Spoonies are people that live with chronic illness; theoretically measuring personal daily abilities much as one would measure the proper amount of spoons needed for an event or occasion... sometimes having an abundance, other times coming up short.

Spoonie

A word used to describe a person with a chronic illness, which originated with the spoon theory that helps explain what it's like to have a chronic illness to people who are in good health.

It is very popular amongst people who suffer from P.O.T.S.; Post Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, which is a form of dysautonomia characterized by many symptoms which includes fainting, extreme fatigue, low bp, fast heartrate, hypotension headaches, low blood volume, exercise intolerance and more. It is chronic and has no known cure although large amounts of salt in the diet, drinking constant fluids, compression stockings, and medications have been known to help with some symptoms.
My favorite spoonie items are compression stockings, shower chairs, and salt tabs :)
