Is anyone else having a problem learning how to conceal their medical info which they are so use to sharing while in the military?

Nice being self employed. The problem I have is if I have to cancel a day's work, trying to make up the appointments I've had to cancel.

You know, PO3 Erica Baker Crisher, I do have the same "problem." As a DA civilian, when I put in for sick leave, I feel duty bound to explain why I'm taking sick leave. I guess that's from all those years in the military. But, as you said, the leadership doesn't want to know (or even care) why I'm taking sick leave. They care about whether I will be at work or not. The reason for my absence is not their concern. The only time it becomes an issue is when a person is going to be out more than two or three days on sick leave. Then a doctor's note is required.

I just recently broke myself of the habit of writing the specific reason for my absence on sick leave. It is an adjustment.

EDIT: Here's the guidance on sick leave: "Generally, sick leave of more than three consecutive workdays should be supported by medical documentation."
