“Have you tried Pilates?”

“Have you tried pumpkin seeds?”

“You should go out more”

Oh we are SO over all this bull from “well-meaning” people who can’t help but offer suggestions as soon as they find out your disabled or ill.  So, we made a shirt (and some other things) that are a perfect counter!

[img description: a white male-presenting person in dark gray jeans and a dark teal short sleeve tee shirt.  The shirt has a checklist split into 2 parts vertically.  The top half reads, “Yes, I’ve Considered: Essential Oils, Accupuncture, Superfoods, Cleanses, Yoga” and each line has a box with a corresponding checkmark in it.  The bottom half reads, “Have You Considered: Shutting Up, Minding Your Own Business,” with similar boxes that are NOT checked.”

God, someone at my son’s school, ON OUR FIRST MEETING, hearing I have fibromyalgia, IMMEDIATELY said “Have you tried paleo?”

I said I was allergic to fad diets, and that I didn’t care for unsolicited medical advice.

“Well, I know when I cleaned my diet up, a lot of my health problems went away, so I thought -”

No, no you didn’t think. You ASSUMED:

-fibro is my own fault

-my diet is shitty

-it worked for your medical problems, it’ll work for my completely different ones

JFC, when I made it clear I didn’t want to hear it, don’t fucking double down. APOLOGIZE.

UUUUGH I especially HATE the diet suggestions.  Like, thank you for reminding me that I have food issues too, reallly appreciate it.

Also, we have a few designs related to this nonsense:

being two fo my personal favorites!

Well, I know what I’m asking for comes my birthday!

Last time I had a flare of my mystery arthritis, no fewer than six people asked me if I had tried cutting out gluten. No. No I haven’t, because I do not have Celiac Disease.

@deadcatwithaflamethrower @thebibliosphere these shirts seem up your alley.

Funnily enough, my chronic condition is one that isshould be effected by my diet, except logic doesn’t seem to be applying the past couple years…

I love this fucking store.
