Hi,
I'm from Jamaica. There is little known about neurological disorders outside of the medical arena. I started a group on this site for persons in the Caribbean who have TN, so far none have found it.
But I was wondering, is there a global day for TN awareness? An official colour or ribbon?
Excellent question. I hope someone posts an answer, I have no idea.
That would be wonderful! I wish I knew the answer to your question.
Hope you’re feeling well today.

Please go for it!! Hope all is well let me know what I may do to help.blessings~~
Hi Zaneta,
I do see that there is a Trigeminal Neuralgia awareness ribbon..(which I am trying to get info from Stormy)
I don't see any where about a Awareness Day for Trigeminal Neuralgia.
Maybe we as members of Living with TN can start this campaign?
559-TNawarenessimage.JPG (7.86 KB)we have submitted 2 designs for ribbons that Stand Out!
NO solid color in the opinion of several of us-- we are needing to draw attention
Ohhhh Zaneta -- we come to JA every other year! we have made a friend out of a driver we met out of negril -- but we've traveled everywhere except Kingston!
I wish Me Soon Come!
That is def. an amazing idea...I would love a ribbon and a day for everyone to acknowledge the pain and suffering we experience when most people have no idea what it is! :) I know if ribbons were for sale it would be the first thing i would buy!
What about something like solid darker background with a lightening bolt-type stripe down the middle. For the electric shocks or bolts of pain??
Hi everyone,
Thanks for the responses. There's an online petition for the awareness day. @TNNME please post the link here.
@Kc Dancer Kc I'm in Kingston! you'd love it here. I haven't been to Negril in a whiiiile.
I just went and reintroduced myself = forgot I already did that!
Have you started any treatment yet?
