The persoin who came up with the spoons explanation had systemic lupus erythematosis. Have you ever known anyone who had SLE? I've known two people who had it. It's like being allergic to your entire body. And it is damned debilitating. I have another friend who has Raynaud's syndrome. She goes through a hell of a lot too. She has to carry an oxygen tank around with her wherever she goes. All three of them fight their particular ailments every day. They have to.
"Weakness inducing", my ass.
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt by assuming there is some specific trigger behind that outburst of venom. But if you truly believe that everyone who has a debilitating chronic disorder is a self-weakening cripple, please don't feel you're under any obligation to stick around these parts.
