How it works
Pick your symptoms
Start from a list made for your condition, then add your own words.
Say what helps
Two or three specific things are easier for people to act on than "be understanding".
Share the card and link
Send the image anywhere, and the link for anyone who wants to learn more.
Why a card works better than another explanation
Explaining an invisible illness over and over is tiring, and it is hard to get the words right when you are already unwell. A short card says it once, the way you want it said. People can keep it, re-read it and share it with others who need to know.
What to put on your card
- How it feels, not just the diagnosis. "Dizzy when I stand" tells people more than a name they have never heard of.
- Specific help. "Text instead of calling on bad days" is easy to do. "Be supportive" is not.
- What hurts. Many people don't realise that "you don't look sick" stings.
