If it has a substantial effect on your ability to carry out normal day to day activities it is covered by the Equality Act. See gov.uk/definition-of-disabi... . Whoops! Didn't realise it was from the same person. I thougth it strange getting two similar posts.
One of my colleagues has Graves Disease and TED and is still unstable on carbimazole after three years. Her endo appointments are about six months apart, so she is swinging from hyper to hypo all the time. However, since she was diagnosed in October 2012, she has not missed a day's work and, although her performance is not always spot on, she is managing.
Our employer has offered flexible working and a referral to Occupational Health and she has declined both saying they are not needed. However, if she had felt she needed the support, it was there for her.
