Interesting perspective
Glad I have been following this post

If you fulfill the job requirements, I would not bring up MG at an interview. If they were to research it, they would see red flags on hiring you, due to the uncertainty of the disease, and although they should not hold this against you, there are ways around it. I have always gotten comfortable in any of my new positions, then slowly let coworkers know about my MG past struggles-complete remission since 1988. They call it remission, not cured. Good luck in your job quest.

Prior to MG, I was working in a large corporation and did a fair amount of recruiting work in addition to my regular job. Based on what I saw behind the scenes, here are my thoughts.

Agree with the others that, assuming you can do the job as described/required, I would not disclose your medical status during interviews. This would leave you open to discrimination (technically, if you suspected this happened, you could file a lawsuit - but who with MG has energy for that?).

HOWEVER, if you receive a formal job offer (written, not just verbal), I would disclose that you have a condition that requires periodic doctor appointments (or whatever it is you think you will need in terms of accommodations for the MG). It may make sense to familiarize yourself with protections afforded under the ADA law and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Unless and until you get to a point where you have deep trust in your employer and/or coworkers, I would not disclose more than is necessary, as it can be a subconscious factor in how you are viewed as a worker, can impact which assignments or responsibilities you're given, can influence your performance reviews, etc.

This website has some good info written for employers on what they can and can't ask about medical conditions - it's geared towards small businesses but I think it applies for all US employers. http://smallbusiness.chron.com/can-employers-ask-medical-conditions-4789.html

This post, by a lawyer, has even more info on specific medical questions companies CANNOT ask during interviews, and what they CAN ask when you've been offered the job. http://www.workingworld.com/articles/ask-a-lawyer-should-i-disclose-a-medical-condition-during-a-job-interview

Finally, here are some links to learn about more on these topics from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission: http://www.eeoc.gov/employers/index.cfm

Good luck on your job search! :)

thanks guys! your replies and thoughts about this particular topic helped me alot. Im less confused now lol.

copperzincbear, like annkemp said, that is an interesting perspective. I mean let's face it, employers can fret over the smallest things when looking for people to work for them. Even though I know that I can do the work even with mg, they are still going to assume that i cant, just because i have a disorder.

whales86, yeah, seeing a doctor without telling your boss that you're sick is a problem. if i could get it done on weekends i would so i dont have to tell my employers. (but given the schedule of doctors, its kinda impossible)

klinker, thats a good idea! i have issues in disclosing my mg with superiors, since i know theyd use that to look down on me. But i think its better to at least tell one coworker (who you can trust 101% about your mg)

philosophress, thanks so much for the links! and youre right, i wouldnt want to be discriminated even though i know that i could do the job. Sometimes itll be nice if my mg isnt connected to what people would think of me lol.

This is all great info. I'll hv to do some research to see if I can find a weekend nurse or center. Honestly I didn't even this of that

I recently told my employer (for about six years now) because I had become symptomatic after years in remission (I'd actually ALMOST forgotten I ever had any problems in the past and begun to doubt the previous diagnosis).

I'm in the UK and we have pretty strong anti-discrimination legislation here. If the MG symptoms cause what is considered in law a disability, then employers have to make what is called "reasonable adjustments" to accommodate your disability at work. In my case, I'm able to work form home, rest when I need to, take time out for appointments etc. The nature of my jobs permits that.

Over here there is no legal obligation to tell employers you have MG (just like who knows which of my colleagues have Diabetes, or are cancer survivors, or or or..) but if they don't know, they cant "reasonably adjust" for you if you are ill.

So I told them because my symptoms mean work was becoming difficult and dealing with MG, for me, means not "pushing on through" regardless!

Maybe there's similar "disability discrimination" considerations in the US?
