So when looking for a job and applying and interviewing, do you tell them about your IBD?
Personally, it depends on the job. For instance there is one that I just interviewed for and they asked me if I would have any trouble traveling. I said not really and then I explained my situation with UC and Remicade and how it’s something I can work around. I’m nervous though. I don’t know if...
