Just diagnosed

After some blackouts (drop attacks) and real paralysis of left side - as well as months of mind fogginess and memory issues - I was diagnosed yesterday.

A sense of relief is coupled with fear of what comes next. I am a teacher and I am concerned that employers do not see this as the disability it is. Are (local authority) employers understanding?

I want to hear other peoples stories. I feel that some do not believe how debilitating this can be.

Thank you
