Migraine & Headache Awareness Has an Official Color!

Over the past year, I have been extremely interested in learning as much about my Migraine disease as possible so that I can educate others on how serious and debilitating this neurological disorder is.  I've perused all the organizations I could find and I came to realize that there wasn't a specific color to represent migraines and other headache disorders.  It bothered me that my illness wasn't deemed important enough to have an official color.  My illness, unfortunately, is an invisible one - unnoticeable to the naked eye.  It's also invisible in the health care industry. It would be nice to see a ribbon for my illness.  I wear a pink ribbon for breast cancer to honor my mother who is a two-time survivor of the disease.  I wear a red dress pin to bring awareness to heart disease and how it's the number one killer of women.  But, I don't have anything that represents my disease and the impact that it has on global society.
