Benn struggling with issues for about 3 yrs. Just been diagnosed with MS after being in limbo land. I have lesions in the brain and spinal cord. I'm suffering with R leg weakness/pain, foot drop, r arm issues, vertigo and a few other stuff, as well as congnitive stuff. I have good days and bad. I work in the ER as a tech and some days when I feel off or have a bad day I takes me longer to do things or longer to remember. I worry that one day I'll be at work doing an IV or patient care and can't use my r arm well etc.

I need advice if I should inform my boss?

I am blessed I work with Drs and nurses who understands MS but afraid my boss my think I'm a liability...any suggestions?
