Whip it, whip it good!

I've had a good few since I started riding bikes. Never had any problem, and neither have they ever injected any dye into me.
They don't make for as good pictures to take home as Xrays.

CT is quick and easy, haven't ever had any dye injections for them only for MRI

I am feeling a bit better.
About shit when I read they could inject dye into meI dont react well to that sort of thing. I am planning to leave work, go and get CT'd and go back to work?
The Nil by Mouth for 2 hours prior thing has got my brain working is all.

The two I have had took about 1 minute for the broken arm and about 30 seconds for the sinuses
When you're used to having MRI you hardly even notice the CT

I didn't have anything injected for my MRI. I wish I had injected some earplugs. The noise was intense.

I've had about 12 of the things, at least half with dye (actually called contrast). No big deal, except that the contrast gives you a serious hot flush and can make you feel like you've shit yourself and pissed your pants.
MRI is the worst, being in that bloody tube getting microwaved with all that banging and crashing going on. I've had a dozen of them and had contrast every time.
It depends what they want to see.

Nice! I already suffer the "hot flushes" from Nam! It makes my blood pressure go so high I am about to have a 24 hour telemetry blood pressure test, with a view to whether I need more BP medicine. Last time they fuckt with my meds I spent 8 days in hospital and attempted to pop my clogs.No big deal, except that the contrast gives you a serious hot flush and can make you feel like you've shit yourself and pissed your pants.
Shitting and pissing at the same time is something I will really look forward to
Even feeling like that is what I have done will be enough

CT is silent. It is simply xray slices of your body (doby). Apparently I should not be pregnant, that is not anything I should be worried about
I should be more concerned that I type doby for body apparenty

I had one for my lungs when I had my accident. (Apparently my lungs decided they didn't want to do their job anymore, which kinda put me in an awkward situation...).
The only problem is they missed the vein and squirted the stuff into my muscle instead.It really, really hurt, so I recommend asking them to please make sure the needle is in a vein. Once they got that sorted it was no problem and although I did feel a bit of heat from it, I really can't say anything to put you off.

I had the contrast once but that was for a MRI, they did it while I was being X rayed to make sure it went in the right spot, the contrast had no effect on me whatsoever

Yeah good point, it does affect people differently - I'm just susceptible to the stuff. To me it tastes like I've got a mouthful of nails as well.the contrast had no effect on me whatsoever
Mom the CT with contrast is no worse than having an X ray and blood test at the same time.

Had CT, MRI, CAT ( I think it was a burmese....) and all sorts over the years. The dye colours your blood and feels rather warm.
CT is no issue, and it is not too clostrophobic. Just lie there, relax and think of England.... especially when wearing a hospital gown.
