I hesitate to send anything - you have been fighting this so much longer than me, but if it helps, I am 40, fairly advanced with something (they said pd, then not, but I am on Vicodin, sinemet, sinemetcr , Mirapex and ultram to control symptoms) Anyway, I have experienced the release problem you asked about, don't have any good answers besides the obvious, and my prostrate is fine, just had it checked. However, with as many friends and family I know of getting prostrate cancer, get him in for a checkup regardless (I do feel sorry for all those cows I palpated now......) It is embarrassing, but that beats the hell out of a colostomy. bob
