Guest guest Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 I was curious if anyone else had a reaction to the IV contrast given with the ct scan? I seem to be allergic. I vomited so hard, I burst the blood vessels in my eyes (I looked like a vampire for 3 weeks. To bad it wasn't at Halloween :-) ). I much prefer an MRI, even though I am claustrophobic. At least I don't have to vomit. Anyway, I was curious if anyone else had experienced a reaction to the IV contrast. Personally, I hope to never experience that again, but what about you? K Thank you but I have my CT-scan set up for the first thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2002 Report Share Posted December 21, 2002 Hi K, I also had problems from CT Scan contrast, by the way was from oral iodate water, I think, because this day, I also had to use IV contrast. I done the test, went to my home, and a few hours after I had the worse waterly diahrrea from my live. My hubby had to call my doctor, I was very very bad, this lasted a week. Now I refuse to do it again. I think that you have a allergic reaction from iode. Good Luck, Liane you wrote: I was curious if anyone else had a reaction to the IV contrast given with the ct scan?
