For me personally, talking about my MS symptoms at work was really hard. I would shy away from talking about it and would always feel that I couldn’t say anything as others wouldn’t understand.
I was very wrong!
My boss has been an incredible support to me and has managed to make me feel at ease especially discussing sensitive matters concerning bladder functions and vision issues. I was particularly concerned about an upcoming work trip where I would have to be on my feet all day but discussing this, we came up with a perfect reasonable adjustment where I will not feel “the odd one out”.
She really has made my MS journey at work so much easier and I’m so very grateful.
