Re: Help! they injected me iodine contrast dye

[Guest guest]

,

I can't answer all your questions but I will try to help.

1. The idea that taking iodine will mess up an iodine-contrast-injection-scan

is

erroneous. They are not the same thing, and dietary iodine does not affect the

contrast injection. I would suggest returning to the iodine protocol, but you

shouldn't take the Iodoral unless you are also taking ALL of the companion

nutrients. Are you taking the companion nutrients?

2. To protect your kidneys and ameliorate any adverse affects you should take

NAC, N-Acetyl-Cysteine. I would take 600mg, 4 times a day for at least a week.

You can get it at any health food store or vitamin store, and possibly regular

pharmacies in the vitamin area. Also, keep yourself VERY well hydrated,

including

electrolytes.

4. I have been unable to find a side effect of heart pounding listed in the

medical/patient literature about iodine contrast agent injections. That doesn't

mean

it isn't a side effect, however. Why don't you ask your doctor?

Thyrroid medication: The idea that you would become " addicted " to thyroid

medication is silly. If you don't have adequate thyroid function, you need to

have

replacement hormones. If your thyroid isn't working, in whatever form, you're

going

to need thyroid hormone replacement for life (unless you are among the small

group that will be able to overcome the dysfunction). Since it's a given that

thyroid

medication is a lifelong requirement, the idea that a person can be " addicted "

is just

not accurate.

Please remember that even a doctor who is often correct can be wrong about other

things. Unfortunately.

The kidney issue is not universal. It's only if you have impaired kidney

function to

start with. And, your kidney function can be tested to see if it is adequate

before

you take the bronchitis med. I'm not a big Pharma fan myself, but you should be

aware of the facts, and not just go on your fears.

Here is a link that discusses the potential of kidney issues and under what

circumstances they may occur:

http://www.insideradiology.com.au/pages/view.php?T_id=21

Yes, it's a document made by radiologists, but it looks like the information is

the

standard information. Included in that information is the recommendation for

taking

NAC to cure/prevent kidney issues following iodine contrast agent injection.

I can't really answer your other questions.

Hi ,

Thak you for answering me!

I did 2 CT scans in 2 days!

Firts one was for my headaches (without contrast injection)the second one with

injection for a possible pulmonary embolism. There was a bronchitis.

1.They tested my T3 and TSH without my permission and they found my T3 12

instead of 6 (normal.My TSH was 0.014 and a doc was scarred that I

had hyperthyroid. Could this be because I took my Erfa+iodine at 10 am and they

tested 5 hours after?

2.They told me that I'm hyper with this TSH (I know the problem of TSH). I'm

scared about being hyper because I have bigger breasts than before (I read that

is a sign of hyper), I had itching (saw as sign of hyper), when I was

hypervetilating i didn't have muscle strength.When I come back to normal from

hyperventilation my body become normal. My doctor is a dump, he prescribes Erfa

but he test only TSH... so I have no doctor to talk to...

3. When I was doing the CT Scan they told me that I'll feel me neck warm. Since

to day I feel my neck is weird, as I had something on my neck. Can this be the

iodine injection?

4. Can I take Iodine without magnesium because I have bubbles in my urin and I

have to test my urine proteinuiria. If my kidney doesn't filter correctly, I

read that we shouldn't take magnesium because it can give renal failure. Can I

take iodine without magnesium?

5.So do you think that I should take the brochitis medication? Isn't iodine good

for bronchitis?

6.Could those 2 CT Scans kill my thyroid? Should I peint it a little iodine?

7. Last week my husband a strong flu, he was very tired, breathless, I took care

of him and the next day I felt sick and very very weak. Could this bronchitis

that I have worsen my condition by lowering my cortisol? I had 98/58 and 114

heart beat and breathless (more that my husband).

When I took iodine + Ashwafanda I felt better, I could walk, did some shoping

but my doc told me to take melatonin because it's antiviral and it could help me

with bronchitis. Well, I took the melatonin which helps me time to time with the

sleep but this time I was worse and I went again to ER for the 3rd time.

Can bronchitis, flu give the low cortisol?

Because the dr from ER wanted to send me a psychiatrist...OMG...

I told them that I felt very strong in my head but my body doesn't want to

follow.

thank you very much

sorry for this long message,
