Can Omniscan Cause Follicular Nerve Cell Damage And Tinnitus?

Several years ago I had an MRA with Omniscan was used. I experienced catastrophic tinnitus within an hour of the test. That has never improved. I have been trying to find information on follicular nerve cell damage, I had previously come across this information which tied this follicular nerve cell damage directly to Omniscan. Can you give me some idea or link to that information? I am also just learning of other problems tied to Omniscan that explain quite a lot of what I have been going through, specifically NSF in various areas of my body. I m sorry, I cannot afford to pay. Thank you for your time.
