Re: Iodine
After having many CTs with iodine contrast and never a problem, about 3 years ago I developed an alergic reaction to it. I was laying on the table and as soon as they injected the iodine contrast I got the normal hot feeling flushing through my body, but then I started to sneeze uncontrolably and my eyes started swelling, and my throat started constricting (very scary!) They immediately injected some benadryl and things started to settle down. Now they always premedicate me with the benadryl when I need a scan.
