This episode is the third installment of our international series where Kathy talks to MS’ers from around the world, to see how their diagnosis and treatment experiences differ from our own.

Today's guest is Katrine Bonde, a university student from Aarhus in Denmark. Denmark has one of the highest rates of Multiple Sclerosis in the world (only San Marino and Canada have a higher prevalence).

Now aged 24, Katrine was diagnosed with MS in June 2014.

Topics covered include:

• Katrine's diagnosis and initial symptoms
• Availability and cost of care and treatment in Denmark, including DMTs and ancillary treatments
• Workers' rights, protection and sick-pay in Denmark
• Danish protocol for MS relapses
• Availability of medical marijuana in Denmark
• How to say FUMS in Danish!
