The Spoon Theory
A fellow Lupus patient pointed me in the direction of a really good way of explaining what it's like to live with a chronic illness. It's a personal essay about The Spoon Theory (FYI: the link is to a pdf file) from the site But You Don't Look Sick. I figured this was as good a time as any to post it... having just segued from several days of Lupus flare into a week long migraine. So if you read this essay, you'll understand what I mean when I say that I'm a little low on spoons at the moment.

I will be going to that link directly. Someone dear to me has lupus and you'd never know it. Someone else has an "invisible" disability but, hate to say it, she does play it up for the sympathy factor... or at least, we all think so. Either way, it sucks to have pain nobody else can really see or measure.
