The Story Behind the Store

Hi, I’m Nikki — mom of three from TN, Physical Therapist, and when chronic illness and injury flipped my world upside down...

I went from treating patients to becoming one. What followed was a rollercoaster of hard truths, sleepless nights, medical chaos, and the kind of strength you only discover when you have no other choice.

This store was born in that space—where pain meets purpose, and sarcasm becomes survival.  Every design reflects a piece of that journey: some are raw and real, others aim to inspire or raise awareness, and many bring the humor, sass, and unfiltered truth that help carry us through the hard days.

For me, this isn’t just creative therapy—it’s a lifeline. A small but meaningful way to help support my family and manage the never-ending medical costs that come with this life. But more than that, it’s a mission: to help every Chronic Illness Warrior fighting invisible battles feel seen in a world that too often looks away.

So if you’re here, know this—you’re not alone. You are absolutely seen. And with this brand, you can wear your scars, your strength, and your story—proudly💜

Unique Brand & Store

Invisible Warriors & Merch By Nikki was made for the fighters the world overlooks! 

We create bold, empowering apparel and accessories that give a voice to chronic illness warriors, spoonies, and the medically dismissed. Our mission? To turn silence into style, pain into power, and invisibility into advocacy—one savage, stylish piece at a time.

From POTS to MCAS, SFN and neuro disorders to brain fog, EDS to gastroparesis, rare diseases to invisible illness, chronic misdiagnoses to even vaccine injury—We see you all!

Each design blends sass, sarcasm, and unfiltered truth with the raw reality of life with chronic illness, disability, and medical trauma. Whether you're rocking a feeding tube, pacing through flares, navigating life on wheels, dodging another round of medical gaslighting, or just trying to survive the day—you deserve gear that reflects your story and your strength.

Thank you for supporting this small business and the warrior behind it. I hope you find something here that makes you feel seen, empowered, and proud to wear your truth out loud.
