An online friend who has lupus sent this to me. I think everyone who knows someone with a chronic illness, not just lupus, can learn something from this article.

Bring him a spoon when you do.

It's never easy when you live with someone who's chronically ill. You want to take care of them, but it can be very tiring and frustrating...especially when the person puts forth to others that they are doing "fine", but to you and immediate family they never feel well.
