Hi Curt and welcome! Sorry you're having to go through the diagnosis stage of the game. It can be frustrating but so many other conditions need to be ruled out before MS can be diagnosed.
Many of the "old-timers" here (me included) use abbreviations for lots of medical/forum terms and it can be confusing to a new person. Here is a link with a post that lists many of the abbreviations and their meaning:

Hope to see you around more often!
