I just had my 4th MRI, The 3rd and 4th contrast shots made me nauseated
and the 4th gave me a strong chem taste in the mouth.
I was wondering if anyone knows anything about what that contrast shot is made
up of. Im told that you pass the contrast shot through your urine.
Had to take a walk in the mine field again and was wondering about this
ama mri stuff, neg effect ect?
Peace rhb

Gadnolinium, a chelated heavy metal (I just googled it). If you didn't have allergic reactions (and the ones you described are normal -- I've had the same symptoms, as has my daughter), you should be ok. It's nasty stuff, though. I'd load up on seaweed and other heavy metal detox foods.

Thank you Sundancer, One good thing the price of scrap metal is up
mabey I can sell this proto plasim bag to the junkyard.
just joking , I will sea weed. Gadnolinium Oh gad no!

I had a CT scan today. I have had one before, pre-raw days, but his time I really felt nervous. I was worried about all that liquid chalk I had to drink, the iodine contrast, and the radiation! I was told there were absolutely no side effects from that liquid chalk, but guess what, it plugged me up big time!! :-( The CT tech said the long term affects of the scan itself it not know! Yikes!!! And I was told nothing harmful about the iodine. I'm not sure I buy it.
