Anyone had an MRI with contrast?


[Aj...]

Recommended Posts

I had one in october.

 

If i could do it over I wouldnt have the contrast.  Was reading that there are lawsuits about the contrast causing harm to people. So weigh the risk with reward.

I have to have an MRI with contrast on Monday.

 

Anyone find it was ok or terrible?

 

since you're dealing with tinnitus per your signature, and concerning the gadolium contrast dye (if that's what they are using for yours) used in MRI's, i'm, copy pasting part of a conversation concerning these issues plus emf's which worsen tinnitus...pasted below. Good luck to you whichever you choose. and yes you DO have a choice. we all do.

 

:tickedoff:I commend you for getting off a toxic poison that was destroying your health. You know your own body better than anyone. You're in a withdrawal state and everything feels extra creepy. I can feel the currents of EMF too and it's like I am being microwaved. EMF is a silent enemy. Cell towers, wifi, cell phones, cordless phones, microwaves, smart meters are a biggy, and many other sources have blanketed our world and the highly dangerous 5G is on its way...nowhere to escape it. The symptoms can be crippling. Here's just a short list of possible EMF radiation therapy exposure symptoms. Since you are sensitive you might want to limit your computer and cell phone use and stay away from wifi. As you get better your sensitivities might grow less. However, none of this radiation is safe at anytime. Cell phones are being called the new cigarettes.

 

sleep disturbances, including insomnia

headache

depression and depressive symptoms

tiredness and fatigue

dysesthesia (a painful, often itchy sensation)

lack of concentration

changes in memory

dizziness

irritability

loss of appetite and weight loss

restlessness and anxiety

nausea

skin burning and tingling

changes in an electroencephalogram (which measures electrical activity in the brain)

 

mygodyes to this...

 

plus nonstop tinnitus! YAY!

 

i just got myself banned from another forum because someone asked about the emf's in regard to tinnitus and i said the basic same thing, in different words. a moderator told me not to make such "unfounded on facts" and "conspiracy theory promoting" comments so i said buh bye! there are so many studies and scientists and dr's now admiting publicly that 4G cellphone wireless wifi (and now 5G even worse)  causing brain tumors and cancers on the side of the head where cell phones are held and low sperm count/infertility in men because of cellphones kept in pockets and laptops and devices on pregnant mothers' laps and children's laps, etc...

 

my tinnitus is definitely worse from age about 5 to today due to the increase in emf's which directly correlate to thate time period. brain damage from psych meds has caused increased hypersensitivity to the emfs', demonstrable by the sudden silence and blessed peace when a storm knocks all the power out on the block.. as soon as the power goes back up, the tinnitus returns.

 

sorry to hear others suffering the same thing, but happy to be in a group that supports each other through symptoms that are heavily documented although scary and unpopular.

 

also, concerning the OP's concerns about contrast dye...i had 4 sets of MRI's when they misdx'd me with "multiple sclerosis" but the "lesions"/scar tissue in my brain is where brain death ocurred and filled itself in with scar tissue. not from MS...the radiologist told me he thought it was caused by some medication i was taking (at the time only seroquel) and years later we find out it's true. when my dose dropped down from 400mg to under 100mg all of my supposed MS sx's disappeared! i mean i went from walker asssted to cane to eventually walking and dancing even...magic! lol no just tapering off the poison and beginning to heal naturally

 

my friend Chuck Norris and his then fiance/now wife bought me steak n lobster once before a Wilie Nelson concert with my karate teacher, storytime! and if you google "Chuck Norris wife gadolinium contrast dye lawsuit" you'll read about how they won. she is disabled...was wheelchair bound at one time. haven't seen them in a long time so dunno if she still is. but that dye they use to light up our brains, gadolinium, they SAID it was safe and clears the system in 24 hours...they LIED. now i know. at least i'm able bodied and healing.  we get heavy metal poisoning from the contrast dye and sometimes a lot of disabling SX's so buyer beware. trust your gut instincts. i do. (most of the time)

i was just going to have a head MRI today but they wanted to use contrast and i won't even use contrast again. it never leaves the body and i've already had many MRI's and i am going in for another set at another facility but they said it's okay that i don't have the contrast.
