Do you share your medical information with your boss?

That's a really good question. I'm self employed with three business partners. I have chosen to conceal my condition from my clients and most of the people who work in my office. I did tell one partner because I need him to be able to set in to my job if things don't go as I hope they will. Im don't want my clients to know because I was really sick 2 years ago for a different condition and I was out of work for 10 weeks. I don't want them to be looking for another adviser.
Because I'm self employed I didn't have to ask off work. If I were employed I would have had to tell my supervisor but I would have asked her to keep it confidential.
Like I said it a good question.

@denisestlouie I didn't include this in my earlier post but I also didn't share my health information with coworkers or anyone else who was in any way connected with my place of employment. That's because, even when you tell that information in confidence to someone like a coworker, it sometimes has a way of "getting out." There's no guarantee that what you tell in confidence will remain confidential. So, I never took chances.
