I find the response of some people about this VERY REAL condition really upsetting. Like Liza says you have to open your mind a bit more.
I think it must be really hard to have this problem. I don't understand why doctor's can't simply remove their limbs or whatever they want doing. It seems like the most logical thing to be done yet they will make these people suffer instead. This is so wrong.
I would also like to correct a false assumsion about Hypocondia, that it is a mild problem that a person exadurates. My mum suffered a lot from this and was always seeing the doctor for this that and the other so when she had cancer it took a whole year before they would take her seriously. 5 days before she died they were STILL accusing her of exagurating her conditions. According to my dad they said that her being French, she was bound to make a fuss over nothing or words to that affect. So if there was nothing seriously wrong how come she died 5 days later. People don't die when there is nothing really wrong with them. And if you don't believe me about this, she's buried in West thorpe Green burial ground and the name you have to look for is Jaqueline Ryles.
Another point I'd like to make is that them wanting to be disabled isn't exactly taking anything from anyone really. They aren't hurting anybody and the fact they use services for the disabled is a good thing as it is keeping these services a live. Since services tend to close up if not enough people use them so people with BIID should be welcomed with open arms instead of people being so rude and nasty to them.
I wish there were more deafblind wannabies with the cash to buy things like the optiocon or tactaid. Thus keeping these devises alive. As unfortunately they are now extinct due to the number of totally deafblind people being so small.
