Re: "Spoonies"

Some people do appreciate some kind of metaphor to understand what chronic fatigue and pain are like, which I believe is the purpose of the original story/scenario. For that, the Spoon thing is fine. It might help in some cases, and it might not in others.

When I first read it, I related a lot, especially to the "You don't look sick" aspect. It's just that it seems to have taken on a life of its own in the chronic illness community, one that I agree, I find a little odd.

But I'm very private about my illness and never want to show weakness. I dunno. It helps some people, so I guess that's great for them; there's no need to patronize if it's not for you.
