Whether your pain is from Fibromyalgia (FMS), back pain, lower back pain, or other chronic pain, trying to work around that pain can totally disrupt your life.
This Whenever Clock shows how pain can make hours seem to tumble and jumble together. Doing any task according to a schedule is difficult. But, time still marches on — and the accurate minute, hour, and second hands reflect that.
This clock shows that you’re not oblivious to time nor are you unmindful to the implications of the importance of time in your life, but it also makes a statement and lets you show your frustration over how pain wrecks your time management capabilities.

Because The National Fibromyalgia Association (NFA) has named September as National Pain Awareness Month, TShirtCollections.com will feature pain- and Fibromyalgia-related designs throughout the month.
Because Fibromyalgia is not the only condition that can result in disabling chronic pain, the first “Warning! Things NOT to say to someone with disabling chronic pain” design is also appropriate for anyone who must cope with disabling or chronic pain.
The final line (”I wouldn’t wish what I have on anyone, but unless you get it, you just don’t get it”) says it all.
You can show your empathy for somebody in chronic pain or show your fun side and raise chronic pain awareness with this “Chronic Pain Warning!” design. In addition to dark, white, and colored t-shirts, this design is also available on coffee mugs, a chef’s apron, magnets, postcards, a tote bag, a messenger bag, and more.

This design will help show that you’re making the most of coping with a debilitating health concern — or that you understand how someone you love is coping with a debilitating condition.
Of course, health concerns aren’t the only things with which you might need to cope. Many experts agree that acknowledging a problem is one of the best coping skills you can acquire. Myself: I believe that humor helps. So regardless of what type of stress is affecting your life, making light of it may not make it go away, but it can help make it easier to cope. That in itself is a big help.
