Something to think about
On Wednesday I had a bone, cat scan scheduled, a muga today and then blood work on Monday. Three needle inserts and my port was not working-no blood. So thinking it would save me getting stabbed in the vein if they could find one I would have the cath flow done prior to the bone scan. It took 2 1/2 hours to clear the port. I did o.k. with the bone scan but after the cat scan I got nauseated, had diarrhea and felt terrible. That evening I was so sick. My head pounded, my body ached(my knees and finger joints hurt)I wanted to die. I started drinking loads of water as soon as I got done the cat scan. I went to bed and slepted for 12 hours and was fine the next morning. Just letting you know maybe, its not a good idea to get this all done in one day. My gut feeling tells me I had too many toxins in my body that day. All the dye, cath flow, and drinking white chalk, and not eating made me sick. I think the cath flow did it. I have had the bone and cat scan done before in one day with no problem. Of course I had the Tykerb in my body as well. Like I said something to thnk about. hugs, Sandy
