Tha barrachd de mhòr shluagh na h-Alba a' fulang le Cruas-Maothraidh Sgaoilte (Multiple Sclerosis) - na ann an dùthaich sam bith eile san t-saoghal, le 1 ann an 500 beò leis an tinneas.
Anns a' phrògram seo chì sinn mar a tha cuid beò leis bho là gu là, agus mar a tha iad a' dèiligeadh le na dùbhlain a tha an cois MS. Coinnichidh sinn cuideachd ri cuid nach eil a' leigeil leis an tinneas a' chùis a dheànamh orra. Gu sònraichte, Cairistiona Stiùbhart à Steòrnabhagh, a tha ag iomairt son banaltram sònraichte MS anns na h-Eileanan an Iar. A dh' aindeoin na h-àireimh mhòir den shluagh a tha a' fulang leis sna h-eileanan an coimeas ri sgìrean eile na h-Alba, chan eil a leithid ann. Coinnichidh sinn cuideachd ri deugaire brosnachail, Ryan MacLachlainn à Glaschu. Tha MS air a mhàthair agus thug sin air a bhith ag iomairt gus Beothaman D fhaighinn an-asgaidh dha muinntir na h-Alba, son cuideachadh le bhith a' feuchainn ris an tinneas a sheachnadh.

Scotland has the highest prevalence of Multiple Sclerosis of any country in the world, with 1 in 500 Scots living with this progressive neurological disease. In this hour-long documentary we get a glimpse into the lives of a handful of those individuals.

We find out how they deal with the problems that MS throws up, and meet several who refuse to let the disease beat them.

In particular, Christine Stewart in Stornoway, who is campaigning for a specialist MS nurse to be appointed for the Western Isles. Despite the high prevalence of MS in the Western Isles, even compared to other areas of Scotland, the post doesn't exist.

We also meet inspirational teenager Ryan McLaughlin from Glasgow. His mother has MS, and this motivated him to campaign for Scots to get free Vitamin D to help prevent the illness.
