I know what you mean.On first reading it does sound rather "unbelievable" but I checked it out as I wanted to explore a little more and sure enough it is right there...and seemingly unpleasant.Unless all these health websites are trying to lead us all a merry dance...[which I am sure they are not] then it is to be taken seriously.

However...[and Vicky...I mean this as no disrespect to you and I`m not trying to demean you or undermine this thread] but my whacky sense of humour just kicked in as I was poNdering on what you said Theresa about how they get these names.

And I am just so glad it was a Mr Parkinson,and NOT a Mr Pratt...or Mr R . Sole who had discovered OUR disease.

"What exactly is wrong with you then Steffi?"
"Well er...it`s like this...I have what you call ARSEHOLE DISEASE!!!! "

Whoops..time to crawl back in my lavatorial hole...OH...HOLE !!!

Hugs Vicky...keep smiling
