The Spoon Theory explained.

Have you heard about the SpoonTheory? It's a way to explain to others what it is like living with chronic illness.

The Spoon Theory is a creative way to explain to healthy friends and family what it's like living with a Chonic illness. Dysautonomia patients often have limited energy, represented by spoons. Doing too much in one day can leave you short on spoons the next day. If you only had 12 spoons per day, how would you use them? Take away 1 spoon if you didn't sleep well last night, forgot to take your meds, or skipped a meal. Take away 4 spoons if you have a cold.
