i was listening to a programme on radio 4 - i don't know if it was you they were interviewing, Baz. They were explaining about Paruresis. I thought Hallelujah, if there is such a problem for wee , there'll be the equivalent for poo, and i'm not mad and i'm not all alone with this problem. so then i went on the internet and typed in paruresis and very quickly (after about 3 clicks) reached this message board. This was a couple of years ago, I think. Since then, i have read/ heard about paruresis and toilet phobia in the media but only once in a blue moon, and never about parcopropresis on its own - because that's too taboo even for the media! so please get this condition advertised as much as possible - go on talk shows/ radio phone ins etc Having a name for it, makes it 'medical' and ok and not 'i am as batty as a fruitcake'. Thank you Baz for all your good work.
