Macroglossia awareness/pride flag

Macroglossia is "an abnormally large tongue." This was very self indulgent as I couldn't find any flags for it

Color meanings:

• Pink for the tongue and increased upper respiratory infections

• Red for scalloped/crenated tongue aka lingua indentata and angular cheilitis

• Cream for the fact Downs and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome both use yellow for their awareness ribbons, along with representing orthodontic issues like open bite and malocclusion of the teeth

• Light blue for dry mouth, drooling, dysphagia, trouble speaking and eating

• Dark blue issues related to breathing, such as an open mouth, obstructive breathing, or sleep apnea

• Purple for Hunter's syndrome, hypothyroidism, and other conditions that can cause it

Stripe positioning is meant to mimic a tongue protruding from the mouth

Flag description:

A pride flag with two horizontal stripes on the top and a vertically striped lower section. The two horizontal bands are a medium indigo-blue stripe on top and a rich purple stripe beneath it. The lower portion is divided into seven vertical stripes. The design is symmetrical around the large pink center stripe. The colors are, from left to right: light blue, pale cream-yellow, deep muted red, a wide soft pink center stripe, deep muted red, pale cream-yellow, and light blue.

Macroglossia Questions

Hey guys, I've noticed little to no representation of people with Macroglossia. In order to remedy that I'm accepting questions about Macroglossia! To answer the first question everyone might have is: "What is macroglossia?" The answer is: Macroglossia is a two part word- Marco "large", and Glossia refers to the tongue. Macroglossia is a constant enlargement of the tongue that can cause breathing and swallowing problems, in some people its strictly cosmetic, in others it's so serious they need sugary to correct it. It can just occur at birth, or it can be a sign of a much more serious condition. Macroglossia is fairly rare, occurring in less than 200,000 people (in the US, with outside statistics being unavailable or hard to find). Speech therapy is commonly given to children with Macroglossia to aid in their speech. In my case I sit in the middle of "cosmetic" and "serious". A doctor did try to convince my parents to get me surgery, another told my parents that it was unnecessary. My parents opted to not get me the surgery, because it's invasive and hard to heal from- BUT I am a supporter of it in the severe cases. Not every Macroglossia case needs surgery, but some do. ~~ That's all I can think of to say, so if you have any questions, ask away!!
