I had never heard this term. Very interesting metaphor. I get frustrated when I go to my doctor and they emphasize exercise, which is important for good health, but if I exercise, I’m done for the day. I push myself with the daily activities I have to get done and call it my exercise. Then at least I’ve checked something off on my to do list and my muscles sure hurt as much as after a hard workout.😂
I have seen this on Pinterest, that is a way to explain chronic illness. Half of the time I loaded my spoons 🥄 in the dishwasher, because I work and have to clean the bowling alley, then come back home and cook supper.

I never heard about the spoon theory either till this year. I deal with POTS myself. This was interesting.
Thank you :)
Ohh I’d wondered about that! I always learn something new from your videos 😊
Yayyy! I'm so glad :D

So I guess you're always running out of spoons then!
@@FootprintsNoBoundariesByShruti pretty much, and when I was sick with pneumonia I felt like I had the whole drawer of my spoons in the dishwasher!
