For CNS Magnetic Resonance Imaging: November 13th, 2020 I had an MRI performed using Dotarem medication for imaging and I had an immediate reaction with my stomach. I felt a warm sensation in my body, then nausea shortly after then vomiting. I had to be pulled out early with only 65% percent of the imaging performed. I had no idea or was I informed about any possible side effects and it scares me till this day because I believe this triggered my vertigo. The night before I posted this, my world was literally spinning on and off from 2 am till 4 am this morning. I am also feeling continued nausea. Anyone else have this type of reaction? |

For CNS Magnetic Resonance Imaging: I have an MRI with imaging using Doterem for the 1st time just 2 days ago. I experienced a burning sensation at the time of injection and today a massive bruise has formed at the injection site with it being extremely painful to the touch. This morning I woke up with clear mucus slimy diarrhea. Having had an MRI 3 months prior without contrast, to my eye made no difference in comparison. Have I been aware of potential side effects, I would have refused the contrast injection.
