good morning @rnm would you like to share more about where you live , what you do, how large is your company , how far is your commute , how old are you ? How are feeling after one month ?
I worked in a small bioTech company and told everyone there my diagnosis. I sent them some of the manuscripts that I found useful. In fact, in general I shared this site : PMRandyou.com with just about everyone in order to spread awareness. Turns out my cousin had PMR , my ex-boss had GCA and a friend also still has PMR !
When at a suboptimal dose of Prednisone, we were planning for me to take a medical leave of Absence -which I did end up doing. This requires help from HR ( in Massachusetts anyway).

I used to check in with the just the three women in my company as I described here :

And I drew this on the white board before I left work , hoping to give them a good laugh!

Also here was another recent conversation about working and PMR : https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/pmr-and-work/

I work full time. I don’t discuss personal issues with colleagues in general. 🤷🏼‍♀️
