i find it annoying to me that all the people i read on the internet complaining about peyronies disease are middle aged men. they dont have it bad at all. i got peyronie’s when i was 14 years old and its so bad that its “impossible” to have sex. so basically im resigned to live a life, completely devoid of the most important thing in it. the main reason that its better to be an adult than a kid, sex. i have had no treatment done except vitamin e which did nothing because it seems like the other treatments dont do anything either.

so basically i just live with completely horrible depression that is literally impossible to cure, and find it extremely hard to put a smile on my face. i constantly find myself thinking about the other people that i see. thinking about how lucky they are, and how they at least get to have sex, which ive never had, and likely will never have. and that just makes me sick to my stomache, i know its not as bad as dying in a car crash or something before youve had sex. but i’d say its not much better either. the research that is going into finding treatment for this disease is pathetic. this is a diabilitating condition that effects hundreds of thousands of men. and seriously declines the quality of life. i hate my life, why would i like it, when im 17 years old and have to live a life completely devoid of what every other person lives for.

    In 85 I ruptured three disks in my back. Was told 17% of serious back injuries create sexual problems due to pinched nerve damage. Sure as h***, I’ve had problems for yrs from it. [more..]

  • Verapamil injections - by Lyle Wammer - (Fri, Mar 14 2008)
    I want to strongly advise against verapamil injections. I was told by my health care practitioner that while a cure could not be guaranteed, there was no adverse risks involved. This turned out to be completely false. [more..]
  • No Where to Turn - by Wimpy - (Wed, Mar 05 2008)
    It is a fate as bad as death. If you are 60 years old, and still have a strong sex drive, there is nothing you can do. Even with Viagra, the erection is not good. [more..]
