Thanks, I will pass this along. One of the times I took contrast dye I had Nausea for several hours. That should have been a wake up on my part. The last time I had it, it rushed immediately to my crotch area. I now have a section of my penis that is about an inch and a half long turned to rock. I also coincidentally have stage 3 kidney disease. I now wonder about that.
