Hope you feel better quick. its my turn monday
I was gonna say "I never have reactions". But this is about my normal, so how would I know if it was affecting me?




Sorry you felt so crummy. I wonder if it would help if you drank a bunch of water right before the scan? then hang around for 15-20 mins after for a couple potty breaks. That's my routine. Maybe that's why it doesn't seem to bother me. I'm a water drinker big time.
