But you don’t look sick
June 18, 2008I just started reading Christine Miserandino’s website, butyoudontlooksick.com. Love the name.
Her mission statement:
“ButYouDontLookSick.com magazine is about living life to the fullest with any disability, invisible disease, or chronic pain and hopes to provide answers to the endless questions of: But you don’t look sick?”
She wrote “The Spoon Theory,” a great two-page essay. One day, her college roommate asked her what it was like to live with lupus. Christine reached for the nearest analogy – yes, it involves spoons.
Articulate and moving, definitely worth checking out. She prefers that people link to her site to read.
