When I was younger my appendix burst and I wound up in the ER. No clue what they put in me for contrast but yes, it burned like fire. My whole body. Lasted about 30 mins. Have had a lot of contrast scans since, since I had breast cancer, but nothing ever burned again.
You should see the Laundry list of drugs I react to, from as mild as Hives, puking diarrhea, and A-Fib being the worst. If you push Morphine, my head feels like it will explode. Dilauded is a little less if they just push half and wait a minute or two.
Some minor discomfort on contrasts. But I’m sure they take a toll on a weaken immune system. Not that they got the diagnosis right. Idiopathic Colitis is not the same as Gastropresis, which takes a different test than a CT.
Hubby being ‘bionic’ man with partial knees and shoulder can’t have MRI’s.
