Lupus

Spoon Theory
A young lady was sitting with her long time friend in a diner, talking as usual. As the young lady went to take some medication her
friend inquired what it was like to have Lupus and be sick. She had
went to the Dr appointments, watched her walk with a cane, seen
her throw up in bathrooms and cry from Pain, the young lady assumed her friend knew. The young lady tried
to ramble about pills, and the diagnosis but her friends was not happy with the answers. She wondered how she
was going to be able to answer a questions she was never able to answer herself.
She quicly grabbed every spoon on the table, and even the tables nearby. She handed the sppons to her friend
and said here now you have Lupus. Her friend was puzzeld so she started to explain.
Most people start off the day with endless possibilites and energy to do whatever they decide.
She asked her friend to count the spoons, she coutned 12. The young lady stated this does not gurantee you will
make it through the day or through your tasks with your 12 spoons only letting you know how many you start
with.
She asked her friend to list the tasks she performed this morning, even the simple ones. As her friend named
the tasks, the young lady would remove spoons. Crawling out of bed; 1 Spoon, Taking a Shower; 1 Spoon, Getting Dressed; 1 Spoon. Her friend quickly ran out of spoons.
her friend stated, “but I want more spoons.” The young lady explained. Thats not the way it works with Lupus.
You only get a limited amount of spoons and once they are gone, you are done for the day and try again tomorrow. Some days you have more spoons than other, but its learning to live life, always keeping a spare spoon in
your pocket.
