I'm a 34 year old female and my ms was diagnosed yesterday. You will all know the mixed feelings when you are told so I won't go on about that. I am a teacher and am due to start a new job in 2 weeks. This job, however, is a temporary contract so i'll have to apply for jobs to start in january around october time. I was wondering if employers knew you had ms would they be more reluctant to employ you? I've been having symptoms on and off for about 3 years and the 'attacks' I suffer at the moment include not being able to walk very far. I've no doubt that at the current time I can manage my work as a teacher, but i'm also aware that symptoms are unpredictable. I'm just having a short course of steroids at the moment and am on no other medication. Anyone got any advice about applying and interviews etc?
