I bow to your knowledge and experience on this subject Andrew and perhaps it is slight frustration that I write this but I speak as I find about the medical profession.Although I've been on your courses and very good they were too,unfortunately by trying the therapies I have found little improvement on my condition ,perhaps at 62 old habits die hard.I consider we who visit this website must be the tip of the iceberg and I feel for the poor souls below us still thinking that they must be the only person in the world that has this problem,how many suicides,ruined lives are caused by this problem?I am fortunate in having a loving and supportive wife and along with my catheter I manage quite well.Well what of the future for the minority like me who don't respond well to therapy?I think that the medical profession will develop a procedure where electrodes are attached to the prostrate sphincter to open it when a charge is administered ,this would be controlled by the patient as and when required.Unfortunately I do not think it will be in my lifetime because of insufficient funding. However we can take comfort in the fact that I have heard that the lottery grants committee have decided to allot 3.4 million pounds to investigate the mating and sexual habits of the lesser spotted dung beetle in the orinoco river area.
