This cute little snail doesn’t care that he moves slowly. He’s letting everyone know that being slower is just right for him!
If somebody is moving slowly – literally or metaphorically – please remember that it’s probably not by their choice. Many people have invisible problems, things you can’t see, that slow them down. Pain, fatigue, [...]

If somebody is moving slowly – literally or metaphorically – please remember that it’s probably not by their choice. Many people have invisible problems, things you can’t see, that slow them down. Pain, fatigue, and a lot of other problems can force people to move slowly even when they want to be fast.

“But You Don’t Look Sick!”
It must be the phrase heard most often by those with chronic illness, chronic pain, and invisible disabilities. It’s the phrase that inspired me most when I wrote the Open Letter To Those Without Invisible Chronic Illness, which tries to explain how to best support a chronically ill friend or family [...]

What the sticker says is most definitely true – some of us move slower than others. And some of us move a lot slower. And it’s not fun to be the one forced to go slow, especially when the public isn’t accommodating of slowness.
If somebody is moving slowly in front of you, please remember that [...]

This is what a person with an invisible disability looks like … exactly like anybody else.
Wear this shirt when you’re sick of getting abuse for using your disabled parking permit. Whip it out to grab a much-needed seat on public transport without the nasty looks. Give it to all your friends to wear, so they [...]

Got Multiple Chemical Sensitivities? MCS? Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? CFS? Alergic to the 20th Century? Environmental Illness? EI?
Whatever the reason, if chemicals are bad for you then you need this shirt to warn people to keep them away from you … and you away from them.

The word ’sick’ can mean manay things, and I find that leaving the precise meaning open to speculation can sometimes be … rather interesting.

Are you totally and utterly sick and tired of people describing the severe neurological disorder ME/CFS as ‘fatigue’ when that’s totally not it? This shirt should be a good start if you want to clue people in. Not so polite, maybe, but it sure gets the message across …

Sometimes we just don’t feel as “gung ho” and “out there” as the slogans on some of these shirts. I decided I wanted to design some “more gentle” slogans for those days that people needed some TLC and this was my first try.

If you, too, have the dread disease (DD) so stupidly called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, then YOU would want the phrase CFS Sucks across your shirt too!
