Hello Rick: I look at this site quite a bit but have not posted for ages. As no-one had yet reply/welcomed you and your post is very recent I thought you might be "checking back" so I felt drawn to make a rare posting. I have been sufferer of this since I was 6. I remember vividly asking to go out to the toilet during a lesson at school and the boys' toilets were empty. For some strange reason, up to that point I was unaware that urinals had auto-flush! Dummy!!! Standing ready to "go" at slab-type urinal the flush started and scared the life out of me! I kept the incident to myself at school but mentioned it to my Mum who asked by big bro to explain/confirm what all the "water coming down the walls" (as I had put it) was all about. I am pretty sure that was crucial in my own problem. I have the syndrome under reasonable control now, so there is a positive way forward. :-) . my e-mail visible - happy if you or anyone wants to make contact . I am London/Essex if anyone up for coffee/pint?
