Hello all,

I want to thank everyone on this site for all the useful information members have been so gratiously supplying.

Initially I logged online and spent time reviewing the site. Eventually I made an appointment with a Urologist who was not well versed in Peyronies Disease. I then went to another Urologist who said he specializes in Peyronies Disease. He gave me some answers. I learned I had 50 degree gradual dorsal curve which he said gave me two options - Xiaflex or plication surgery. I felt like I was being pressed after a twenty minute ultrasound down the road for Xiaflex.

At that point I leaned back on this forum and learned of Dr. Hakim in Weston. Since then I have been to him and he did an ultrasound and his opinion was that since the curve was a gradual sweep and not a hard bend he felt that I should go with Interferon Alpha injections. He feels that I should see an improvement using this procedure. He said many insurance companies will not cover and that he would assist me in securing the coverage which he in fact did - I am now set for the first shot in a series of six consecutive shots over a period of 3 months at 2 week intervals.

I am cautiously optimistic that I am doing the right thing, however I am finding myself getting more and more nervous as the time nears.  Which brings me to the main purpose of the posting.  Has anyone had these shots recently? What was your outcome? What questions should I address? In your experience is there any specific items I should address prior to the injections?

Guys, again thanks for all the support given through this board. I look forward for all input! Respectfully SOMANYQUESTIONS
