I’m Pacing Myself You Should Too – Funny Retro Chronic Illness Shirt

This one’s for the spoonies who’ve mastered the art of pacing — because nothing says “medical mystery” like managing your energy like it’s a 90s cell phone battery. Featuring bold retro signage and a classic callout to mind your own flare, this tee makes it clear: you’ve got your own rhythm… and unsolicited advice isn’t on beat.

I’ve personally tried this shirt, and it’s super soft — like ‘wait, am I even wearing a shirt?’ soft. It’s unisex, so it runs large for women — and good news: it barely shrinks, if at all, even after a wash and dry. Lightweight, comfy, and breathable enough for flare days.

Note: Prices for 2XL and above reflect increased production costs — thanks for understanding and supporting inclusive sizing!

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
