Hello all, this is my first post here.  I've been suffering from an undiagnosed case of Peyronies Disease for about five years now.  After reading the information on this site I have decided to revisit my urologist since I am now certain.  The one thing that has helped prevent me most from giving up on life has been my prescription to Zoloft.  I am taking the generic brand of this which is called Sertraline.  It is an anti-anxiety/anti-dreppresent.  At first it made me feel crappy but overtime the mental haziness dissipated and I found that it somehow helped me to ignore the terrible and constant pain in my pelvic-floor muscles (my dick from head to anus.)  Mostly it helped to reduce my urinary frequency from how I clench those muscles when I feel that pain.  That was incredibly helpful because early on I was peeing every 15 minutes. Something else to help with that feeling is to sit or lie down with your legs splayed like in a butterfly stretch.  It allows me to more easily relax those muscles.   The second most helpful thing has been stretching.  When that area is especially tense such as when I'm nervous or after masturbation or sex, it is extremely helpful to do long stretches with my legs and back.  What has been fantastic for me is a stretch where I reach for my toes and try to lower my head as far as possible at the same time.  When trying this you should feel a dull pain between your anus and scrotum.  Once you can feel that hold the position for at least 20 seconds.  I swear it may be uncomfortable and slightly painful but you'll feel so much better afterward.  Another thing is to try and increase blood flow to your penis, even if only for a short time.  Try to arouse yourself and retain an erection for as long as you can but DO NOT cause yourself to ejaculate.  I find actually masturbating to make my symptoms much worse.  Since many if not all people here have erectile disfunction issues as well, I've been experimenting with various methods to improve that.  I'm currently taking Cialis on days my girlfriend and I will probably be having sex, but that hasn't always been enough.  Sex is another occasion where relaxing, both physically and mentally could help you.  If you and a girl are about to have sex and you notice that you don't have an erection DO NOT PANIC.  Try to prolong the foreplay, she will certainly enjoy that.  If you still can't seem to get hard.  Tell her it's not her fault.  Unless she's a bitch she will be patient.  Just keep making her feel good and don't rush yourself.  Lately I've found that relaxing the muscles of the penis helps.  Try to relax them to the point where you feel like you might pee, but obviously be very careful not to.  Sometimes having a full bladder can keep you from pre-maturely ejaculating although it could also stop you from getting hard.  Anyway that's off topic for this section.  One last suggestion, when you do masturbate be gentle and don't rush it.  Make sure you have a full erection before you cum.  This reduces later discomfort and speeds recovery.

Thanks for the welcome.  Just discovering this site has already had a huge positive impact on my attitude.  As for the extra information you wanted, would you prefer I post it in the self-introduction section?  It seems like you're asking me to elaborate on my condition as a whole.

As a fourteen year old I obsessed over sex.  There was nothing I thought of more often.  I was addicted to masturbation and fantasies.  Not only did I masturbate everyday but multiple times a day, orgasming sometimes as many as four times a session.  It was like heroin. However by the end of eighth grade I began to notice my orgasms being replaced by a numb feeling and a cold aching pain with painful sensitivity that could last for days.  Additionally I felt the infuriating need to pee at all times unless I was actually peeing in that moment.  I now know this was caused by how I clenched the muscles in my penis due to the pain.  My mother took me to a series of Urologists after I finally had the courage to bring up the topic of my penis to my own mom.  Even though I expressed concern that I had damaged tissues in my penis, for some reason they all focused on searching my teenage bladder and prostate.  Moreover they suggested it was all in my head which was the worst possible thing anyone could have said.  I was now bitter and hopeless.  At 15 I believed I would never have sex or be in a lasting relationship.  I was convinced I would be alone, impotent, and in pain for the rest of my life.  At times I considered suicide as and end to my miserable existence.  There was no one I could talk to, they just said it was probably all in my head.  I felt broken and ashamed.  In my own mind I was like a pathetic neutered dog.  For five years I knew only that I was the only one with this problem.  That there was no solution, no cure, no end to the pain and embarrassment.  Somehow I made it out of highschool alive after a failed sexually disfunctional relationship.  The girl cheated on me but how could I blame her when I couldn't even get it up for her?  I'm now in college and have a beautiful girlfriend whom I love and I am so grateful for this.  We're working together to solve my problem and i've made progress.  With the help of Cialis and some patience on her end, sex is now possible.  Granted it is not nearly as pleasurable to me as it is supposed to be.  Just a fews days ago i searched the web on a whim and found this site.  It feels so amazing to know there are treatments and that I'm not the only one.  I've already bought coQ10 and vitamins based on posts here and am adding them to my usual cialis, stretches, and workouts.  No one should have to go through what I did.  I'm just glad I found the woman I'm in love with and the people on this site who seem to care about each-other.

P.S.
The coQ10 pills contain 100mg coQ10 + 20mg Acetyl L Carnitine.  I intend to take two a day.  The bottle says to take with a full stomach but does it matter?   By the way I will be seeing a urologist soon and am considering asking for a prescription of Pentoxifylline since I've only read good things about it

You can open a new topic in "Introduce Yourself", but I think it will be better to post on this topic your Peyronies history/condition so your first post will be better understood.
