Could we have an index of abbreviations?
« on: October 03, 2018, 11:08:46 PM »
As a newbie I'm finding it a bit dificult to understand all the abbreviations that the ladies are using in their posts on the menopauce part of the forums.  Could someone do a sticky post explaining all the abbreviations for other first timmers to the forums? 

Sorry if this isn't allowed and you can remove this post if needed.

Thanks.   Margaret. 8)

Are there any particular abbreviations that we might be able to help with just now?

Sounds good - do you mean the menopause stuff?

HRT = I presume you know this one?
VA = vaginal atrophy
SHBG = Sex Hormone Binding Globulin
ABs - antibiotics
ADs = antidepressants
SSRI = a class of anti-depressant

Brain's gone blank and can't think of any more at the moment!

Thank you Hurdity. It's hard to know what all they mean when you're a newbie like me.  ;D 8)
