",kkö,kjjuhikkkjkI wonder what to do about this kind of thing. I stayed in a motel for the first time in many years. A month later I came back to the same motel and they told me I'm not their "DO NOT RENT LIST". This was horrifying. I've always maintained good relationships with the people I do business with. But Since I got MS it's been one thing after the other. I know we are protected by ADA laws but I've got so many people to sue, I can't possibly do them all.
I went on my first vacation in 17 years. It was wonderful to get on a plane again. I haven't dared traveled because of my allergies. My biggest allergy is to carpeting but dogs are second. The motel I selected was the only one that has rooms without carpeting. What I didn't know was that the motel converted the rooms to no carpet so that they could allow,dogs. It has become Dog Motel.
What happened is that I bought some cocoa butter and it required heating. The only way to heat it in the hotel room was a microwave. Once is was heated, it turn to a hot liquid. I took it out of the microwave to cool and my hands have very bad tremors so some of it spilled. It hardened on the floor so it was difficult to get off. I tried scraping some of it,but I didn't have the tools.
The motel manager was really angry. He accused me of burning candles in the room. "You used incendiary devices which is not permitted in this motel." He went on to say, "I know you like to sleep late but we do not have 24, hour room service." It was clear that he was painting an image if me as a drug addict that likes to burn candle and practice witchcraft all night and sleep all day.
When I called to make another reservation, he did not tell me I was on the "do not rent " list. I asked him if he had a room available for the dates I wanted to come and he said, "yes'" so I thought that would consist of a reservation.

It's clear that I was being discriminated against because I stagger when I walk, I slur my speech and my hands shake. And, worst of all They seemed to be painting a picture of me from a California stereotype. My hands shake, I slur my speech, my balance is terrible even with a cane, and I sleep all day. 'Sounds like a drug addict to me.'
What should I do? I tried talking to them and they are refusing to discuss it. Suing takes so much energy. I'd rather spend my time doing things I enjoy.
Is it just me or are others with MS experiencing this thing of discrimination?
