dear husband dw = dear wife ds = dear son (you get the idea...) sx = symptoms dx = diagnosis, diagnosed rx = prescribed or prescription tx = treatment Pt = patient PT = physical therapy PTS or PTSM = post traumatic syringomyelia FM = foramen magnum, the opening between spine and skull PCP = primary care physician PTP = primary treating physician (work comp only ?) hth = hope this helps t2ul or ttyl = talk to you later ROFL = Rolling on floor laughing btw = by the way imho = in my honest opinion jk = just kidding b/c = because lol = laugh out loud MVA = motor vehicle accident LOC = loss of consciousness TOS = Thoracic Outlet Syndrome EDS = Ehlers Danlos Syndrome DDD = degenerative disc disease PFD = decompression surgery. BTDT = been there done that
That's about it, if anyone wants to add something, just post it here.

GREAT idea, Kaye!!! I know I was so confused by the IM terms and also the initials and all of that. I still get confused when new ones come on and I just don't seem to have the brain power anymore to figure it out. But it's fun to try!!
BTW, imho, I hth b/c if not, I am ROFL and might suffer LOC, jk! ttyl!
Kaye, whenever I read your t2ul, I read it as "toodle loo!" ha!!
