Disclosing Illness to Employer: Any Advice?

Has anyone here ever dealt with disclosing your illness to an employer? I work in the corporate world and would really like to be able to discuss my illness more publicly but really fear the backlash at my job. I know legally they can’t discriminate but that’s not the real world of the industry I am in and it’s at the very least potentially “frowned upon.” I would love some insight if anyone has faced anything similar.

I know the struggle.. I think you really need to know someone before feeling comfortable enough to share with them about your disorder. If you're not 100% sure how they'll react, it's probably too soon. That's my two cents anyway :-)
