Thanks so much for the link on spoonies, John. After I posted my query, I searched our site and found the article on spoonies. I read the entire article, including all the links.
Guess what? I'm a spoonie!! One thing missing on the Guilt section was guilt at your doctor's appointment, as you go through your long list of things that are wrong with you that week/month. This is my latest issue. I feel I'm wearing my doc out. Most of the issues don't have a Fix. She recently told me I'm very gracious about acknowledging that she can't fix it, but I still feel guilt and even shame over this. Anyone else using too many spoons ruminating over this?
