This card says "I have myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), a multi-systemic condition causing profound, debilitating exhaustion.
It can also cause pain, headaches, sensitivity to touch/sound/light, and affect memory, concentration, sleep, digestion, speech, and more. Symptom levels vary over time.
Mental or physical activity can worsen symptoms, although the effect may be delayed by a day or two. Symptoms from doing too much can last a long time or even trigger a permanent deterioration, so I have to manage any activity very carefully. There is no known cure."
These 110x80 mm cards have rounded corners and a hole to the top left.

You can add a blank sticker to the back so you can write on it - the blank stickers available from the keyring card accessories category also include a clear sticker that you can place over the top of the white sticker once you have written on it, to seal it.
