I have not told my boss that I have MG either. It is really not any of her business as long as I am able to do my job. Even though it is illegal for them to discriminate, I think that it would certainly happen on some level. If I get to the point that I have to have accommodations to continue working, then I will have to have a discussion with my administrators.

I have noticed students staring at my eyes on occasion. I also sometimes lose my voice while lecturing. I just give them a break and try again. I have one coworker that continues to comment on my gait. He asks me why I am limping. It is none of his business, so I just say, "I fell off of too many horses in my life." I don't even notice when my gait is abnormal unless my feet start to catch or drag, so it is really annoying that he tries to point out my problems. I avoid him whenever possible.
