Right now, I'm feeling a bit negative but I'm sure I will get better.

Hey, brothers!

This is my journal and here I will post everything I face mentally because of my condition.

Did you use the tape or the makeup pads for comfort? How hard was the traction? How may attempts did you try this?

I tried the Restorex roughly 1 1/2 years ago, I made several attempts to apply it. I followed the directions very carefully, I actually am a health care professional with a doctor's degree. I could not manage to apply the device without it causing severe pain (not the traction, just applying the device to the penis). I did not make any further attempts. I now feel that over time, a new curvature has developed at the spot where the device clamped on.

Each man responds differently to traction therapy and the Restorex is a very well made device and clinically tested. You need to gradually ease yourself into it as you can adjust just how much tension is applied. Many men including myself have used it and have gotten a lot of improvement from it.

There is an entire forum and blog dedicated to men that have taken this awful drug. Yes there are a few that do not have any bad reactions to this. Then ask the men who have had irreversible hormone related problems from it and have had to start full hormone therapy. Oh yes and the $$$$$ that the drug companies are raking in.  I have several friends who have taken this drug and it ruined their lives. If you want to play Russian roulette with your sexual health then give it a try.

I took Finasteride for 10 years.

I stopped taking it when I developed peyronies.

10 years was a long time to take it before developing peyronies.

Last year I was having lots of vigorous sex with multiple women at orgies and sex parties.

Had I known the link to peyronies I would never have taken it.

I was under the impression that could it cause low libido and that was it. So it didn't seem to be worth worrying about.

These pharmaceutical companies aren't honest about the full side effects and play it down saying its rare when it's not the case.

Progression of Peyronies Disease / Re: Bad outcome
Last post by wwilsonS - November 01, 2024, 11:59:26 AM
I understand that you're no longer active on the forum, but I really wanted to reply to you. I'm truly sorry you're going through this—it sounds incredibly challenging.

Peyronie's disease is tough, especially since it often feels unpredictable. From what you've shared, it sounds like you've been navigating this for a while, adapting to the changes and learning to live with the discomfort, only to have it suddenly flare up. The fear of progression and the pain during what should be intimate, comforting moments are incredibly taxing, both physically and emotionally. Your concerns are completely valid, and it's understandable that you're feeling worn down by this latest development.

One thing that might help you feel more in control is working with a specialist who can closely monitor these flare-ups and perhaps adjust your treatment as your symptoms evolve. There are several newer therapies, like injections (e.g., collagenase or verapamil) and traction devices, that could potentially slow down plaque buildup or even help soften the plaques. Some people find that these, combined with lifestyle adjustments to reduce inflammation, can help manage symptoms. Also, if you haven't already, you might explore therapy options specifically designed to help process the emotional toll of a chronic condition like Peyronie's. Having someone supportive to help you cope with the mental and emotional strain can be a real anchor.

You're right that it takes a lot of strength to face something like this, and it sounds like you're doing your best to stay resilient. Try to be patient with yourself and focus on taking things one day at a time. Even though it may feel overwhelming now, there are options and ways to manage both the physical and emotional challenges.

Oral Treatments for Peyronie's Disease / Re: Cialis is working
Last post by wwilsonS - November 01, 2024, 11:55:16 AM
I completely agree with you. I also have Peyronie's, so I truly understand the challenges and frustrations that come with it. Cialis has been a great help for me as well; the increased blood flow has made a noticeable difference. Staying strong and patient is essential—this condition can be mentally tough, but letting yourself fall into stress or depression can make it even harder to manage. Just keep going and remember that progress takes time...
