That is really good. I used to be asked all the "you still tired, and in pain?" YES never seemed to make them stop too. Pain can be invisible, especially with FM. My hubby has cancer and he is in pain, but because the pain is from cancer people seem to understand that more. We just have to stick together and support each other. I noticed more ignorance yrs ago then I do today though, and that is an improvement.

Besides bumper stickers how about a pin that you could wear on a dress, shirt, or ????. It would be a GREAT idea also. If I could buy one, I would wear it all the time and give it to my friends that have Fibro.

I love it! In fact I wish I could tattoo it on my clothes.

How about...

"Don't add to my pain by being a pain!"

or

"Pain is a prison. Opioids release me."

or

"1 out of 4 people suffer with chronic pain. They can't all be faking it for the drugs."

or

"Heroin is everywhere, so why is it so hard for legitimate patients to get pain pills?"

or

"There is no test that proves pain, but stupidity is obvious!"

i love it!

I'd love a bumpersticker like that because sometimes I park in a handicapped space and walk in looking normal. They don't know my knee is bone on bone and my Fibro might be killing me, too.

I also like the idea of a pin with appropriate sayings for whatever mood I'm in that day. One could say "I'm coping well today" Another could say "Patience worn thin by pain" or "Wipe that smile off your face!"
Ha ha. Felt good to express my true feelings with those who know...

Great Idea!! it should be a combo pack of bumper stickers and mood buttons!! another one could be "You may not see MY pain & I Don't wanna hear YOU complain" sometimes I just wanna tell people to shut up!! Is that just me??

I love all the ideas for bumper stickers and mood pins. I want something I can put on my forhead I was thinking a sticker but now I'd like to go with a band and a post that holds up different messages I can change by pulling a string.

Great ideas. I just had a horrible experience this week via email from a person that I was trying to help with a project. I had informed her that I had fibro along with ms and a couple of other things. When I sent info to her after she had bugged me with several emails, she wrote back and said that I was too wordy and that I repeated myself in one paragraph and had the audacity to say that I annoyed her by repeating myself. How insensitive can people be? She then proceeded to tell me that she had been at dr. for three days this week with hbpressure. I didn't tell her I had spent four days this week trying to get a little relief from the severe pain. Just wish that hbpressure was only thing I had to worry about. I had told her previously that I had a stroke a couple of years ago, yet she was that insensitive. Wish I had a bumper sticker to send and paste over her mouth!!!!!

I LOVE THIS IDEA, now all we need is someone to make some of these shirts,I'd love to wear one, have one in every color :)

Pardon me in advance - LOL! My choice of bumper sticker would be:

"Sick of Pricks" (With a purple butterfly)


You can choose to think of that as all the tests we've taken and the blood we've given or you may think of that as a few choice doctors you've seen.

buttons are easy enuf to make, now all we need is a silk screener.... anybody???

go to

http://www.zazzle.com/

You can have shirts, buttons, bumper stickers, etc. all custom made. They already have a big selection of Fibro stuff also.

For some reason I don't want to advertise that I have Fibro, but that's just me.

LOVE it...better yet, why don't we have an INVISIBLE bumper sticker that only lights up at night! lol

Check out www.invisibleillness.com. They have some bumper stickers, window clings, etc. Ours are a little more creative, though!
