Hi Ginger,
Thanks for your comment. I agree it's environmentally induced, and your suggestion is interesting, but I think it's something else. It happens at our apartment in Aachen, Germany whether I'm alone in the building or not, whether my wife's home or not, and regardless of work, holidays, mood, etc., but I'm fine when staying anywhere else, eg our other home in England, my relatives' home in New Zealand, a hotel, my in-laws in Bavaria, a friends' apartment in Berlin, etc etc. I suspect it could be to do with volatile organic compounds, from the plastic-based floorboards, or some weird psychological response to being home in Aachen.

I've been wondering about this type of connection myself. I have MCS and am very sensitive to urethane especially. And, I now have Urinary Retention.....I've tried tamsulosin (didn't work) and am now trying Cialis....we'll see. However, I notice that when I'm in certain environments I'm more likely to have the urge to pee and have wondered if my bladder and my sensitivities are connected to UR.

@rayjg Could it be the set-up of the bathroom, perhaps, the actual layout of the facility? The comfort of being home, of knowing you can do this on your own timeframe, familiarity of the procedure and time required? Still thinking on this, is it such a "bad thing", something that you can live with, with yourself?
