I'm in the UK. The weekend before my occurrence I had let myself get very dehydrated and had taken Dihydrocodeine for elbow pain, which had been prescribed to my husband for pain after an op.? Whether this had any influence or not is anyone's guess! I am also now on daily aspirin as I had an historical blood clotting disorder from several miscarriages 30 years ago. The docs were interested in this fact as a possible contributory factor. They are also of the opinion that NAION is more likely? instigated by Hypertension than Hypotension.? I believe that it was just a perfect storm of circumstances and just pray that it doesn't affect my other eye.?
