I have a question for you about this, The nurse blew through my vein and injected into my wrist, now I have a small group of brown spots where she did this, So is there any connection? Just wondering
Thanks

I worry about this as well but in order to really tell if a lesion is active have read in the past that contrast agents must be used. Gadolinium was the least evil of the available evils.

Since my brain stem lesions were not responding to treatment, I recently had an MRI spectroscopy performed to make sure they were not abscesses or cancer. No dye was used and the pictures were much better. An experienced radiologist can actually tell the degree of damage that has occurred. Trouble is the capability isn't available everywhere. Might be worth asking about though.

I think it is best not to have the gadolinium based contrasting agents if you are an MS patient as they are finding gadolinium in the brain tumors of those that have had GBCAs and they were not renally impaired. Check with your doctor but do provide them with some support. You can get that at the new support group or go to my profile.

I think the most powerful document to give any doctor and one they won't dismiss is the Robbie Booker v. GEHC Motion for Leave to Add Punitive Damages. This is because they knew this stuff was toxic befor it was put on the market and before FDA approval.

The FDA has new warnings out as well so the liability is going to shift to the doctors that order them. This the doctors will listen to. After I tell this to my doctors they never ever comfortable order another one so I'm told.

Bobby I do know that burning feeling, the nurse said I think I missed you vein and let me know if you get a warm sensation, warm my butt fire was the right word and right than and there I wonderd if it hurt that bad what was it doing circulating through my body,
Easym the place I see my neuro at is a Neuro Science Center and they have their own Research Dept. and is quite new, I would guess with the Research Dept they would have the best equipment and this is the first time I've heard it called a MRI Spectroscopy so I will definately will ask, thanks for that piece of information. I will never stop learning about this disease, Thanks Everyone

oleblue it only takes one dose to be poisoned. Look under my profile and read about the disease. You could be impacted. There is a lawsuit against the manufacturers that knew this stuff was toxic before it was approved.

I get the feeling that their is going to be a new MDL coming down the pike. Millions have been affected.
