i know how hard it is to get out of the house, and I live with my wife who also has fibro....

have you ever heard of the spoon theory??? it's actually a way to describe fibro to others using spoons. it came from a conversation between a lady and her husband at a restraunt, she blogged about it and it became viral.

she was trying to explain to her husband what each day was like for her having fibromyalgia... she picked up six spoons. (Why there were six spoons idk.. but good story lol).
She started listing the things she had to do that day. she explained that the spoons were like how much she had in her for that day, that sometimes she only had four spoons and other times she had more. but that she had to find a way to get everything done with the amount of spoons that she had. she started listing off things that she has to get done, and for everything she removed a spoon until they were all gone. she then went on to say everything else she still had to do but had no more spoons.

they talked about how she had to prioritize and how she just couldn't do everything in a day that needed to be done.

going to the park. one spoon.
attempting yoga. two spoons.

and so on.... now, people are calling themselves spooners lol.

thought you might appreciate this.
Thanks for this!
