i wonder what the side effects are for the dye that is injected into your brain, when they MRI it.
my wife had a brain MRI & subsequent to that had some weird effects. itching/flushing, took several weeks to stop.
not sure if there is a causal connection? but would like to know how many others have had any side effects , possibly from dye???

Generally speaking the colorless contrast agent allows enhancement of the image of key brain components in order to arrive at the most accurate diagnoses.

The reactions a minority of people might experience include itching, sometime hives, and headaches. The symptoms usually clear up pretty quickly but hydrating more than usual might help flush it out. If they persist I’d call my Dr.

Hope she feels better!!
