It's so very true, they will just come up with some other reason to let you go. Ultimately it will have something to do with e or some effec that it has on your performance. I actually just did tell my supervisor about my surgery and my e (although I told her I don't really have seizures anymore except with certain types of music- which is true now that I'm medicated again and post surgery). So far so good (I told her about a week before Christmas). I wonder if I did the right thing or not, but I do consider her a friend of mine (although I also considered my last supervisor at my last job a friend too and what a mistake that turned out to be). I must admit that I do feel more vulnerable now. I wonder if it was a mistake to open my mouth or not. Guess only time will tell.
