Nah, they used it on me when I cracked a toe. If I knew that this may be that dangerous I’d go the way without the contrast agent.

Based on what I've read I'm quite sure a cracked toe is way more dangerous than a contrast agent.

Maybe, but I was taking an immense amount of vitamin C as prescribed by the doc to bootstrap the healing process.

So this reveals to me two issues

1. In general side effects of the contrast agent are not communicated properly. If I knew, I might have asked - hey can you do the analysis without the agent?

2. There’s no recommendation to avoid vitamin C prior and right after the MRI, heightening the risk.
