A Lupus patient, Christine Miserandino of ‘The Spoon Theory’ fame first created the Tee’s for herself and friends. “I started receiving requests for many illnesses on the “sucks” shirts… and even other quotes like “sick and tired of being sick and tired” etc. I add new designs and quotes every week.” The shirts come in an array of styles from tank tops to baby-doll tees, you’ll find a Tee fit for every age range. Miserandino, like most patients with moderate to severe Lupus, uses steroid drugs which help combat inflammation, but can cause fluid retention and mood-swings. ” I have worn some of the newer designs out recently, like the prednisone make over shirt, and it is fun to make people laugh with you and have a sense of humor about a hard subject” stated Miserandino.
“Our “sucks” line of shirts has become so popular, that I have been receiving requests from readers for new slogans with different diseases and disabilities featured on them. It is exciting to add to the line and to reach more people” said Christine. With prices starting at $2.50, you’ll find a quality gift with expression.
Christine added “” I will be very busy in the next month adding more new designs and requests. It is hard to keep up with the demand for new shirts and gifts, but I love it!” To visit the ButYouDontLookSick.com store visit http://www.cafepress.com/bydls or visit butyoudontlooksick.com and click on the online store button.
