The woman who wrote this article has Lupus, another autoimmune disorder. The Spoon Theory has made the rounds, so some of you may have heard of it before.
The Spoon Theory written by Christine Miserandino
Right now, Meaghan is seeing the benefits of Rituximab and Azathioprine, (knock on wood) which seems to be allowing her to get her Prednisone down. She is at 10mg and holding for now, pending her next checkup and infusion.
The daily grind with vasculitis puts her, and other patients, in the category of people who can use the Spoon Theory to explain to others just how it is when living with vasculitis. Visual aids included if you have access to spoons!
