Just wanting to share The Spoon Theory with my fellow Chiarians. It's a great way to explain what it is like living with an invisible illness. Christine Miserandino does a great job of explaining what it is like to have a chronic illness. Christine has Lupus but the explanation she gives is absolutely amazing!
