I have a problem when it comes to sharing the diagnosis at work. My tremor is becoming more evident as time passes and my neurologist doesn't want to prescribe anything until I am assessed at the Movement Disorders Clinic (where I have an appointment in a month from now.) My immediate supervisor is aware of what is going on and is very supportive. However, a number of people want to know why I have resigned from a couple of high profile, high stress (volunteer) positions at work. One of these people is a persistent person who wants all the "dirt" on anything and everything. She is probably The Primary Source of gossip and is also prone to catastrophizing things. I have tried to go with the "personal circumstances" or "medical issues" route, but it doesn't always work. And I want to be honest as well as desiring to educate people about PD. Got any good suggestions??? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
