Unboxing Chronic Illness shirts! Brain fog, Fibromyalgia, and Thyroid disease shirts.

September 09, 2021

Did you know that every single product in this shop is tested by myself?

I need to make sure the fabric is soft and comfortable. I'm the perfect person to try it out since I live with Fibromyalgia, and clothing often hurts my skin.

I don't have any stock because the shirts are all printed on demand. That means that they will only get printed after you order them. They are specifically printed only for you.

This means that I have to order my shirts just like any customer would. The apparel items are printed and shipped from the United States. I personally live on the Canary Islands in Europe, therefore it takes a while to get to me.

A package arrived yesterday though and I unboxed it on camera.

Unboxing chronic illness shirts on camera

Funny brain fog shirt

Have you heard about the movie Cloudy with a change of meatballs? That gave me the idea to make the shirt cloudy with a chance of brain fog. I haven't even seen the movie, just thought the title was smart.

Fibromyalgia is an invisible illness

We say Fibromyalgia is an invisible illness because people can't see we're sick. That's not 100% true though, the people closest to me can definitely see when somethings wrong. I get all red and flustered and may move stiffly when my fibro is acting up.

This shirt features the Fibromyalgia monster and says "I'm invisible not imaginary." Refering to the amount of people who often don't believe us.

A shirt especially made for all the fibro fighters.

Do you have a brain fog friend?

This is my type of humor: My brain fog friend never leaves me alone... Because these are all friends we don't want to live with.

This shirt features Foggy the brain fog monster, although she's super cute you don't want her hanging around. I've also made this shirt for other chronic diseases, like fibromyalgia. Featuring the fibro monster of course, saying my Fibro friend never leaves me alone.

Whacky organs

This design came about during a conversation I had with a community memebrs inn the Instagram direct messages. We were talking about managing our health and how hard it is. I told her that the balance is so hard to keep with my thyroid disease. She responded with: "I'm also to owner of a whacky throid"

That immediately sparked a shirt design, cause that's how my brain works.

Not onlly thyroids can be whacky though, all organs can be whcky. These are available for the immune system, lungs, heart, joints, skin, and body.

Resting is not being lazy

Many people who live with chronic disease and chronic pain, are also chronically tired. Because of the fatigue, you can't do many things. This is often seen as being lazy by others.

I just wanted to remind you that resting is not being lazy. I've paired it with the Chargimals chilling together on the couch.
