Collection: PGM Awareness (Pineal Gland Mass)

PURPLE is the color of migraine awareness. Traditionally, PURPLE can represent many things, including suffering and royalty. Migraines are a complex condition that affects millions of people annually. But, you may ask, what does PURPLE have to do with Pineal Gland Masses? Migraines are the most notable side effect of Pineal Gland Masses.

Many people that suffer from Pineal Gland Masses never find relief from migraines (among other symptoms) and will typically have headaches 24/7.

Many people with symptomatic Pineal Gland Masses undergo surgery to relieve the suffering. Unfortunately, this surgery leaves them with a long scar with many stitches. This scar represents the crown they have earned after a battle won. Royalty wears this crown.

SILVER is the color for the "Campaign for the Brain," which brings awareness to brain research. Unfortunately, not much is known about this tiny gland or the effect these masses can cause. More research is needed. 

ZEBRA STRIPES represents rare disease awareness. These stripes are a fitting representation of Pineal Gland Masses because it's a wild ride for those suffering and their friends and families.
