~* FRIDAY FUN DAY ~* .. You are on a deserted island, your thyroid meds run out soon ... what will you do as you wait to be rescued .....food, shelter, physical symptoms. What's the first thing you'll do when you get back home? ...

My answer:

I will take the meds I have left and split them in half ... do what I can to stretch out the supply.  Then I'll wish I had Internet PC Air Card in my laptop to reach out to Stella to ask her about what healthy foods I can try to find on the island that are THYROID HEALTHY foods.  Next I'll be certain to lose some of those nasty pounds and I'll look fwd to updating my wt. tracker when I get home.

I'd be thinking about my thyroid friends and how they are doing ... I'd be going thru withdrawal with no PC ability!!!!

First thing I'd do when I get back home:  Take my med according to the directions, sleep, make an appt with my Endo for a checkup and be very thankful it was all a dream.

I'd hunt down natives with healthy thyroids, knock them out, then they would wake up in a bathtub full of ice with a note on their chests to call 911.    :-)

I'd have a supply of natural thyroid for life.  After that the monkeys are fair game.

Wahahahah

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

my cabana boy just showed up!!

Hey AR  buddy - dig me up some kelp- and get me some whale jiuce please!

( is this the pub 2night??)

Your logic is so crazy - "You surrender" ........ yeah right :0

You'd fight to the death my friend .......... and you know it.

Turn into a resort?

Yeah I see that then you would be rich -

you'd buy Ed McMann's house off from Donald Trump and kick 85 yr old Ed to the curb so you could live there with Nanna and Barb!

Now where's my kelp?? and quit dreaming cabana boy.

First, I would declare myself ruler for life! Then I would find a shady spot and relax while I waited for lunch to magically appear.

I'd figure out a way to declare war on the United States, surender, and then develop the island into a resort with nation building reparation funds and yearly disaster relief grants from Uncle Sam.

Now all I need is an island...

How fun. I will ask for my thyroid meds and my bi polar meds if I have the sense to by the time they find me. There is nothing worse than a hypothyroid, manic,depressed person. I have a feeling they would just leave me on the island even after they found me. LOL

Red you are too funny.  I loved it. I'm LMAO

I would a Red since I'm not allow to run aroung naked in my house.  I have two boys.

I would split the pills, be on the lookout for some hot sexy dude passing by only to him flood me with water.   Hopefully the water is shallow to catch  some fish and since I don't two sticks to rub together to make a fire, I have to eat it raw "ugh".

Cocounut juice, coconut and raw fish what a dish.

Yeah, I would have to pick, dig and scratch.  Who will watch? Crabs, fish shrimp or maybe a whale or two.

Oh yea, when I get beg for more meds and then be ask to be sent back to the island with food this time

I'm with Stella on the shrimp and ahem...seaweed....puke! I love shrimp though.
Now....yes i would try to split dosages up too, BUT....you see I have a problem here. When I go hypo I have breathing problems soooooooooo.....good thing I am alone as I gasp for air!  And what about the mental capacity of going very hypo??? Am I going to be like Tom Hanks with a soccer ball as my companion??? Oh my.........I will be running around naked talking to my invisible lover.......calling for the cabana boy to serve me!

Am I alone on this island? Well, if I am I guess I'll do what Red will do, run around naked. That way I'll get a nice even tan.   Oh, should I be expecting a hurricane to come my way?  That would be bad.

If I had a great time on the island, I guess when I get home, I'll just turn around and go back.  
VERY IMPORTANT- always, no matter what, make sure you have at least a 6 month supply of meds with you AT ALL TIMES.  Ya know, in case you really do get stuck on a deserted island.  

Hey C-  who's that "hottie" on the island?

I would fit in nicely jus the way I am! You wouldn't be able to tell the difference! As I am not on any thyroid meds in the first place, but boy do I wish I was! My thyroid has been going from high to low for a year and they won't start treatment till it settles either way.
What is the first thing I would do when I got home? Beg once again to be started on the damn meds!

Run around totally naked...then realise I burn too easily, get dressed....sit...think....hmmm....itty bitty white pills...halve them.....store in empty coconut......sleep most of day....wake at night to avoid sunburn. Pick belly button lint out..(been meaning to do that for a long time)...pick nose to heart's content, fart excessively.......no-one here to notice...except the monkey...which has stolen my coconut! Arrrrrgh! Run after the little bugger...then laugh and laugh till the tears run down my legs...Little monkey has eaten all my thryoxine.....Now I can not wait to see a hyper monkey!
   Get rescued only minutes later...(bugger...everybody always annoys me at the wrong moment!) Get in boat and see gorgeous hunk of a man...he turns away...what? Is he gay? Oh, no, realise I had taken clothes off again at night to enjoy my new found freedom, he is blinded by my arctic suntan....Oh well....
   See doctor at hospital... I keep asking about the monkey...they refer me to the psychiatric department for further evaluation.
