I had an MRI w/contrast last week. It didn't come out well as the IV for the contrast got messed up. So this week I had another one w/contrast.

I how have hives. Has anyone else ever had this reaction? The blubs on the net indicate that it's a 'rare' reaction... Somehow, I just don't think it's that rare? Has anyone else had this 'fun' experience?

The hives started 2 days after the last test. I also wonder if it was the 'double dose' of contrast material that could have caused the allergy.

Thanks one and all - I would like to know if I'm 'not the only one' who's had this quirky reaction before I start calling various medical folks and all.

Pain free moments and more to all of you - j
