I know I have been away for a while. So, let's see how I can make this long story short.
I move from the NYC office to the LA office then got laid off 10 months later. Eight months after moving here, I had severe stomach issues that was either parasites or virus in my gut. This is led to cramping, stabbing pains, and bowel issues which led to balance and equilibrium issues. I had severe vertigo for three months during and after. I was constantly in and out of the ER with no answers and being misdiagnosed constantly. Doctors decided on an MRI with contrast which lead to toxic metal poisoning which put me and my health in a downward spiral.
So, basically since I moved here I had health issues. Haha. I have been away over two years to work on my health. I am finally recovering and feel back to my old self. Praise be to God. It took a lot of holistic care and finding God. Knowing that he is the Ultimate Doctor and Healer. That He is sovereign. Thus, I have been recently saved and baptized.
With that said. I am excited to return back to teaching and making videos.
However, I just wanted to give a CONSUMER BEWARE since they dont tell us these things at the doctor. You will only find out when its too late and youre affected.
SAY NO TO MRI CONTRAST.
It ruins lives. The Gadolinium they use is a severe toxic metal. The doctors or radiologists dont give you a warning or alert you of the risks. Not everyone walks away fine. I didnt. It took two years to recover. 1-3% of the MRI population is affected by the side effects of MRI Contrast. There are several contrasts that doctors give: Dotarem, Gadavist, Magnevist, Ablavar, Fedirex, GastroMark, Multihance, OptiMark, Prohance, Teslascan, and Vasovist. I had 15 CC's of Dotarem which 3 teaspoons of liquid metal in injected into my blood vessel. And no it doesnt leave your body in 24 hours which is what they tell us. It doesnt leave your body ever.
I say never get it. You dont need contrast for them to see inside your body. They can just increase the scan and change the settings on the machine for better lighting on the image. I know because radiologists told me.
Do not live on your doctors words. Do not blindly listen to doctors. THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY IS A BUSINESS. Please do your research before getting MRIs with Contrast. Please ask your doctors all the questions you need to regarding risks. It can change your life. If not, you can and may be debilitated like a few of us.
So, I guess this was still pretty long, huh? LOL. I had to share this with you guys though. A lot of people do not know this information and doctors dont tell you. But it is all over the internet. I was one of the people who didnt know until it was too late.
We ALL did our part and yet, no change. It has been reported to the FDA, they ignore us. It has been reported to the manufacturers, they ignore us. It has been reported to BIG PHARMA, they ignore us. We must spread the word. It banned in a lot of countries because people are getting sick and dying from complications. Yet, its a money maker for USA, so it wont be banned anytime soon because the BENEFITS OUTWEIGH THE RISKS.
I created a FB page just based on my experience and recovery called A GIRL WITH GAD. Also, there are several FB Gadolinium groups you can join.
OK, now let's get back sewing. LOL. I miss you guys.
