Central Serous Retinopathy

[Calianabolic]

Has anyone experienced central serous retinopathy (CSR)? It’s fluid that leaks into your eye. The retina specialist I saw said it can come from steroid use. Anyone that has had it been able to get it cured and continue using gear?

I've had chronic CSR for the past 16 years. It really sucks. It is mostly thought that corticosteroids are the main hazard, although there are case studies of guys on TRT getting it and having it resolve upon discontinuation of TRT. I discontinued TRT for 6 months after diagnosis, but that did not have any effect on my CSR, so my retinologist said it would be OK to continue with it. I did continue, but just at a minimum dose of 60mg/week. Just enough to get me to mid-range T levels. I avoid all other steroids religiously and have in my medical records that I am never to be administered or prescribed any type of steroid.

I’m not on any corticosteroids and still developed CSR. The first time I developed CSR, I wasn’t on any AASs but was taking SARMs. Did you increase your frequency of testosterone injections to smooth out any peaks and valleys? Have you stacked HGH and avoided CSR relapses?
