Hi Lanny You are seeking opinion/experience on when to tell your employer “I have PD”. Here is a brief account of my recent work experience which I share with you in the hope that it may help you in deciding what is appropriate in your circumstance. I finished working in May 1998 after struggling on for about two years beyond diagnosis. I told my immediate boss early on that I had PD. An opportunity had arisen quite naturally when Ali was being discussed after lighting the Olympic flame. I simply said that I had the same problem as Ali. Months later I was pleased that I had done so as my bosses boss asked him if I was on drugs. My boss was able to say yes and that he already knew about it. My boss had suggested that I not let others know. I followed his suggestion. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or want more detail or whatever whenever whyever.
