So my husband was supposed to drive me to my CT scan today since my daughter is away at college now, but he had a conflict with a conference he was supposed to be attending - actually not too far from Huntsman. So I ended up taking Trax to my appointment and then my husband met me there and he drove us home afterwards. I took the same premeds again today along with the Zantac. (Looking back though I think I only took half of the dose that I was supposed to take of the Benadryl.) They administered the IV iodine contrast a little slower which I think helps with the nausea that I have felt in previous scans. Afterwards I had a little bit of a tickling feeling in my throat along with the other symptoms that I have been having up to this point. Afterwards the radiologist came and talked to me and is going to recommend that I not do the IV contrast anymore. I guess the concern is that the reaction may get worse and that is something that they don't want to play around with.
