Welcome fellow spoonies!
✳️ Updated the humor! ✳️
This started as a way for me to support other Poshers with chronic illnesses, but has morphed into a very loosely defined share group!
If you’d like to be part of our ongoing group, just introduce yourself, have a *compliant* closet, & share others here as you are able.
✳️ No need to disclose your illness unless you want to. ✳️
No set number of Poshers, items, or days. We’re just here to support each other.
If you have questions, just ask!

I'm a "spoonie," too! I have a mTBI. I was glad to find "Posh" because I can't work, if allows me to keep my wardrobe up to date.

@jenrossi1217 Hi, Jennifer. Good to know I was already following you! I'm in the TBI club, too, along with a host of other things: fibromyalgia, stroke survivor, Factor VIII Disease, GAD/MDD/PTSD, osteoarthritis, many TIA's, chronic migraines, and a totally f'd up spine. My bizarre sense of humor keeps me grounded, lol.

@jenrossi1217 I agree about that being a great thing about Poshmark. I'm not able to hold down a full-time job and be dependable. I've been on disability since 2008 but I'm back in school because I can't afford to live on my SSDI alone. I may hit retirement age by the time I graduate, but it keeps me focused on something else besides thinking about all the ways my body is trying to do me in. LOL. I'm going to make sure to pay closer attention to your closet! 🌟

@starbabyonline I understand what you mean about the body rebelling on you. I feel like I am made up of random parts- and I can't find the receipts! I'm 41 and have more health issues than my 90 year old grandma in law. But, I do what I can- when I can. I was heavy in share groups, etc, last year, but my migraine became out of control, so I had to step back.

@jodisjewelry and @nic39 - Hi Jodi and Nicole! I always give spoonies extra shares. I'm glad I'm going to be in your group, yay! I saw it from someone I was sharing this morning & figured I'd check it out. Sounds a little complicated but I think I get the idea. I've always supported other spoonies on here but no one has ever said "hey that's me", so I figured I'd make a post last night & it seems to have worked. I hope a lot of people come in on here so I can support them!

@styledlife Yes! Welcome to the tribe at least here on Poshmark. I adore those rain boots that you have in your closet there are so pretty. I just shared some of your items. I saw in the beginning of your Meet the Posher that you're in the Deep South. That must mean you're north of me. Haha. Most of Florida is the only place I know where you have to drive north to get to the Deep South, LOL.

@starbabyonline Aww, thank you! Those rain boots are super cute, aren't they!? And very comfy. I just don't get out enough to justify keeping them. Close guess on my state! I'm in Alabama. You're right- Florida IS deeper south. But FL feels different than Bama with all the people settling there from up North or vacationing from all around. I love visiting FL. Miss the beaches so much! ♡ I'm a Pisces- so water is my thing. Being landlocked is no fun. Lol xoxo

@chellebellesc If you can identify with the Spoon Theory, you definitely are a spoonie. I have a bunch of oddball/rare diseases/conditions which took forever to put a name on, so I understand that "not knowing" feeling. Life is challenging enough already. There's no need to not support each other when we get the chance. Sent some extra shares your way.

@poozer50 Yep, it's not a fun way to live, never really being able to plan anything with certainty. I went back to school a couple of years ago and even following my class schedules/assignments is sometimes really difficult. That warped sense of humor really is a lifesaver at times. 😁

@katieskorner Very cool. I was a psych major until last semester, and changed my major at the insistence of one of my professors, going into the Graphic Design program instead. There are only 20 students who get chosen for the graphic design program each year, so I was kind of bowled over that she and another prof encouraged me to be in it as a major instead of just taking a few classes. I also took an incredible psychology of gender studies class last semester.

starbabyonline
@dejavue22 Martina, nice to meet you! I see you're new to Posh, so I suggest you look at the prohibited items list you agreed to when you joined. Unfortunately, perfumes and household items are on that non-compliant list and will result in other Poshers not sharing (or even buying from) you. Check my "Posh-compliant" listing for the exact verbiage from Posh. I'll be more than happy to share when your closet is compliant. Continued in next comment...
Aug 09Reply
starbabyonline
@dejavue22 Share Groups (SG) are a way to get your items out into the Posh-universe, to people who are not currently following you, so it is a golden opportunity for more visibility and sales. Most SGs have a minimum amount to share each day, and/or a specific item, color, brand, or whatever to share as well. In here, we're just here to help as you are able to support other spoonies on Posh. Please feel free to ask any Posh-specific questions and I'll be glad to help you!

@lillylife There are some really good support groups on Fb and IG but even those tend to go thru periods of extreme negative rumination which isn't good for anyone. My true support circle is VERY small, but I know I can talk to them about virtually anything. In FL, pain mgt is a lot different than other parts of the country because the opioid epidemic is so out of control here. I go to pain mgt but am on the absolute lowest mg's of oxycontin

@lillylife Ketamine is reserved for only terminal individuals here. Have radiofrequency ablation scheduled for next week before school starts back. The kratom actually helps more than the oxy's do.

@lillylife FL just became a medical marijuana state but has so many rules and regs attached to it currently, it's ridiculous. It is one of the few things that works on my fibro, migraines, anxiety, and spinal & stroke pain. Of course, insurance doesn't cover it at all, so it's out of the question for me right now because I can't afford all of the financial hoops I'd have to jump through.

I would love to join "The Spoonies Group", I am just not quite sure where to no, or how to. My Closet I'd Compliant because I also belong to the Vintage Group. Can you Help me? Thank you, Kitty2528111

@kitty2528 This is a VERY loosely organized group. It may become something more organized at a later point, but for now, just share as many items as you wish from each spoonie who's commented, when you can. Example, share 5 items (or more) out of each spoonie's closet. You can do it daily, or when you chose/are able. I'll occasionally lower the "price" of this, so everyone gets a notification reminder.

@starbabyonline Thank you So much! I am having a LOT of Health issues, and sometimes I just can't keep up and feel horrid. I don't know What the Cardiologist is going to say, and have to start at a Lymphodema Clinic which they tell me is very intense and time consuming. So Thank you very Much! All this Medical mess is new to me..so..😢😢💔

Hi, all! I'm a Spoonie too - I have something called Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) Dysautonomia, which basically means that my autonomic nervous system doesn't work as it should, causing a myriad of symptoms. I am an RN & practiced for about 20yrs before becoming disabled. 😕 I love that there's a group of Spoonies connecting on here! I don't make much but it's the only way I've been able to bring any funds in to the house since I got sick! Happy Poshing, Everyone!

Hey💃🏻I saw your shout out on Facebook for other spoonies and I said, "that's me!" 😀. I have narcolepsy, cataplexy, and epilepsy. My husband says that he's sure if there are other epsys I have them😄I had to retire early from teaching this year because it got more difficult and I can sleep from 3 hours a day to 20 hours a day so Posh activity can be more erratic than I'd like. My sleep is fragmented so I may appear to be online a lot, I just have my phone next to me in bed😬I'll be glad to share👍🏼
Sep 04Reply

@theretromuse Welcome to our spoonie family here! This isn't a conventional share group precisely because of things you mentioned. I have phases of good/bearable days where functioning is fine, then go into a flare, or have multiple days of mega-migraines like the past couple of weeks where I do the minimum possible. Just share as you can, when you can.

Sep 28Reply
starbabyonline
@maidmarian A scoby is a culture which sort of looks like a gelatinous mushroom. You ferment it over a week or so with sweet tea and some people add pure fruit juice. It's a probiotic drink which is good for your overall well being, but especially your gut health, mood, and inflammation. You can find it in the grocery store refrigerated section, but it is a tiny fraction of that price to make it yourself.

@lovenushuz Lucky you! LOL! In all seriousness, wow, I wish my insurance would cover massage. I have an incredible massage therapist but I can rarely afford her. Massage helps SO much with my fibro, arthritis, and messed up spine, including a torn rotator cuff I've been dealing with for almost a year. They'd rather pay for for expensive meds and invasive procedures which do not even touch what massage does for helping me be closer to pain-free.

@starbabyonline I have fibromyalgia and arthritis (as well as a couple more "fun" ones)! I've never read the book, but I'm very interested in checking it out! Was diagnosed with fibro in 2001 before I even turned 30. Since then it's been a rollercoaster of trying different meds, chiropractor, physical therapy & even yoga & meditation. I've learned that it's a bummer of a syndrome to live with ~but the key word for me is"live" & I try to live and not just get by or "survive" with this. ♥

@nia1113 Nia, glad you live by the laughter cure. It always helps! The Spoon Theory isn't from a book. It was an essay written my Christine Miserandino to explain a chronic illness to a "normal" friend. If you just Google it or visit ButYouDontLookSick.com you'll find it on her front page. It's always been a godsend for explaining how challenging life is to someone who doesn't have a chronic illness. Keep smiling! Spoons for you 🥄🥄

To anyone who happens upon here this week: I could use some spoons 🥄🥄 this coming Wednesday. Weird surgery (is there any other kind?) on my arm. They're opening it up and wrapping one nerve around another so it will hopefully regenerate and I don't lose nerve function in that arm. Sounds all sci-fi, doesn't it? School is in its last three weeks, I'm going to have final critiques in four studio classes, and deal with recovery on top of that! Always something to keep me on my toes!

@ronimase Roni, only by a little bit, lol. Yep, I never wanted this to be a complaining/renumeration group and it's way too easy to fall into the victim role rather than the survivor role. This has always been a place to receive support and empathy, and a place for others to feel a sense of belonging but not try to one-up each other with symptoms. We all have them; that's a given. We are all super heroes in here, pushing through what is "normal" and easy for everyone else. I loved your posts!

Wanted to formally introduce myself since I did some commenting already. I'm Jamie and I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, chiari, MCAD, dysautonomia, interstitial cystitis & TBI. My medical bills are what drive me to sell but meeting amazing people are a nice perk as well. I had no idea there were this many spoonies on Posh! Sending my love and spoons to you all!

Hi there! My name is Bianca. I have Arthritis, scoliosis, 2 bones that never fused together, a bulged disc, sciatic problems, fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel with a list of the mental stuff as well. And not enough spoons in the day to function always having to borrow for the next day and never any leftover from the day before. I would love to join this group as posh isn't just a way to support me anymore. It's a way of keeping busy to not think about the pain so much.

Just as a reminder, no one has to ask for permission to be here and only share your challenges IF you feel comfortable doing that - NOT a requirement. ☺ This is just a spoonie sisterhood (so far, no brothers here that I'm aware of) to support each other when we have time and/or are not hurting too much. Share as you are able. We are all survivors, not victims. Behind as usual - welcome to all the newbies!

Dysautonomia Awareness month is October and we are having a fundraising dinner Oct 13. I would like to sell my closet and donate all of the proceeds towards our goal. All money goes straight to Dysautonomia International, who I am a co chair for. Please pass this on, especially to those will a chronic illness such as Dysautonomia/POTS,EDS. I will happily pass on the donation link if anyone wishes to do that instead. Every dollar counts. Thank you!

Hi everyone 🙋♀️ I'm Rachel (aka GiGi) and I'm a spoonie. I saw this group months ago when I first joined Posh and was intrigued. I love that Posh can not only be a buy/sell forum but a social and communicative one as well 💗 I'm always nervous to talk about my condition with others as it's more mental than physical. I'm hoping you all will accept me as a fellow spoonie 😊

@jayroo Hey Jennifer. Enlarge the Real Pain Chart above and tell them what kind of day it is. A little humor goes a long way. Keeps me sane (or saner), that's for sure! Give/email them the link to The Spoon Theory too. Some people honestly don't understand how all-encompassing chronic illness is. I'm short on spoons today already, but always keep an extra in reserve for others!

Just tired of the pain. I stayed over my daughter's house, watching my grandkids. I slept on the couch because she has a high bed and I could not get climb into it. Not even from a kitchen chair. My hips, and back went into spasm when I tried. Every time I tried. I gave up, defeated, I went in and slept on the couch.

I’m a spoonie, I have bladder Pain Illness known as IC. When I had kidney stones blasted 2 years ago the shock waves were too high & it thinned my bladder to holes like a colander. They think I’ve always had this & the surgery pushed it into high gear. It clicks with the many Misdiagnosis over the years. I was relieved to get a diagnosis but my husband wonders did you have that or is it surgeon error. I get you sleep to much. I have to cath to put lidocaine in my bladder to manage the pain.

Hi, I'm Qia. Glad I found you guys. I just laughed my way through the last few images. I can SO relate to it all, but the "list of people," the Jurassic Park dude, and bench pressing a Buick are hilarious. Laughter is good for the soul, just like medicine. If only we could bottle it and make it into an actual cure. Till then... We have memes and a great sense of humor.

@qiascloset Qia, glad you found us too! Yep, laughter is what helps me get through most days. A long time ago, I was depressed a lot and it always made my conditions worse. I still have depression, but I don't let it own me. I just acknowledge it like my other conditions/diseases and include it in my sometimes morbid sense of humor. It makes things a heck of a lot easier to deal with! Spoons to you! 🥄🥄🥄
