Paramedicine with MS

Hi guys, I have always wanted to be a paramedic (am currently an RN) but have recently been tentatively diagnosed with MS. I am wondering if anyone has successfully gained employment as a paramedic with a known diagnosis of MS or whether I need to put this dream to bed. Thank you :)
