Can anyone tell me where I can find a doctoe that is familiar with this problem? I live in Nevada but my small town doctors seem vague about it. I have all of the symtoms and they are getting worse.

I am glad to see this posting. I have had 5 MRI with contrast over the last 2 years. I started having problems last year with very stiff painful joints. It is hard to describe. It hurt to sit down, to stand up, to move my arms or my legs. I felt like my body was hit by a truck. The severity of the pain eventually got better, but I now feel like my joints are just stiff. I recently have developed a skin problem with little hard bumps appearing all over my body. They itched like the dickens. The doctors put me on steroids which seemed to help for awhile. But they are coming back again. The other problem that I have seen is my skin is starting to look more like that of an older man, I am 45. When I get a cut, instead of healing right away, it takes forever to heal and I am left with a large purple scar. I had my blood sugar checked for diabetes, but it came back normal.
How do I know if I am getting a proper diagnosis from a doctor if I am in fact affected directly by the contrast dye.?

you should be in end stage renal failure (stage 3 or 4) to constitute any possibility of developing nsf/nfd. How do you know if you are? YOu are already on renal dialysis – then you may possibly develop nsf but still highly unlikely. Check with the fda regarding said matter
