Additional Information on Peyronie's Disease

Just a follow-up to my last post......
I have had the good fortune to have been communicating with Stan Hardin who is the head of The
Association of Peyronie's Disease Advocates. Stan reached out to me after I had written a post that was questioning Pfizer's decision to partner with Auxilium to develop a drug for Peyronie's Disease.

Stan took the time to provide additional information about not only the physical aspects of the disease, but he addressed the serious emotional issues that men afflicted with this disease have to deal with. Additionally Stan pointed out that up to 9% of men are afflicted with the disease.
You can read more about both Peyronie's Disease and Stan's organization at their website here.
The site is extremely well done and informative.

And best of luck to both Pfizer and Auxilium in their quest for a cure.
