I have bonded retainers as well (a small strip of metal on the back of my teeth) they aren't MRI your head so it won't cause any imaging issues. They also won't rip out of your head, just cause a distortion on the pictures (if they were scanning your head) just let your tech know

Oh the glycol made me feel warm and tingly in my stomach area, made my stomach queasy...and a little like you have to pee.

I had this MRI done yesterday. I wasn't allowed to eat or drink anything 8 hrs before the scan. I had to arrive an hr and a half before my scan so I could drink the contrast. I was given one bottle with a large straw of creamy white contrast which tasted sweet. Waited about 15 minutes then given...

Lol I asked if I could sit up so I could burp cause I was so nauseated and they were like nope it sucked

Coloring books, internet, TV and sleeping...break it up with visitors too.

I had my mri today. I went in thinking everything would be cool since I'm still on prednisone and that has slowed things down...well the barium has sped things up considerably. I ended up pooping my pants in the mri :/ since I wasn't allowed to eat and only allowed to drink that crap my acid...

Remicade was my miracle drug. I was on a double dose every 7 weeks. I went in for a roughly 3 to 4 hour infusion, took a nice nap or watched some TV and was feeling better by the end of it (don't be surprised if after the infusion she's tired, they gave me a steriod, benadryl and Tylenol before...

Hi there. I'm sorry to hear of your daughters struggles. I can tell you crohns disease isn't a death sentence and you hear a lot more horror stories than you hear of the good stories (remission, the disease isn't that bad ect) mainly because when your feeling well you don't think about the...

I figure the sinuses and his ears were/are connected. They said it was due to allergies and prescribed Flonase but it didn't seem to help (he did it every night for a good year, year and a half and he still has the pressure and sinus issues)

he went 3 times today, said it hurt before and a little while after...after school it seemed weird to me that he did a somewhat hurried walk to the bathroom. He's also got a slight cold. He's had ringing in his ears or a lot of "negative pressure" in his ears (so it sounds like he's under water)...

Hi there. I know you're under a tremendous amount of stress but hopefully my story will help you. I had a pretty normal pregnancy up until 35+6. I was getting regular ultrasounds to check her growth and was getting my last growth scan when they found I had pre eclampsia(My blood pressure was...

We've decided to go ahead with the colonoscopy. He was scared at first but now he's more upset that the day before hell only have clear liquids, my husband said he'll eat the same things though so he feels better. His sinuses are acting up again and his ears are bothering him. He's been trying...

I have an MRI set up for friday. After that I'll see the surgeon again and talk about the next steps.

I had c-diff at the beginning of the yr. I did a round of Flagyl and when I was done I still had symptoms. We had a hard time determining whether I was flaring or I still had c-diff. My GI said that I would test positive for c-diff even if I was clear of it because you still shed the bacteria...

Well he woke me up this morning saying he had a stomach ache when I asked him about it he drew a line from right to left and said it felt like "a bleeding cut." I figure he's hungry and sent him to school since he's not acting like he's in pain or anything. (He also had a stomach and headache on...

When your kiddos have stomach aches can they point to specific areas which hurt or do they have generalized "my tummy hurts" kind of thing?

thank you all for your replies. I still go back and forth I guess mainly because the GI seemed unimpressed by his symptoms and kept saying the blood was related to constipation (which I don't think he's really suffered from since the episodes of random vometting about a yr ago). He said he...

My only concern would be that he said if he finds nothing he won't scope again unless his symptoms drastically change (which I understand I wouldn't want him to scope unless it's needed) I just don't want it to shut down future investigation. My other thought was if I cancel the scope I'd ask...

Well the GI ordered scopes but based on family history and slightly elevated fecal calproctine result (he did say that it's not super elevated and if it weren't for the family history he'd sort of write it off). I went ahead and scheduled the scopes but am thinking I may cancel them. He's not in...

Well his pedi was saying when he was tested as in he was tested before his sed rate became elevated.
