I had MRI contrast dye injected in me last week. Immediately after being injected my arm was in severe pain for the next 10 minutes and the technologist said that was not normal. The pain at the injection site lessened but lasted a few days. Since than I have had itchy skin all over and random pains in my body. The second night after the MRI I woke up sweating with severe nausea/vomiting but that has since gone. I am now worried about toxicity and the fact that there doesn't seem to be much that they can do or any cure for this. Has anyone experienced lingering symptoms and if so, what did you do? Is there a test that can be done to see if my body has toxic levels of the dye in it still? I am really regretting getting the MRI but now I just need to figure out where to go from here..
