Hi.  I am 36 and have been diagnosed with peyronie's for about 3 years.  I went and saw a urologist who gave me verapamil injections that did nothing.  He referred me to a peyronie's specialist who recommended xiaflex but my insurance won't pay for it.  I'm not sure what to do at this point.  I have a plaque at the base of my penis and the curvature is more than 30 degrees.  I don't remember getting injured.  I have a hard time masturbating and am not sure if I can have sex because I am single, but I would guess not.  I guess my strategy is to just live with this disease the best I can.  I signed up for OkCupid but dating feels impossible.  Also, it's hard to find support because the disease is so embarrassing.  I am totally on my own on this.  The problem isn't so severe that it makes me suicidal but it's a bummer.  I hope somebody famous comes out with having it so it'll be easier to talk about.

Shop around for better Insurance before they change the preexisting conditions law.  
5 Rounds of Xiaflex. Good results.

I am known to give out false information and post nonsense with little to no evidence to back up my claims.
I have ignored several warnings. Further reports to the moderators or Administrators and I will be banned.

Your doc should work with the insurance company to get you covered.  If you have a 30 degree or larger curve and they put it through the insurance to treat peyronies (not ED), I understand you should not be denied.  If so, appeal.  You've found the right place for support-keep us posted.
