I hope u never have 2 go thru da pain that alot of lupies have 2 go thru on a daily basis. Obviously u have a mild form of lupus, lucky u! Mayb if u went thru months & months of pain like some of us have u wudnt make fun of da spoon theory dat has helped many of us explain r illness 2 friends n family. I dont c how u can belittle somethin dat has been such a help 2 most of us. u have a rite 2 ur opinion, but in this case u shudve kept it 2 urself

Is this real?  This is painful to read, so I can see why you kept it anonymous.  Still, to answer your…um…question…

No, I do not have a “mild form” of Lupus.  I have SLE, RA, and many other complications/illnesses.  I just happen to think that the negative attitude perpetuated by the “Spoon Theory” is counterproductive and can actually create a more negative environment for a sick person to find comfort in.  I did not “belittle” anything, I just offered my alternative opinion on the subject.  

“u have a rite 2 ur opinion, but in this case u shudve kept it 2 urself”

Please take your own advice next time.  And maybe, just maybe, pay more attention in 7th grade English.
