MS | I Can No Longer Control My Limbs
MS | I Can No Longer Control My Limbs
We wanted to share this woman's story showing her discovery and diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. She slowly uncovers that she is losing control of her limbs, almost like a rag-doll. It affects her daily life activities and makes tasks like working and eating extremely difficult. Through panic, she still manages to find positivity in her condition and remains hopeful for the future. This story, like many others, should encourage those who are dealing with any illness that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and that an illness doesn't mean you can not live a healthy fulfilling life.
We hope this video can help bring together those who also deal with this disease or know anyone that does!

Vasculitis | I Felt Like My Legs Were On Fire
Vasculitis | I Felt Like My Legs Were On Fire
Dinky; our main character suddenly wakes up to excruciating pain in her legs but doesn't know why it hurts so much. She goes many days of having her mum ignore her symptoms and doctors misdiagnose her before she learns what her condition is. She suffers through raging blisters and hundreds of spots all over her legs as her immune system began attacking her blood vessels.
We want to raise awareness around this condition so that people get checked sooner and not ignore their symptoms.

I Died Because I Couldn't Afford My Medication
Soaring prices for drugs, especially specialty medications in the U.S., are rapidly becoming a big issue. Like Patty in this video, people and their families forego lifesaving treatments and are piling up debt. For some illnesses it actually makes sense to travel abroad to get more affordable medication - up to a whopping 80% cheaper.
Bumrungrad International in Thailand is sponsoring this video to raise awareness for this. Find out more here: https://www.bumrungrad.com/usa
