But you don’t look sick

June 18, 2008

I 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.
