Invisible Disability Bags
Description: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is an invisible disability that impacts daily life in ways most people never notice. This design captures what standing up can feel like for those with POTS, helping others understand the challenges behind the symptoms. It’s perfect for spoonies, advocates, and allies who want to raise awareness, challenge misconceptions, and celebrate disability pride within the chronic illness community.
Description: Invisible Disability Awareness is more than a phrase, it’s a movement. This design challenges harmful stereotypes and calls out the ignorance faced by people living with chronic illness. Whether you live with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, POTS, or any condition that hides behind a smile, this tee is your unapologetic response to being dismissed. Wear it proudly to raise awareness, spark conversation, and remind others: you don’t have to “look sick” to be fighting a battle.
Description: Raising awareness for both hidden disabilities, these ghosts are designed to represent the conditions people struggle with that aren't always visible or understood 💛 Ghosts are often misrepresented and thought to be 'scary' or 'bad' because they're different, so this mirrors a similar message to disabilities being judged on the surface. We are not our conditions, and this artwork aims to raise awareness for that (while being cute for spooky season!) 🫶🏻
Description: The perfect gift for Multiple Sclerosis awareness! This funny design features two MS ribbons with the text, “I don’t look sick? You don’t look stupid! Looks can be deceiving. Multiple Sclerosis”. This design makes a great gift for those with MS, spoonies and those interested in the spoon theory, chronic pain and invisible illness awareness, friends, and family.

Description: What is Spoon Theory? Spoon Theory is a way to conceptualize the amount of energy that a person spends doing different types of activities. Spoons represent a sort of energy currency that help those living with chronic illness or disability (affectionately called “spoonies”) to manage their energy, effort, and recovery. Spoonies need to make decisions about how to “spend” their spoons, and they must be diligent about recovering and replenishing their spoons before spending more. Spoon theory was created in 2003 by blogger Christine Miserandino, who lives with Lupus. Copyright 2024 Veronica Foster / Mermaid Ronnie, All Rights Reserved
