The Spoon Theory - Understanding Chronic Pain

[MyssKk22]

thank you so much for this! I'm sharing this with my mother who has Fibromyalgia 

[Racingirl911]

Very very good vid! Thank you!

[protecuk]

A beautiful and moving explanation :-) x

[bekahwright]

This was great and really explains what I go through. Thanks for putting that theory on video. I also would like to see slower flames. I just paused at each new message and it was fine.  Thanks

@bekahwright -- Thank you, I am glad you liked it!  I have been meaning to make a new video with slower frames, but due to a lack of spoons I haven't been able too yet. =)

I've spent 25 years in pain 24/7 thanks to a drunk driver. I've tried to explain to people who said they knew what bad pain was like that there was a hugely different mindset when you know that your pain is only temporary as opposed to knowing that you'll live with chronic pain until God takes you Home. Your spoon analogy is wonderful! I'm going to show it to my friends!

[pierocks2393]

@thepudmaster - I totally understand what you're saying...some people say 'oh I know what you're feeling' or, 'I just hate pain'. But it's like grr no you don't understand! Haha I guess we just need to forgive them & move on though, because if they don't experience chronic pain they don't know any better! I am glad you liked it, but I am not the one who wrote the Spoon Theory - all credit goes to the author of it: Christine Miseradino!

I love this video, better even than Christine's, but is there any way you can slow down the frames? Or make a new one with slower frames?

[pierocks2393]

@PartyArtByRobin - I am glad you like it...I will look into slowing down the frames, or possibly making a new one. =]

[wyldraven]

Frames transition too quickly for this spoonie. Nice musical choices though.

[pierocks2393]

@wyldraven -I am sorry! I realize now that they are too fast for some people...I apologize! Thank you though, & God Bless=]

[MsCoventry]

I actually like this video better than Christine Miseradino's video (her smacking while speaking was a bit distracting). I wish the frames didn't change quite so quickly but great job!

[pierocks2393]

@MsCoventry - Thank you=] I'm sure Christine's video is nice too! I apologize for the too quick of frames...I should have made them longer!

[cmiser1]

Thank you. It is so nice to see tributes like yours.

[pierocks2393]

@cmiser1 Glad you liked it!

You spelt Lupus wrong

[pierocks2393]

@ChristieNRoxy: Oh I'm sorry!!! I'm not familiar with the Lupus disease so I wasn't sure....i didn't mean to offend in anyway=)

[suziequzie101]

@ChristieNRoxy

If you are going to constructively correct someone, you should look within first. Example; you said, "You spelt Lupus wrong," actually she may have SPELLED it incorrectly, but I don't believe she "spelt" it wrong.

Anyway, I enjoyed this video.

[pierocks2393]

@suziequzie101 - Well, thank you. Although I do know it can be very frustrating when people bring awareness to a disease you have - but spell or pronounce it wrong.

I appreciate both yours & @ChristieNRoxy 's comments=)

[ChristieNRoxy]

@suziequzie101 lol sure lady, whatever makes you feel better. You shouldn't really worry about little things like this. For Example; getting so fired up on my comment. lol. i was just trying to make @pierocks2393 aware of it. I was one of the first people to watch this video and was only making them aware of it because maybe they can go back and correct it before @pierocks2393 gets lots of views. I am happy to see any video that brings awareness to this horrible disease.

[pierocks2393]

@ChristieNRoxy - @suziequzie101 -

I have fixed my spelling error now...so it is all good=)

[ChristieNRoxy]

@pierocks2393 no worries!! I didn't mean it in a malicious way! Just a heads up.

[pierocks2393]

@ChristieNRoxy - & I appreciate it too! It's always good to know when I have made an error that I can fix=)
