My Peyronies started about half way through school. At the time it started my very crappy school decided to switch all of our classes from 16 weeks to 8 weeks. While this would have been fine for the most business courses graphic design etc. doing engineering courses in 8 weeks with advanced physics, calculus, and electronics courses is simply brutal leaving almost 0 time for error or trouble understanding a topic. Not to mention you cram everything so you forget what you learned making the high level classes almost useless. Adding work on top of that is even more brutal. Adding peyronies on top of all seemed just too unfair. I am relieved I made it to the end. But I swear I never would have had this stupid problem if it wasn't for school deciding to make us work at an unreasonable pace. it forced me to sit down longer(0 days off during the school year) be more stressed, and set unreasonable goals for ourselves. I believe a combo of bad eating habits, stress, and lack of physical exercise was the cause of my peyronies. Not to mention I get back pain and neck spasms now. I will try to get money back from the school as I can almost garuntee things would have been different.  

I guess I'm happy to graduate and never see that school again. I can finally move on and focus on myself(although I'm 2 weeks away still which is actually 1/4th of the class lol). I am happy I pushed myself to continue the task at hand. Having this continued pain physically and emotionally has taken a toll on me and I'm burning out badly.

For anyone going through this as hard as it is do not put your life on hold because of peyronies. Maybe your love life will need to pause (as mine did) but I am happy that I at least continued. While school may have been a secondary cause of my problem. I'm happy I didn't let the Peyronies problem create other problems such as not having a job or wasting the money I had already put down on attending college. For everyone out there who is struggling keep pushing... that's all we can do. I hope to get rid of my pain one day now that I can focus on relaxing a bit. Having said that I'm not outta the woods yet and I'm going back to work as soon as I leave the toilet lol.  

This was something I felt I needed to share as it was a very challenging problem for me. Many kids with health problems jhst tell the professor and they are understanding. For me it is a very small school and I work with people that know my professors and I just didn't want to share this with them which made things a bit harder on me. I really do think men at a young age with this disease deserve some kind of passes on things. Mentally and physically it can be really hard. I thought I was strong and nothing could get in the way of me until I had this. I learn to overcome it for the most part but it is still a daily challenge

Something that's been pretty hard for me is I know how excited pre peyronies me would have been for this and my life in general at this point. Unfortunately, my only thought is what am I going to do now? now that I don't have school to take over my life what will it be like? I haven't enjoyed being social sense the onset of my problem. I will have to fill my time with hobbies friends etc. but sometimes keeping me as busy as possible with work was the best thing I could do. When I'm less busy I think about things to much. Anyways just an update on my life. I plan to see dr. Eid in person now that my schedule is free and see what he thinks. I may also do pelvic floor therapy through the medical college to see if my pain can be helped via that. The things I would do for a normal sex life back

Congratulations on your graduation! You didn't quit and yes it has been a challenge but look at what you have accomplished. Peyronies has not been fun for any of us and you have had your share also. You will now start a new chapter in your life and it could seem scary but you will make through this too! As the years go by you will look back and be thankful that you did not quit on your education. Life does present us with many challenges, and being in school coupled with dealing with peyronies is a heavy burden that you did not quit on. Congrats!

I relate to much of this. Congratulations on graduating. I really wish the best for you, this condition is not an easy thing to deal with, brutally difficult tbh, but things will get better one day I promise you, many become severely downbeat and negative, sometimes even suicidal, I want everyone to remember that if you keep on going, things can change drastically when you least expected it, that is a part of life.

Thank you - Yeah I feel that it's nice to know that I'm not the only one feeling this way. Yup you can't give up there's no point if you do and things will just be even worse. Just gotta keep hoping for the best

Congratulations on your graduation!

Yes, it's a tough road to be on.  Always remember it's hurtles in life not roadblocks!  That even includes Peyronies Disease!  We're all here.
