You are under no obligation to disclose your medical condition to your co-workers -- even if you disclose your condition to your employer.

However:

  • Your relationships with your co-workers may suffer if you start taking time off, or show fatigue or weight loss or other side effects without some reasonable explanation.
  • It is stressful to keep a secret. The more important the secret, the greater the stress.

Co-workers are not obligated to keep your information a secret.

Choose carefully who, and what, you tell. Once words are spoken, you can't take them back.

Whether you tell or not, start keeping a work journal about events at work that either show how well you are doing your job or that could seem to be discrimination or harassment.
