I agree I wouldn't mention it until I felt like it was necessary, when I was diagnosed I didn't tell anyone at my job right away, however as time went by I started telling people I was comfortable with. When I meet a new potential soulmate I would tell them sometimes on the first time we get together if it went well and that's because I want my potential soulmate to know that I have a medical condition that could cause multiple things to happen to me. I personally feel like if you are looking for a long-term relationship that that person has the right to know what could happen so that they can decide if they want to deal with it if something does happen.

I would not tell them at all. My employer started acting like a jack*@@ when she found out. There is no rule or law that requires you to tell them. Some employer will try and use it against you.
