Has anyone ever mistaken you for being drunk because of your multiple sclerosis?

Multiple Sclerosis Awareness

As many of you will know tomorrow sees the beginning of Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week .

As part of my reading for a few awareness posts I can across a statement which astounded me. That 50% of people with multiple sclerosis have at some point been mistaken for being drink.

Now I know of one incident where this was the case some years ago. And my mother in law who suffered from Motor Neurone Disease would appear drunk after one glass of wine. But I don’t know how common it actually is.

But my question is “Has anyone ever mistaken you for being drunk because of your MS?”

Why?

Well we are planning on running an anti-discrimination campaign after MS Awareness Week has finished and would like to get as much hard information as possible.

It would be great if you could share any stories about discriminatory behaviour against you , due to your MS, in the comments section below.

Thanks very much for your help with our campaign.
