What Is Gadolinium?

Research has recently discovered evidence of gadolinium deposition in patients following Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) exams in which gadolinium-based contrast agents were administered.

The deposition of gadolinium has primarily been found in neuronal tissues. Because one million or more MRI exams are performed each year, researchers are concerned about the effects that Gadolinium deposition potentially has.

What are the Symptoms?

Recently, a clinical diagnostic finding for Gadolinium Deposition Disease has been found. Symptoms of GDD start within minutes of the administration of a gadolinium-based contrast agent to one month. Symptoms of gadolinium include:

BRAIN FOG

You should go to the emergency room or see your regular doctor as soon as possible. A doctor can check you for injuries and start your treatment.

INTENSE BURNING OF THE SKIN

This symptoms arises in the early stages after the exam has taken place. It is often felt in the extremities.

SKIN TIGHTENING, THICKENING, AND DISCOLORATION

Pain may occur along with these symptoms. Arm and leg skin tightening and thickening could arise within two weeks of the administration of gadolinium-based contrast agents. This symptom reflects nerve disease which could potentially relate back to the gadolinium deposition in the neuronal tissues.

MUSCLE VIBRATIONS, SKIN PINS, AND NEEDLES

This symptom reflects nerve disease which could potentially relate back to the gadolinium deposition in the neuronal tissues.
