I agree with most of the suggestions before mine; change of color, tired/fatigued eyes, and a bandage representing injury.
A moody, faded, or distressed-looking color scheme would really represent the way chronic pain takes saps our energy, leaving us feeling drained. I like the idea of adding grey to purple or teal, but that's just my opinion.
A heating pad or hot water bottle would be a good addition! I always have one somewhere on my body. -
I don't mind the colors chosen, just the vibrancy. Even just a less saturated or darker version of these colors would be nice.
(Though I know the actual color does sometimes come out different in the prototype, so maybe it becomes a non-issue)BTW the comment part of the site is still pretty buggy. The buttons sometimes will not take me to the next page of comments, and sometimes I'll see comments (even my own) repeated several times. I know its a new feature, just giving you a heads up on what still needs tinkering with.

I love the symbols and the design. I would say the castle walls are a little hard to read, at first I thought they were meant to be puzzle pieces. Maybe putting a bit of brick pattern would work, especially since muscle pain often makes your body feel like a brick wall (my back doesn’t squish at all because of the muscle pain). I think the accidental rockstar aesthetic is cool because we are rockstars for dealing with constant (or near constant) pain. I would say that maybe the colours should be a bit more muted? Like a grey-ish mint and dusty pink. And maybe even inverted too. I just don’t tend to think of my pain as being mostly neon mint, although I think having mint in the colour palette would be super cool either way. But a mostly pink colour palette with mint accents would probably work better, just because pain seems like it would be a warm and fleshy colour, but also making is pale for the joint pain since bones aren’t as bright pink as flesh. Those are just my thoughts as a chronic pain haver, but overall I really like this design and feel like it does capture the various forms chronic pain can take without being too busy. Pat yourselves on the back for this one!

I love the design of the bunny. However, the main colour should be a light or dark purple. It wouldn't be as harsh as black or red, but just enough to give comfort to the person who receives this bunny. Chronic pain is a serious illness, but the person suffering from such illness shouldn't feel the extra burden of a sad plush. The designs this far have been amazing, but maybe a colour like purple would bring just the right amount of light to the darkness looming over the shadows of people with chronic pain. Lovely otherwise! Excited to see the final product.

I think the bright colour could represent the bright smile and mask we put on to hide the pain but maybe replace the white for the grey to represent the heavy lead suit we wear and our true mood. A few sparkles hidden in the fur to stand for the electrical tingles/pains we feel all over especially the back.
