Re: MRI Hell
I'm so sorry that happened to you! Scan time is stressful enough on it's own!
Would it be possible for you to do a PET scan instead?
There's a whole different type of prep for the PET and
they use a contrast also, but I wonder if it might be different than
the contrast they use for MRI?
I would suggest you call your docs and let them know that
you couldn't tolerate the contrast & what a difficult time you
had and let them discuss the options.
I have a friend that had a severe reaction -anaphylaxis - due to the contrast during a CT & they had to pull out the epi-pen & benadryl.
Good luck & keep us posted!
Keep the Faith~
