I thought with a new board it might be handy to have a spot to direct newbies to/discuss the wonderful analogy that is the spoon theory. (Actually, I was originally going to add it to the link directory, until I realized it was just for member blogs. So here's as good as anything!)

It's brilliant. I was introduced to it by a friend of my mum's, who lives with fibromyalgia. Running out of spoons is no fun at all.

Genius! I don't have lupus but I do have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and when my levels are off everything goes haywire. If I work 8 hours I *have* to sleep right after work. I just do. Which of course screws up the rest of my day / evening. It's hard to get people to understand that I'm not lazy etc that I don't intend to forget crap or be so scatterbrained, rather it's my body being weird and leading to that. Oh bless you spoons :D

The spoon theory works for pretty much most 'non visible' illnesses. It describes my MS to a tee......
