The Spoon Theory, Thank you Morgan
Our niece, Morgan-Brooks Institute graduate, former Miss Bel-Air and all around great person also has celiac's disease and fibromyalgia. She found an article entitled "The spoon theory" to explain what it's like to live with chronic disease.
Perfect and effective. I have: RA, OA, RSD, degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, severe osteoporosis, ankylosing spondylitis, dupuytren's contracture, fibromyalgia and have been literally hit by 2 trucks that then gave me concussions, frozen shoulder and more. However, I LOOK in excellent health. Hell, my husband lives w/ me and gives me my humira and has taken me for countless epidurals and he probably doesn't realize what my "life" is like.
Instead of my usual weekly musing-I'd love for you all to read "The Spoon Theory" and what life is like for those of us with unseen "challenges":
