For Body Imaging "I had a CT done, they used Omnipaque 350. I've never been the same since. I have chronic headaches, blurred vision, soreness and stiffness in my entire body, a feeling of dying, a feeling of something bad going to happen, dizziness, my eyes have my vision jumping up and down, rapidly, constantly crying, a feeling of dread, my bones hurt, muscles ache, stiffness and pain in my jaw. I wake with chronic headaches and a pounding heart beating rapidly, and when I was able to sleep, much insomnia. I had a horrible rash on my chest from neck to breast to shoulders. Now my records indicate that I am allergic to contrast dye."

For Head Imaging "I have lymph node swelling of my neck, so I went in for a neck CT with contrast using 100 cc of Omnipaque 350 intravenously. Felt immediate heat, was fine. Forty-eight hours later, I woke up with lower back stiffness/pain. Then, another forty-eight hours added to that the neck became stiff/painful. I thought it was all a bad mattress. Ibuprofen hardly helps with the stiffness/pain. Messaged the prescribing doctor. I haven't heard back yet. I'm hoping that this goes away! I will update as I get more info."

For Body Imaging "Had a precautionary CT scan on my chest several days after hip surgery and after experiencing some pain in my chest. The contrast agent used was Omnipaque 350. About 8 hours later, when lying down in bed, I felt itching on my back, which persisted into the night. On inspection, I could see that a hives-type rash had formed between my shoulder blades. This gradually subsided over about 10 days. Note that the scan showed up a small infection for which I was prescribed a penicillin antibiotic. I took this about 3 hours before the rash appeared, so my doctor changed the antibiotic as a precaution in case that caused the rash. I have never been allergic to penicillin, so in my mind, the Omnipaque remains the culprit."

For Angiocardiography "It has a very useful contrast while I am performing angiography."
