Afternoon, Interested in views as to whether people should tell / have told their employer? Started a new role quite recently and am unsure whether to say something.

It happened on Sunday. Some of our oldest friends were hosting a BBQ starting at noon and I decided that walking to their house (around a mile away, without using the rollator but taking it along for a sit down) was a good plan. As you may recall I've been working with a Personal Trainer, albeit for not very long, but felt…
In addition to having RA and Fibromyalgia for 19years I'm in the process of being diagnosed with Myasthenia Travis which is a rare neurological condition which causes fluctuating muscle weakness. So the RA attacks my joints and my ligaments and now the MG attacks my nerves and muscles. Yay me :( It all started a couple of…
