Hi Tom As Mike W says, the problem gets worse due to the way we AP's cope with it - i.e. trying to empty more often than we really need to. You are lucky in that unlike the majority of APs in the country, you have found the UKPT website. Take the time to read all the good stuff there is here, and keep posting your thoughts on the discussion board. Ask Andrew to send you a pamphlet which you can show to your doctor. He may already know about the condition, but it won't hurt to back it up. Don't be shy of telling your Doctor. He needs to run tests to determine if you have a physical problem underlying this. Once you know there is no serious medical condition, do consider enrolling on a workshop. See the references to workshops on the discussion board from people who have been on them before. It could really help But the best thing is you now know you are amongst friends. Friends who will help you overcome this nasty condition and let you get on with your life. Colin
