This newbie is quite confused with some of the terminology and abbreviations used. Can someone simply post a list of abbreviations with their meaning. I do not need a full definition just simple one. for instance, PF = Pulmonary Fibrosis, etc. I do know that the "I" in "IPF" stands for Idiopathic (or Idiotpathic because the researchers just do not have the knowledge, yet. LOL) Also, from what I have read, IPF can be the most insidious variety, right? Obviously mine is related to my Still's Disease and related Sjrogrens (similar to RA or Lupus). But, what are my abbreviations?
