As I read your posts relating to Lyme and the chronic illness aspect I begin to get a better understanding of what it means for your day to day.
@insideoutlet suffered from major chronic illness so I have seen how it all works she best explained it to me with the spoon theory.

I am sorry to hear about @insideoutlet having to pass trough that. It is funny you mentioned the spoon theory. I had heard about it, but it is only recently that I really learnt more about it from one of @soyrosa's posts.
I love the spoon theory, when I started researching more on my illness I kept hearing them called Spoonies and I was like what the hell that. I soon found out I was one lol. I still get easily dehydrated and run down but in general I can use my Spoons wisely.
It took me some time to understand how to use my spoons, but I did. Glad to hear that you are well. ;0)
