Interesting quesiton
I am in a unique situation. I work at a very large hospital. I am not clinical, but have worked the same job for 13 years with a group of nurses (Clinical by default, lol). They were the ones, in 2008, to tell me I needed to go get my blurry eye checked out. I was at work when a resident called from the eye clinic to tell me my MRI came back looking like MS, which we never discussed. Once I got over the shock and bewilderment, I just accepted it and created a "new normal". I was blessed to not have to hide it because my coworkers understand my limitations. I was blessed to work at a hospital that had all types of specialists, so, I was able to see a neuro opthomologist right away. I call it my disease when I do have to explain it to others. I've never hidden it.
