I had 1 MRI and 2 MRA's with contrast 4 yrs ago. Found out I have lyme
disease and co-infections plus super high heavy metals including very high
gadolinium. I have been having chelation treatments for the past 6 months.
With the chelation, my creatinine corrected levels of gadolinium in my urine were:
3 ug/g of creatinine ( 1 year ago ) 3.6ug/g, ( 6 mo. ago ) 3.4ug/g ( 2 mo.ago).
I just had another Toxic Metals test from Doctors Data ( $60.00 plus doctor
fee) without using provacation ( my chelation was Ca-Edta and a DMPS push)
No gadolinium was detected without the use of chelators. Some of us cannot
excrete it on our own.
Have you tried chelating gadolinium out of of your system?
Hello,
I too have what they think is Raynauds or Erythromelalgia (flushing of hands and feet, intolerance to heat, warm baths, etc). Within a week after having an MRI with gadolinium I developed a severe burning pain in my entire urethra along the entire length of my penis. This pain wasn't when urinating but sitting or standing doing nothing. I tried 4 hot one-hour baths back to back 1 week apart: after the first one my burning disappeared (I tried to replicate what Germans do -- hyperthermia for prostatitis). But after the 4th bath both my entire legs turned beet red for about 10 minutes which alarmed me. Within 3 weeks I developed what is Raynauds or Erythromelalgia, The MRI was Nov 8, 2014, it's not end of April 2015, and I still have these problems that interferes with my life, no doctor has a clue, all tests are negative, some digestive assimilation and elimination problems, lost lot of weight. I read that EDTA binds to gadolinium well, but I would need some proof that it works and that it's safe. Please don't hesitate to write me m i k i _ z @ h o t m a i l . c o m.
I am very interested and need your help too!!! I just had 2 doses of gadolinium given to me with sets of MRIs, both over a 2 week period. The last dose was on the 6th of this month (March) and about a day and half later, I started having excruciating kidney pain and body pain. I feel like I am dying and the ER Doctor made jokes about it and said "he was going to attribute it all to nerve pain" despite my letting him know what happened and that this is most certainly not nerve pain. Will you please please help me? I am and have been mostly bedridden ever since this started.. I'm praying for real help.. and that we all can get the help needed. This is unbelievable... go there for help and then end up in complete misery.
Thank you gaddoc for offering your help!!! God bless you!!!
which contrast agent did you have and where I had multihance in my shoulder and feel like I am getting some lower grade symptoms after about 1 month. have you had blood or urine tests to see what residual there is. I am looking to get these done to have a baseline for how much I have left as I would think that the removal from the system would be more random in a joint as there is much less blood flow. hope we can all find a path to better on this real issue
any word on removal methods for gadolinium residual to intraarticular injection as in a shoulder or knee joints etc
