> Dear Lou,
>
> I am so glad to see that you are back posting on these boards. What has it been, several months? I must say that, as always, you provide the most titilating tidbits for conversation. "One can never have enough clarity" I always say. I was wondering if you could help me with a particular problem that I have been having. Well, it seems that I have been suffering from Peyronie's Disease. Whereas I realize that this is not DIRECTLY a pyschological disorder, it DOES have rather significant pyschological implications. I was wondering, that if in your travels, you may have come across any information that could help me understand this affliction so that I would be better able to deal with it. I certainly value your ability to delve into the "hard facts" relevant to issues that others, frankly, fail to realize the importance of. Clearly, this is an issue that can use as much clarification as possible. Ergo, I am calling upon your learned resorces for any salient information that you could proffer that might assist me in better understanding this condition, and the implications thereof. I thank you in advance for the assistance that I am sure you will provide me with. And again, it's good to see you back here in the community. Best wishes to you!

How brave of you to post such intimate information about yourself. I'm sure that it must be a painful condition. If you just type the name of the illness into Google, you'll come up with quite a wealth of information.

You really should make sure you have a thorough physical. I see that there is a link to lupus? I'm sure your doctor has checked that all out, so perhaps I don't need to mention it.

I was worried for a second that you might feel more comfortable in the anonymity of the internet, but I realized that was silly of me. I'm sure you had the good sense to bring your concerns to a urologist.

Of course, I'm sure you're right. While it's not strictly a psychological problem, it probably has a fair number of psychological implications. I hope you feel safe here to share your feelings about your diagnosis. If this board is too general, I'll bet there are a lot of dedicated support boards as well. A google search should let you know that too.

Good luck, Pax.

I found this for you. I don't know if you were already aware of it.

Thanks Dinah, it IS hard to post about such subjects. They clearly DO affect one's sense of well being (in this case, particularly so in a MAN). I'm glad you took my post seriously enough to research what I was speaking about, I appreciate your concern in that, really. Too often, we do not want to talk about the physical cause of an exacerbating mental issue. I'm glad you made the effort to reach out to me.
