My wife has had a stroke of the optic nerves on both eyes and is rapidly losing eyesight in both eyes. It was diagnosed as Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy. She has been seen by an optometrist, opthamologist, emergency room doctors and neurologist, has had a spinal tap, numerous tests, etc. and so far no one can prescribe a course of action other than high dose of prednisone to try reduce swelling. Any suggestions? She is taking a number of medications (flexeril, celexa, ambien, hydrocodone, citalopram, cyclobenzaprine, diazapam, phentermine, and zolpidem. I am wondering about interactions between the drugs or any suggestions on how to proceed.
