When's the right time to disclose #multiplesclerosis at work? How do you tell your boss you have MS? Should you even have to?🤔

As part of #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek we're sharing 'Circle of Truth' which explores disclosure of MS at work.

This week is #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek.

MS can have many symptoms - not everyone will experience all of them, and some symptoms can be hidden. Let's raise awareness - please RT!

Here's an overview of the signs and symptoms of MS: https://t.co/ORqOx0YrFq #UnseenMS
