Thousands of Egyptians suffer from multiple sclerosis but are often wrongly diagnosed or can’t afford treatment. There are approximately more than 2.3 million people globally who suffer from Multiple Sclerosis, or MS, an auto-immune disorder in which the body seemingly attacks itself. Researchers believe that MS causes the body's immune system to attack myelin, an insulating coating around the nerve cells. MS is more common in northern, cooler countries but now there are 120,000 registered sufferers in Egypt, who face a number of particular challenges. The condition can often be wrongly diagnosed and they're often unable to afford proper treatment or obtain the necessary medical, social, emotional or psychological support. Living with MS in Egypt follows a number of MS sufferers as they face up to these challenges in a society where their neurological condition is often poorly understood and inadequately treated.
