I didn’t have a chance to ask my allergist. My MRI was changed to tonight.

In October, I had a severe biphasic tryptase confirmed anaphylactic reaction (including shock). IgE negative. Had another episode in Feb.

The allergist said it was cofactor-driven. So I have to be careful when I have a cold.

Last night I got a sore throat similar to strep. Today I feel ok. But it increases the risk for me.

Should I worry about gadolinium?

Allergist has me on Allegra daily and I keep epi pens, that’s it. Should I take an extra dose before the MRI?

Meds: Allegra (fenofexadine), Pepcid, divagel, prometrium. Menopausal.

Edit: I get annual brain MRIs with contrast to monitor benign tumours.
