What to do at work
Talk to your employer before your condition noticeably affects your ability to do your job. What you can do:
- Find out if you can switch to a position that better suits your change in abilities.
- Make sure you and your spouse, partner or caregiver understand your work-related benefits. Find out whether your workplace has an employee assistance program.
- Explore benefits you may get through the Americans with Disabilities Act, Family and Medical Leave Act, and COBRA.
- If you feel overwhelmed, consider reducing your hours or taking time off.
