It's good to see you on line Doxie. WB.

As some-one who also has MS, I've also used the Spoon Theory to describe to others about the fatigue that goes arm in arm with MS. It's a good analogy that people can relate to.... if they're truly interested that is.

You'd be surprised how many people ask the question then switch off when you try to explain. It's as if they feel the need to ask but prefer to keep their head buried in the sand, or maybe it soothes their polite conscience.... I don't know. What is obvious is that they don't really want to know the answer.

I daresay it's a bit like people who say "How are you today?" when they couldn't care less about how you truly are.
