Contrast and MRI: Did you have a reaction? How was it handled?

<p>Because I had such a bad reaction to the MRI with contrast, Vasculitis, my lower legs were almost black. It did go away, but I’m scared to do it again. Therefore, Mayo will give me no more scans as I refuse the contrast in any scans, and they will go by symptoms and C-9-19, not sure of the numbers. Has anyone else had a similar experience? What I read about Vasculitis scared me as many bad things can happen which require medication, etc. It’s not like vomiting. It changes the blood flow which can affect other organs. Am I a fool or following my gut? Or both?</p>

Number is 3. Don’t know how to do it without scans. That’s what I was told. Maybe there’s more to it.

Sorry, but not enough information to provide feedback.
What is your CA 19-9 number?
How can you be treated without the various necessary scans?
