[quote=Anonymous]I agree you shouldn't tell coworkers too much. The reality is a lot of chronic illnesses aren't well understood and people think they are made up, not that serious, or malingering. However, you should inform your HR and boss(es) once you have a diagnosis, in writing. You can let them know at this time you do not need any accommodations or FMLA but will inform them if that changes and encourage them to talk to you if they have any concerns. The reason for this is just them knowing provides some level of job protection or recourse if you are unfairly fired. There is more to it, but there is protection that kicks in under the ADA just by virtue of your employer knowing you have a condition or suspecting you have a condition. It never hurts to have a little hedge against unfair employment practices. [/quote]
