Dear Ann Landers, am a 20- year-old male with a very embarrass-ing problem. It is also depressing be-cause I can't talk to anyone about it. Please don't tell me to go to my doctor because it is not medical. And I hope you won't suggest a shrink. Even though I know the problem is all in my head, I don't think it warrants psychi-atric treatment. I have what is commonly referred to as "a bashful kidney." I simply cannot urinate unless I have complete privacy. Is there anything I can do about this? Can I cure myself? I'd appreciate some advice.
Hi! It's Margo here. I'd love to know what you think of the letters -- and the answers!
Also, any additional thoughts you might have. Thanks!

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.
