My experience on a contrast fluid MRI Scan:

Because I was suffering from my back, and I suspected it was a herniated disc, while the neurologist didn't really believe it, I got an MRI Scan with contrast fluid. I got the contrast liquid because I had had surgery on my back a few years earlier, and so they could see scar tissue. The neurologist also thought the scar tissue was the problem. The day I had to go in the MRI scan, I had a restless feeling, and that's weird, because I don't get nervous so quickly for photos, hospitals and MRI scans. But maybe it was a premonition. Long I didn't have to wait in the waiting room and was called inside. I had to take off my jewelry and take off my bra because there was underwire in it, and the rest of my clothes was allowed to stick on. I walked to the scan, the sister explained to me what was going to happen, I had to lie still for half an hour, not move, and after that half hour I got contrast liquid injected and had to go back in the tube for another 2 minutes. I closed my eyes and tried to think of nice things, listening music was regularly disturbed by the loud sounds of the MRI scan. After that half an hour I was taken out of the tube, and the sister came with a needle she stuck in my flesh, she sprayed the liquid in and right then I was pushed back into the tube, and at that time I started to feel weird, as if my head would explode, like I had a lot of coke with carbonic acid. had worked inside. I thought, keep up. When I feel I'm dropping away I have to press the alarm bell, after all it's only 2 minutes. I kept it for two minutes, but when I came out of the tube again, I told the nurse, “I don't know what happened, but I felt so weird in my head”. Meanwhile, I got itchy all over my body. I went back to dress and when I looked in the mirror, I saw big hives on my face, and I saw them all over my body. My tongue started tingling too, and it felt like I could pass out any moment. I called the sister and said it didn't go well. She called to the doctor to ask what to do. I got all kinds of syringes but it didn't really. They told me I was being taken to the emergency room. I started crying, I got scared, what happens? I was also afraid I would fall away because that's how I felt. And I kept talking inside myself, and in the emergency room, I kept appending with my friend and girlfriends, I was so afraid that if I put my head to rest I would stay in it, it felt so weird.Edit there I was then in the hospital there I was then in the hospital. hospital that I had to stay for an observation night. My friend came, brought by his father, after all, I had the car with me, my parents stopped by, and at night I slept badly.The next day I was allowed to go home. The danger had passed, I had made it through the night well. I was allergic to the substance Gadolinium, the sister wrote it on a note, and told me to report this if any contrast liquid was ever used again. I drank a lot of water, and made a lot of smoothies to cleanse my body.Later that year I had a sinus inflammation and went to rinse with saltwater. But after a few times, my hands were itching, I thought, maybe I'll win the jackpot of a lottery, until days later I saw in the mirror that my face was all red and set up, Gadolinium is a kind of iodine, and the salt I used was also Iodine. Nothing jackpot, but a raunchy allergy.
