Helping your friends understand

Thanks to Kerrie at The Daily Headache for pointing this one out.  There’s a website put together by Christine Miserandino called But You Don’t Look Sick?.  It’s a very popular site, but for some reason I’ve never mentioned it here before.

The focus of the site is on those who have Lupus, or, as the home page says, any invisible disease.  Sound like anyone you know?

Christine wrote an article that you can read on the site.  The article has resonated not only with those who have Lupus, but also migraine, MS (see this blog entry), chronic fatigue syndrome, and more.  It’s worth taking a few minutes to read – check out The Spoon Theory!

You can look around the site and find free note cards to download about the Spoon Theory, and you can even buy "Spoon Gear".  Looks like some great gifts for people with a chronic illness. 🙂 (No, I’m not fishing for a gift.  But hey, if you really like me…) 😉
