Thank you for posting medical stuff. THANK YOU. Between you, other people who post about thyroid issues, and an ex with fibro, I feel that I am in a better place to help the Angel, who has a host of medical problems including the fact that his body is trying to kill his thyroid.
It helps, a lot, to be aware of disability, that it can affect anyone, and to have some idea (even a very small one) of what someone may go through on a daily basis. None of us know if we may be disabled at some point, or have a loved one who is.
If you and others didn't post about it, I would never have heard of the spoon theory, and I would not have the empathy that I do now. I am by no means perfect, and I still say or do things that are insensitive or unhelpful, but I know I would be far, far worse were it not for you and others talking about their day to day lives.
So thank you, and please keep sharing as much as you want to - the good, the bad, the doll photos, the cat stories.... I appreciate it all.
