What do you know about neurological disorders?

BBC Africa HYS Team|14:54 UK time, Wednesday, 6 October 2010

BBC Africa Have Your Say is having one of its regular medical check-ups and this time, we're looking at neurological disorders.

These occur when there is a disorder of the body's nervous system which can then lead to paralysis, muscle weakness, poor co-ordination and seizures among other symptoms.

Migraines, back and neck pain, epilepsy,dyslexia and cerebral palsy all count as neurological disorders.

But how much do you know about what causes these conditions and their treatment? Do you know what to do if you suspect yourself, or someone you know, to be suffering from a neurological disorder?

If you would like to put your questions and concerns to our neurologist LIVE on air on Thursday 7 October at 1600 GMT, please include a telephone number. It will not be published.
