Discrimination Against People With Multiple Sclerosis Do Americans Discriminate Against People with Multiple Sclerosis' Kevin is a quiet man who has known he has multiple sclerosis (MS) for six years. He hasn\'t told anyone. [Kevin explains] “I went to a doctor because I had a serious fall. He decided to run some tests and a week later he told me that I have MS. No one can tell when they look at me. I\'ve learned how to cover losing my balance. I\'m only thirty-two. I\'m not going to tell anyone because they might think I can\'t do my job. I\'m sure not going to tell any woman I want to date. What\'s she going to think—I\'m a cripple'” (qtd. in “Disclosure”) This story is a prime example of what people who have MS live with every day of their lives. Kevin’s initial reaction was not concern for his health or well-being, but the kind of discrimination he would now have to face because of this devastating disease. People with MS are discriminated against in several aspects of life. According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) Web page, MS is a disease that affects the brain and the spinal cord.
