    This group is fantastic! I had a MRI gone wrong today as I never knew nausea was a side effect of the dye. I was 6 minutes from ending the test, so I held on without vomiting for that time. So it feels good to come home, check in with all of you and see this is not untypical.

    Next time I will ask for an antinausea med.

     Thank you!!!!! Even posts from a few years ago continue to reach out and help people!!
