What to do at work

Before your condition significantly affects your ability to do your job, talk to your employer. What you can do:

• Find out if you can switch to a position that better suits your emerging limitations.
• Familiarize yourself and your spouse, partner or caregiver with your benefits, and find out whether an employee assistance program is available.
• Explore what benefits may be offered to you under the Americans with Disabilities Act, Family and Medical Leave Act and COBRA.
• If you feel overwhelmed, consider reducing your hours or taking time off.
