The Spoon Theory popped up on my migraine forums, and I just thought it was really neat. It's written by a person who has lupus, but can really apply to anyone with an "invisible" disease, and in fact is posted at a website called But You Don't Look Sick.

Although it applies to a lesser extent to migraine folks, I really felt some truth in the idea of "budgeting spoons" to get through the day, especially for those weird prodrome and postdrome days where I'm not really in pain but I am just not right, either. And I can see how this idea could help people with other issues. I just had to share this one!
