Working while on tx

I'm wondering how it is for those that keep/kept working while on tx.  Wondering if your employer or co-workers knew and if you're managing to hide it if you didn't tell anyone.  I'm working through the scenarios while awaiting bx results, making use of the time to decide which way I'll go depending, but I hope to keep working.  I guess that's a very individual thing depending on each person's circumstances.  Did anyone do this without their employer knowing anything at all or am I being incredibly over-optimistic?

  I worked my whole tx and never told my employer. I told one co-worker that I work with alot and she was very understanding and helpfull. It wasn't anything we discussed regularly but I'm sure she knew when I was having a hard time.   I wouldn't have trusted my bosses not to screw me around as I've seen it happen to others at my job. Plus, I wanted to keep working if I could . I don't know what I would have done with myself otherwise. ( not to mention I would have been broke!)   Everyone is different with the sides of the tx and you won't know till you treat.  Take care,    -Libby
