read your mail, been there done that. guess we learn from our so called fears...now we know better...funny:)

I'm really glad you are going to try and cope with it and not run to the emergency room every time, that is a big step forward, and I'm sorry I found the story funny, lol.

Hello everyone: So listen to this I went in for a CT scan on Tuesday. I sign in and then get called to the room where they do the scan, the nurse puts me on the table tells me she has to inject some kind of dye into my blood so they could get a better look at my chest and other bodily organs. So anyway she takes a couple of pictures with out the dye at first then comes back down to start the injection tells me I might feel a warm sensation all over and I might feel like I just wet my self€¦ so with that I€™m okay (no panic attacks) she injects the dye and I of course get the warm sensation then the feeling of wetting my self then low and behold I can€™t breath and I€™m short of breath. Well I look over at her (she€™s in a separate room behind glass.) and she asks you okay and of course I can€™t breath nor could I fu***** talk because I€™m having a God for sake allergic reaction to the dye so she shuts of the machine rushes down picks up the phone and try€™s calling for help of course in the mean time I€™m dying because my reacting to the dye and is making my whole throat close up and now I look down and I see my arms and my stomach starting to turn red and I€™m getting a rash. In the mean time she€™s calling for help and no one is picking up the phone on the other end she dials lets in ring three times hangs up calls another number dials again nothing in the mean time She keeps telling me breath don€™t stop breathing but how could I when I having a reaction to the dye. Anyway she gets a hold of someone and like five people rush in to inject with (benidrill.ß might have not spelled that right) (Which made me really sleepy.) Mind you I€™m on my lunch break and I only have an hour, so they make me stay there until I come to and feel better enough to leave. My mother works at the hospital up on 4-A so she comes down to check on me and gives me a mirror and I have hives everywhere. Needless to say I taught my self a lesson this time. I AM FINE I AM NOT DIING AND I DIDN€™T NEED THE TEST TO BEGAIN WITH AND THAT€™S WHAT I GET FOR GOING IN FOR THE TEST WHEN IT WASN€™T NEED IN THE FIRST PLACE. Anyway just thought I would share this funny storey with you all maybe some of you could get a good laugh out of it and think twice when you think a little pain in your side is something seri
