Welcome to Spoonies Unite!
What is a Spoonie?
The term “spoonie” comes from the Spoon Theory, a way of explaining the limited energy that many of us face each day. Each spoon represents a unit of energy — and for those living with conditions like fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, chronic fatigue, and autoimmune diseases, even simple tasks can use up more spoons than we have to give.
Spoonies Unite exists to bring together people who get it. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been navigating this journey for years, you’ll find compassion, connection, and real understanding here. You're not alone — this is your place to rest, recharge, and be supported.
