Endometriosis V2

I think there should be the same scars like the last bunny had, I have 5 individual scars and feel like this one represents a c section and not me at all, nearly all endo scars are separate little incisions.
My endo does not present with mood regulation or temperature issues, and neither of those are diagnostic at all or relevant to me or anyone else I know personally. I think those can be removed entirely and wouldn’t be missed, maybe sell a hat as an accessory if others feel it’s needed, but I wouldn’t get this as is – it’s a painful, misunderstood disease.
I think it should really be muted colors, more belly scars, no hat, no paw colors and really focus on symbolism for pain and being ignored, I liked what others said about including something to show dissociating and the feelings of neglect from medical providers.
Maybe even dark red hands to symbolize heavy bleeding and the reality that many pass massive clots, maybe more like bleeding hearts instead of just broken ones. Instead of the light blue maybe a black or even dark green. This reads very happy and everyday I am reminded of this horrible disease.

Looks good- tummy should be a little more swollen- I always look like I’m 8 months pregnant. The issue of growing adhesions and bloating makes my stomach area huge!

This is a lot nicer design! Im still not convinced on the hearts or venus symbol though. The electric bolt, softer yellow and differential colour paws are great contributions. Maybe have electric bolts on the ears? The constant pain is my biggest issue so to see that more visually represented would be good. The facial expression is exactly how I feel everyday.
I am about to go into hospital and not looking forward to the scars, similar to this little bunn. As surgery is considered the gold standard for diagnosis (as its not always visible on ultrasound and mri) the scars are an essential part of the design.

I feel the same about the scar, only because thats what im about to get ..

I agree with those who have mentioned the yellow needs to be less bright and cheery. Perhaps a dull yellow to pale yellow. The feeling of being washed out and tired.
I love all the references to temperature fluctuations. Mine were so severe I once stood outside my classroom door in a snowstorm because I felt so hot and needed to cool down. That is where you could use intense colors, the Plushie deep red, a dark blue or icy blue. I am assuming the green is for an average temperature, why not bring it out to an earthy green.
The look on the face is perfect.
I believe it could use more lightning bolts on the ears though, Endometriosis just causes so much pain, from increased pain during periods, to the pain of being bloated, period like cramps when you are not even having your cycle. The pain it causes in your relationship because you have to turn your partner away when they are interested in something physical, and you cannot engage because you know it will cause you physical pain if you do.
