((Tom)) Thank you so much for the update. AND thank you for still being here!

Your experience sounds frightening. As a side note, I had the exact same experience many years ago before one of my annual colonoscopies (I have ulcerative colitis.) At the time, they thought I had a heart murmur and ordered IV vancomycin before having the procedure. Oh my God, the reaction I had. My parents were in the room and saw me turn deep red starting at my scalp and quickly going down my body. Rapid heart beat, breathing difficulty, severe itching, disorientation...it was awful. Called the doc and was quickly given something that counteracted it.

Well, I haven't had vancomycin since then! So I understand your fear. It's highly likely you won't have iodine again!!!

I'm anxious to hear the results, as I'm sure we all are. It is just so wonderful that you have specialists who care and are working diligently to get to the roots of your problems.

Thanks again Tom, and please do let us know about the results! ((hugs))
