I noticed there is a lawyer on here who may have some expertise or advice on this as well as others on here who have dealt with this.
I am newly diagnosed with MS and I know at the end of the year my employer will see a ton of money spent on my health care through insurance. Questions may be asked. While they will not know exactly for what, my question is do I tell them or not?
For now, my answer is no...it's none of their business and I work at a satellite office with no other employees where my employer does not know the amount of time spent in doctor's offices or all of the symptoms I am having. I did tell my boss at one time that I was having numbness and possibly sciatica and that I would be taking some time to see doctors; mainly for a heads-up in case he tried to reach me and I was unavailable.
So what advice do you recommend and how did you handle it? My symptoms have been relatively mild except for numbness....but I have had ome lack of focus issues which cause me to spend 2-3x as much time checking my work as normal. Still awaiting first treatment....hopefully that alleviates some of this soon.
TIA
