"Living with Multiple Sclerosis"
It affects over 2 million people worldwide, most of them women. One of those women is Kate Milliken. In 2006, she was 35 years old and working as a video producer. Numbness in her hand, delay on the left side of her body and terrible fatigue led to a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. But since then Kate got married, had two kids and runs her own video production company.
