IC in the Workplace!

 IC can’t be left at home, so dealing with it in the workplace is a given for employed ICers. Some bosses and co-workers are compassionate and some aren’t. No special formula exists to deal with co-workers, but there are some things to keep in mind. Since IC can take so long to diagnose, some patients must involve their co-workers before they know what’s wrong.

Inevitably, there will be some bosses and co-workers who won’t understand. Though some co-workers are sympathetic, the boss is far from it. Mostly, people who are understanding and sympathetic in general are more likely to be that way in dealing with IC. But those who lack understanding are going to be the same way in dealing with the situations.
