A crazy idea of mine
A further thought about your question at the Science Refdesk: I see absolutely no evidence this will work, but ... seeing the news story just now about the Russian athletes using xenon to improve their performance has gotten me to wondering. The athletes used xenon with oxygen in a 50:50 mix just before sleeping to improve the oxygenation of their blood. It works by inducing protective factors, and can prevent damage in cold ischemia  and protects the brains of rats after ischemia during birth  and is being tested on babies.  A patent exists to prevent neuropathic pain with xenon. I still have absolutely no idea what kind of optic nerve problem you are having, whether this is relevant to it, and I certainly have no idea whether this would help or make it worse, but I suppose you may be having several meetings with health professionals over the next few months, during which, if you have a moment, you might ask them if using xenon the way the athletes did could have any benefit.

Whatever happens, I pray for the best. Wnt (talk) 16:27, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
