5 out of 5 starsI absolutely love my zebra ribbon shirt (and can’t wait to wear it for EDS awareness day on January 1st)! The shirt itself feels super soft and the printing appears to be very high quality. Michelle was incredibly kind and kept me updated regarding my order from the time I ordered all the way to making sure it had arrived and that I was happy with my purchase (I am, very much so!). Everything shipped quickly and arrived packaged carefully. I will definitely be ordering more SpoonieSisterShop shirts very soon!

5 out of 5 starsI recently started Remicade infusions for Psoriatic Arthritis. I knew that having this shirt would help me to feel better about it, and it really did. The quality and shipping were great, and the shirt is so pretty and soft!

Designed FOR Spoonies, BY a Spoonie
Hi there, I’m Michelle from Spoonie Sister Shop! About 10 years ago, my life was slowly turned upside-down with the steady decline of my health. There were many years of uncertainty, misdiagnoses, and feeling alone in my struggles. Now I hope to empower fellow spoonies to spread awareness of their chronic illnesses through cute, modern, comfy awareness apparel and gifts!
Along my chronic illness journey I have been diagnosed with Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder, Visceroptosis, Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome (SMAS), Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS), Nutcracker Syndrome, May-Thurner Syndrome, Pelvic Congestion Syndrome, Dysautonomia, Chronic Kidney Disease, Chronic Venous Insufficiency, Intracranial Hypotension, Chiari Malformation, Gastroparesis, and more.
Spoonie Sister Shop has been an incredible way to turn difficult circumstances into something amazing! There are so many of us with different types of chronic illnesses – yet we are all united in our daily struggles, little victories, and overall health journeys. My ultimate hope is for Spoonie Sister Shop to help those with chronic illnesses feel understood, validated, and supported in their medical journeys!
It’s important to me to give back to the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD®) because of my experiences with rare diseases. It took FAR too long to finally be diagnosed with multiple rare chronic illnesses, and sadly I'm not nearly alone in that circumstance. That's why Spoonie Sister Shop always donates 10% of shop proceeds every month to NORD® for rare disease advocacy, research, education, and patient resources!
Thank you for taking the time to read about my little shop – and thank you SO much for supporting a small spoonie business! 💖🥄

What is a “spoonie”?
A “spoonie” is an endearing term for someone with chronic illness(es)! It comes from a blog post called “The Spoon Theory” written by Christine Miserandino, in which she describes what it’s like to live with chronic illness to a friend. Basically spoons = energy, and a spoonie is someone who has a limited amount of spoons (energy) to spend per day. You can google “the spoon theory” to learn more! :)
My Sweatshirt Is Stiff & Has White-ish Markings. What Can I Do?
Don't worry, this is a natural part of the printing process! Simply run it through the wash (machine wash cold, inside-out, gentle cycle, with like colors). The sweatshirt will soften up, and the white markings will go away! :)
My Shirt Has A Strange Square Marking On It?
Don't worry, this is a natural part of the printing process! Simply run it through the wash (machine wash cold, inside-out, gentle cycle, with like colors). The shirt will soften up, and the markings will go away! :)
