Hi, Gus
One thing we could do is suggest a prompt and invite people to respond to the prompt. For example, a prompt like this:
"In the weeks and months following my PN diagnosis, I'd hoped to keep my condition to myself (other than to one or two family members), not letting friends and colleagues know that I was in pain or telling them that my wonky way of walking was merely fatigue. I was determined for people to see me as the person they'd always known. Today, however, many months (perhaps even many years) since my diagnosis, I sometimes wonder why I tried so hard to hide my PN from my friends and colleagues. After all, who was I fooling?"
If I were asked to respond to a prompt like that, I'd have oodles to say! 🙂
