I am fine if I am walking around or doing something. It's the sitting down and getting up that gets to me, pain like haveing disk problems all over again. Annyone else have this problem? There was or has been dye/contrast enjected into my arm before. But this last one really got to me. I called my Dr. and He wanted to X-Ray my knees , and I said I thought my body has had enough Mri's and X-Rays for a while.

The did the MRI Scan took me back to the emergency bed tht I was at, I was hooked up to a monitor, and my husband noticed that my blood pressure dropped dangerously low, he ran and got the doctor and they immediately administered benadryl via IV. I was beet red everywhere, I looked like I had a sunburn. The benadryl helped. My blood pressure slowly got better, and my skin slowly, was almost normal. I had gone into the emergency room due to being very sick to my stomach(throwing up for a couple of days), not even sure if I needed an MRI. Went home and within a few hours I was beet red again, my skin felt hot from the inside out, a burning sensation so we went back up to the hospital, and they gave me steroids and more benydryl via IV. The wrote be a prescription for steroids, and I took those with the benadryl. After the steroids were finished, about a week, it came back, had to get more steroids,sometimes I can feel my skin burn, for no reason and I wonder if it is the dye still in my system. That was about a year ago I think. But I think this is different than the NSF everyone is talking about, this is severe allergy. My regular doctor said never ever have the dye again.

The claims we are investigating involve the use of gadolinium based contrast agents used during an MRI or MRA, not CT Scans. Good luck and feel free to contact us if you have further questions.

The following day, my face became red, I started to have serve itching on my lower back,also on my upper thighs between my legs. I called my dr. and they suggested getting benadryl, I got the gel, I applied that to areas affected. It stopped the itching. By friday night, my left foot was swollen and red up to 3 inches about my ankle.Also my right foot was also red.Saturday morning, my left foot was almost turning purple from this rash?,and around my groin area, it was swollen alittle bit. I went to ER, where dr. gave me Zantac and Benadryl pills to take. My heart dr. postponed my open heart, so I went to see him the day I was to have surgery.By time I got there. From mid forearm to shoulders,both arms had like a rash or hives on them, my back was completely red along with my entire chest. My upper inner thighs were red and slightly swollen. Between my legs, I was chaffing very badly. My left foot was still swollen and red above my ankle, along with left foot that was only red and itchy. My heart dr. had no clue so he sent me to a dermatoligist. I saw her the next day. By then, my rash had greatly subsided, she has me on prednisone and zantac for 12 days, after which I will be having open heart. My heart dr. has taken 2 photos of my reaction when it was at its worst. The reaction I had is almost gone, , except for peeling skin on my face and lower back and between my legs. It is almost like I was being burned from the inside. I was just wondering if this is some of the reactions other people were having.

I have been ill since, a month later I developed a severe case of scleritis, with out any know cause and I developed swelling of my leg and body aches and more symptoms than you can imgaine. I have been ill since and going to an eye specialist now for 2 years. I don't know if the MRI with the contrast dye had anything to do with this, but since then it has been downhill and they are not able to determine what caused the scleritis.
