NO CONTRAST was used.... that is why I am so confused to the reaction I had. The Tech that was there said I should not have had any side effects from just the MRI and for me to inform my Neuro Doctor when I see him on Tuesday.

So.... that is why I am asking if any one else ever had any problems or side effects from just a regular MRI?

This what I found on-line when I did a search.... on MRI side effects.

Side-Effects that usually do not require medical attention....
These possible side-effects may go away as your body adjusts to this agent. However, if they continue or are bothersome, check with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.

More common: coldness at place of injection; dizziness; headache; nausea...

Less common or rare: agitation; anxiety; changes in taste; chest pains; confusion; diarrhea; dryness of mouth; fever; increased watering of mouth; pain or burning sensation at place of injection; ringing or buzzing in ears; stomach pain; unusual warmth and flushing of skin; vomiting; weakness and tiredness.

Other side-effects not listed above may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, inform your doctor, nurse, and/or pharmacist.
