The one place I keep things on the q.t. is at work, or in my case, looking for work. My medical history is none of an employer's business, and it's my story to tell or not as I choose. I've found absolutely NO advantage to discussing my illness with prospective employers---I got burned badly once by disclosing, and I won't make that mistake again.
I found that if an employer is self-insured, your medical history is there business. But I really did not care at the time.
