SPOONIE STORIES
Spoonie Stories: Lisa Impey
My name is Lisa Impey and I am from a rural town in central Vermont. I am 38 years old, am married, and have an 8-year-old daughter. My story is not unlike the stories of many others who have walked the rare disease path. This is my story of how my rare illnesses were eventually found, diagnosed, and treated. Throughout it all I have had the cute designs from Spoonie Sister Shop to represent my journey.
About 2 years after the birth of my daughter Abbigail, I developed this strange pain in my upper abdomen.
Spoonie Stories: Michelle Griffith
My story started in a similar manner to countless recollections I’ve read online: a teenage girl was seemingly healthy one day and sick the next.
I was an athlete my whole life, with only a few minor symptoms in childhood that were easily waved off at the time.
Then when I was 18, everything changed.
