• The Spoon Theory

  by Christine Miserandino.  A great way of describing what it’s like to live with chronic, debilitating pain, disability or illness.  I can relate to the fatigue part.  I’ve had it for several years. http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/wpress/articles/written-by-christine/the-spoon-theory/

• The Stigma of Disability

  By Becky Oberg of More Than Borderline.   “You look fine to me” is heard by people on Disability all the time.  It is an invisible illness, and is highly stigmatized. http://www.healthyplace.com/blogs/borderline/2012/06/the-stigma-of-disability/
