17. It was likely gadolinium

I had one MRI scan with that sh*t injected into me.

Gadolinium has a long history of problems associated with it.

After I found out how toxic that sh*t is I said never again and I meant it.'

I've never had another MRI scan of my brain since. MS be damned!

Can MRI contrast cause diarrhea?
AI Overview
Yes, diarrhea is a potential, albeit uncommon, side effect of MRI contrast agents. While most people experience no or mild side effects, some may have gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea, nausea, or stomach cramps. These symptoms are usually temporary and resolve on their own, but it's important to inform your doctor if they occur.

>> We urge patients and health care professionals to report side effects involving GBCAs or other medicines to the FDA MedWatch program, using the information in the “Contact FDA” box at the bottom of the page.

Make sure you tell "them" how sick this crap has made you!

Take care CTyankee!
