Iain Clark, a former police officer, kept his multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms a secret for over a decade out of fear of losing his job. He experienced numbness and mobility issues, but continued to work while hiding his condition. Eventually, his symptoms returned, leading to a diagnosis of secondary progressive MS.
