[QUOTE="crash1270, post: 25052, member: 2341"] It has been almost a year for me since first getting CSR symptoms. I stopped TRT in October of last year. I kept with HCG for about six months. Currently I'm not on any prescribed medications. I have had 4 shots of Avastin in my eye six to ten weeks apart starting March of this year. The fluid behind my retina is almost completely gone. The last visit to the retina specialist I was supposed to get a final shot but he said I have had such good recovery from the condition that I don't need another shot. He set me up to come back in 3 months. I am considering going back on TRT. But plan on trying a different approach. I am 44 years old. I have not had labs in a year. Originally I was at a level of 150 when first tested. I'm not sure what form of test they were using but it was at the "Low-T Center". I would get a weekly dose of 120ml i think? When this all happened I was going out of town and they doubled my dose. Shortly after (3 weeks?)that I developed CSR. I've read a few studies where high levels of exogenous testosterone have been linked to CSR. I am considering getting back on therapy but self injecting 2x a week at smaller doses so my exogenous T levels don't get as high and hopefully avoiding a relapse of CSR. I am about to order labs done through Discount Labs and I am looking for input on which labs to order. Obviously "Male Hormone and Wellness Panel", since I have had CSR and this is linked to high stress levels what about a cortisol test? I don't know about my cholesterol levels or any of that other stuff. I would really like to know why my T levels are so low. How does one figure that out? Since I have had the CSR should I consider trying Chlomid to try and kick start my HPTA? How do I figure out if I am primary or secondary and what does this all mean? Thanks [/QUOTE]
