Hi everyone... I've been posting on here for yonks, although not recently, and have both a query and a request. First, the query. Is it really true that more men than women suffer from AP? Second, the request. I wish that men (for it is usually the men) wouldn't post this fact (assuming it is one) into women's posts. New women find this message board, find the courage to post about their problem but in getting an answer are often hearing that it is more common in men...this could make some women feel that they are even more feakish than they already might be feeling. So, my request is...please don't mention that it might be more unusual in women (assuming it is) as it really has nothing to do with the women's issues as I see it. OK, rant over, and I'm sorry if I upset anyone. Just had to get it off my chest. ps: Andrew, I don't think I've ever seen you do this in a post....
