Julie Ryan from Counting My Spoons

Julie Ryan began her blog Counting My Spoons in 2010 when her journey with Fibromyalgia began. The title comes from the Spoon Theory written by Christine Miserandino that explains energy in terms of how many spoons we have on any given day. 

These days Julie does not spend a lot of time counting her spoons as she has learned how to manage her symptoms and is helping others to do the same. Julie believes that we are all much more than our illnesses. (she lives with migraine, TMJ issues, endometriosis, a thyroid condition as well as fibromyalgia.) 

I’ve learned how to manage my illness and I hope that I can help you do the same. 

At the very least, I hope I can help you live an inspired life despite your chronic illness. Take a look at what’s helped me the most with managing my illness.

Julie is quite a prolific writer who shares many helpful, informative posts at her blog including:

• 16 Things Fibromyalgia Sufferers Need to STOP Doing
• What Chronic Illness Does to a Marriage
• 10 Things You Should Never Say to Someone With Fibromyalgia
• 8 Things Those with Chronic Illness Need to Know
