Congratulations! I wonder whether I shall ever be as courageous as to tell one single person about my BIID. It was fine for a couple of months, but now it hit me again... I knew it. Still I\'m thinking of selling my wheelchair. I\'m not too sure whether it improved anything for me. Although everything in my flat is pretty accessible. I never dared to show up in public with it. I admire you for your honesty! That is marvellous. Congratulations! I wonder whether I shall ever be as courageous as to tell one single person about my BIID.

In the region that I live in; sign language, amongst deaf/Deaf individuals is not a popular way of communication. Chloe! You're quite more courageous than I am! Forty people? For me, perhaps in forty years I may tell one more person!

For me it has made a huge difference in dealing with BIID to have a partner who is always on my side about this. I am very grateful for that. It has also given me the courage to tell more than forty friends and family about it. I think they tend to react in a more positive way because my partner is so supportive. So far only one friendship has been damaged by this. I consider that a small price to pay for the love and kindness shown to me by the forty others.

I'm glad things went well. It's so good to be able to not have to hide such a huge part of yourself. Are you and your partner going to take sign language classes? Seems like it would be a great common activity :) Hey Dante! I’m glad things went well.
