How bad is it to have Peyronie's?
Well, it won't kill you, it's not contagious (though a predispositon to the disease is inherited) and it won't prevent most kinds of employment. On the other hand, if you get severe Peyronie's before age forty you have a right to feel that life has seriously dumped on you. If you get it after age 70 (unlikely) you probably can't complain quite as much.
I think for most of us the impact is similar to losing an eye (one, not two), a hand, or developing a treatable malignancy. It's a big personal impact and it takes a significant amount of time to work through.
