Resolved Question

I have rheumatoid arthritis. I am in a lot of pain and am very fatigued, but this past week I missed a few days work for the first time in over a year. My boss told people who had no need or right to know about the disease and the treatment I was having. I get along with her very well ordinarily, but now I feel betrayed. I have my own reasons for not wanting people to know - right or wrong. I don't want well meaning people asking me how I feel all the time. I just like to keep my mind off it as much as possible when I'm at work. Now I will also have to listen to all the well meaning helps and cures people will tell me about. Everyone always knows about a pill, a cream or a diet that will cure this auto immune disease. They also think I need to hear about Uncle Bob who had no legs and perservered. I am well aware that lots of people are worse off than me and I am not sitting on a pity pot. I have an excellent support system and do not want to talk to anyone at work about this

You can sue that person for giving out your personal information especially your medical condition. That is against the law. I also have Rheumatoid arthritis and I want to tell you that I am impressed that you are still working. My pain is worse cause I don't take medicines. When the ad said "can cause death" I knew that I would never risk my life to handle the pain. It's not worth it. But anyway like I said seek legal ramifications against your employer. It is a VIOLATION of trust and disclosure.
