Central serous retinopathy (CSR) and steroids

[jthepitlover]

Hey everyone. i could really use any and all readers experience with this one.

first a little back round.
i had a condition called CRS also known as central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), is a visual impairment, often temporary, usually in one eye, mostly affecting males in the age group 20 to 50 The disorder is characterized by leakage of fluid in the central macula, which results in blurred or distorted vision (metamorphopsia). A blind or gray spot in the central vision is common, along with flashes of light.
This isn't really a big deal in the doctors opinion but it was scary. it's most common in active males under a lot of stress who are type A personalities. my vision was a bit blurry in one eye for a month or so and then it slowly returned to normal.
The use of any steroid can also play a factor in bringing it on and can cause it to return. I have never done a cycle but I was using a Nasonex spray for alergies which contain a steroid. My doctor said this, plus the fact that i'm under stress probably caused the problem. My doctor warned me about any cortisone type steroids and told me that they can effect this condition and in some cases cause permanent vision loss. HOLLY SHIT!
the problem here is that I have an injured A.C. joint for over a year in my shoulder and would love some cortisone or something similar. it seems thats out of the question. I'm also curious about doing an anabolic cycle but this condition scares the shit out of me. I'm just curious if anyone on here has any experience with this condition.
I would greatly appreciate any response
Thanks so much guys

No, I don't have expereince in the same condition as your.

That being said: You should talk to your doctor more about your concerns as you sound to be unknowledged on the topic of steroids. The reason I'm saying this is "steroids" as classified from what the body produces has to do with the chemical structure it is based on. EX: cortisols and AAS's are both steroids but produce different actions. Get your Dr to educate you, after all that's what you pay him/her for.

thanks for your reply.
the difficulty is that an eye dr. doesn't really have much knowledge on the subject. He is a great eye Dr. but sort of waves me off on this topic and says "just stay away from steroids". and cant really break down which ones to stay away from. I know corticosteroid steroids are an absolute NO. Also it's touchy to discuss steroid use with a Dr. because many of them deamonize them unfairly so the conversation doesn't really educate me much. Often people and athletes who have had injuries that i have are the best resource for information. The guys in this forum are often very well educated. That's why i was hoping to gain some understanding here
P.s. pardon my awful spelling.
