Press Release Body = NEW YORK, NY August 28, 2006- Contemplating what you should
give a loved-one or close friend, suffering from a chronic illness? Looking for a
great get well gift? How about a t-shirt that reads \'Lupus Sucks\' or \'Fibromyalgia
is a pain in the..well everywhere\'? Look no further than the Butyoudontlooksick.com
online store. Offering apparel and merchandise with a twist, the
ButYouDontLookSick.com online store will bring a smile to any patient suffering from
Lupus, Cystic Fibrosis, or Arthritis, just to name a few.
The ButYouDontLookSick.com online store is yet another creation from Lupus patient,
Christine Miserandino of \"The Spoon Theory\" fame, who first created the tees for
herself and friends. \"I started receiving requests for many illnesses on the
shirts... and even other quotes like \'sick and tired of being sick and tired\', or \'I
have Lupus... What\'s your excuse\', and our new red-tape version of 'fragile handle
with care' tee's. I began adding new designs and quotes every week.\" The shirts come
in an array of styles from tank tops to baby-doll tees, so you\'ll find a t-shirt,
fit for every age range. Despite the fact that Miserandino suffers from Lupus, a
chronic autoimmune disease, which causes inflammation of the joints and organ
damage, she would always get stares when she used her handicapped parking pass. \"I
don\'t fit the mold that people expect when they see someone with a disability,\"
stated Miserandino.
The slogans were created to make patients, as well as onlookers, laugh, think or
even ask questions.\"Let\'s face it - there\'s no better way to say it, sometimes
things just suck,\" says Miserandino. With prices starting at $2.50, you\'ll find a
quality gift with just the right expression.
