Family Doctor: Living with Multiple Sclerosis in Kenya | It Took 15 Years for Isaac to Get Diagnosed

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the leading cause of non-traumatic neurological disability among young adults. Once thought to be rare in Black African populations, MS is an underdiagnosed and increasingly recognized condition across Kenya. In this episode of Family Doctor, we unpack the realities of living with Multiple Sclerosis. We share the story of Isaac, who endured a 15-year search for answers before receiving an accurate diagnosis. Joined by neurologist Dr. Mativo Muthoka, we explore the autoimmune mechanics of MS, the challenge of identifying triggers like heat and stress, and the daily perseverance required to navigate progressive mobility changes.
