I have faced this situation, but in a slightly different way. I have a chronic illness (type 1 diabetes). It is not commonly recognised, but this can have a temporary detrimental affect on my ability to perform at 100%. It is plain common sense for me to ensure that my workmates are aware of my condition, but this of course leads to the necessity to also tell my employers.

I always mention it in the interview and have never received an obvious negative response. We have very strong laws here in Australia controlling that sort of thing. My part of the unspoken bargain is that I must minimise the risk of having a problem by keeping myself healthy.

It's a symbiotic relationship.
