New job.

I’m looking for a new job and I’m wondering when and how do you tell your new employers about your condition. I found out about my RRMS whilst working at my current job so they know. But how to explain myself to people at a new workplace? Thanks.

I recently got a new job and I was upfront with them from the start. I let them know my current limitations and what I could or could not do. I believe me being upfront with my condition helped me out. Also, my mother works there and was honest with them about me. I think honesty really helped me out.

I believe you are not obligated to disclose your diagnosis of multiple sclerosis to a prospective employer. If you feel well, MS will not impact on your ability to work.
