Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 Hello Lu! It's good to hear from you. Sorry to hear about the kidney infection. I don't have information about your question, but with your permission I'll send your message to someone else who might know (I'll leave your email address out of it). I didn't want to do so without asking first, though. wishing you well, rachel~ In a message dated 4/6/02 9:24:46 PM Eastern Standard Time, demi111@... writes: > I have been on digest for a few weeks, I had a kidney infection but am > feeling better now.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2002 Report Share Posted April 7, 2002 Hello flushers! I have been on digest for a few weeks, I had a kidney infection but am feeling better now. I am still having problems though in the lower right quandrant of my body so my doctor wants to do a CT Scan....there are problems with this though....I am highly allergic to IVP dye and could potentially die if I ever have it administered again... so they were going to use another non-ionic dye to do the imaging provided I took a med pack the night before consisiting of: prednisone and benadryl.......now this posed a problem because I am extremely allergic to prednisone as well....so then the Radiologist suggested an Ultra Sound but my doctor still wants the CT Scan and told me to go ahead and prep like I would for the CT Scan except no IV Dye at all.....the prep is to drink Barium Sulfate......Now this brings me to my question...I cannot find much information on the net about this stuff other than some toxic information for the environment......has anyone had this stuff....is it dangerous? I am a nervous wreck thinking about having to take this stuff and having a potential reaction....like getting sick for months or years.....horrors going through my mind.....the Radiologist scheduler did not have a clue nor did the clinic nurse so they told me call on Monday to talk with the radiologist to find out any potential side effects.....does anyone on the list here have any information about this stuff or have ever had it administered??? I am seriously considering cancelling the whole deal over my nerves here. Peace Lu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
