Thanks for your question. Gadolinium is a para-magnetic substance that
has been very extensively used as a contrast medium in MRI imaging studies.
A medical literature survey over the last 15 years did NOT reveal any
clinical case reports of significant side-effects in the usage of this
product. In particular, there were no reports of nerve damage, cognitive
impairment, or disturbance in sleep patterns.

I hope this information is helpful. Best of luck.
