Hi All,
I see there is a lot of new members recently which is good as people are finding this forum but bad in there is more people out here with conditions that warrent people finding the forum.
What i thought might help all (including me)and those who cannot type as fast as they used to is for someone to come up with a ist of the common abbreviations people use on this site

eg all should know what MND stands for but do they know what BFS is

It could be put on the front page under definitions or just as a thread.
What do you think, any takers?

cheers:-D
Peter

Thank you Glen. I really do get tired of directing traffic some days. If people would just look around a bit, there is a lot of information here.

Thanks Al and Glen,
Perhaps i didnt make myself clear.
I had visited the definitions page looking for some definitions that people use
mainly looking for a description of BFS which seems to be used quiet often.
(i know it is not a direct MND condition (from the replies people post when people bring it up)
but i was interested in what it was.
eventually found it on another site, Benign Fasciculation Syndrome.

The other ones i have seen today are
BFCS and BCFC
( i am guessing that both are "tied up" with BSF).

If BFS is in the definitions page i apologise whole heartly, but i couldnt find it (must have been a "down under" issue:lol:
time for another coffee:)

thanks Al for a great Forum
cheers
Peter
