An MS Society survey found that about one-third of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) in the U.K. have kept their condition hidden from their partner, family members, employer, or work colleagues.
To help mark MS Awareness Week, observed in the U.K. April 19–25, the nonprofit organization released results from a poll of 800 MS patients about barriers to making their health status known.
“More than 130,000 people live with MS in the U.K., and we know many struggle to talk about it,” Ed Holloway, the society’s executive director of digital and services, said on a webpage about MS Week.
