Hi Judy @judyingenes, Acronyms can be a little overwhelming, especially in the medical field. I have no medical training or background. When I run across a new acronym the search is on for me to find out what it is. I didn't know what PDE5 was before either until I found the link in my earlier post.

Phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5i) and SFPN is small fiber peripheral neuropathy which is one of the conditions I have.

Hope this helps

Hi John and thanks for the meaning of those acronyms.(yes, I did know what they were. My attempt at humor failed miserably, I see). It’s true that acronyms, not in your field, can be irritating. In Special Needs Education (SNE) there is an IEP in the LRE to be sure there is FAPE. But I digress.
I tend to want to read posts etc. such as we have available on Connect for the content of information and help that is given at the time that I am looking for it rather than as a reference to “Search “further. But that’s me…
Again, thanks for helping me out.
