Hi Mark,
My name is Rod. I had a Naion incident in my right eye in 2006 when I
was 38. I lost vision in most of my eye, although I can see a bit in
my peripheral vision. I participated in this group actively when it
happened and it was very therapeutic to hear from others. While it was
certainly traumatic at the time and I was concerned about future
incidents that would affect the other eye, I have had no further
deterioration in vision. I live a perfectly normal life. I just take
care of myself. Exercise, eat well, protect my other eye when I play
tennis or have a baseball catch with my son, etc. Your brain adjusts -
pretty awesome. You don't want to do things that will cause drops in
blood pressure, particularly avoid medications that drop blood pressure
whenever possible.
I did some analytical research with the group back then that is
probably posted somewhere way back in the group archives. I shared it
with some Neuro-opthomologists in the San Francisco area. I have been
seeing a NO in San Fran since then and we measure the change in vision.
No change at al over time.
The meds I take: Trental (prescription) that is for improved blood
circulation, 1 baby aspirin a day, fish oil capsule for good heart
health. I have changed nothing with my medications over time and I
believe it has helped, certainly hasn't hurt.
Early on, I thought about my eye incident all the time. It took a
while to get used to the situation. But you will get used to it and
you will begin to not think about it all the time. Hope this is
helpful
Best of luck Mark.
To all the rest of you including Screwie Louie, I hope you are all
doing well.
Rod
