feli_valkyria made reference to Spoon Theory in her journal, and after reading it, it is an excellent way to explain Lupus, and probably other chronic illnesses.

So if anyone wonders, yes, this is what it is like for me, though, I suspect I usually start out the day with a few extra spoons than most living with lupus and fibromyalgia, and today, I am borrowing against tomorrow's spoons already.

My Lupus all in all has been very kind to me, it's been the fibromyalgia that has been difficult.

I've had about 11 years now to learn how to manage it, but I'd still say the hardest part is dealing with friends who get upset with you because you can't always go out at a moment's notice.
