I'm radioactive. Tell me anything!

[VioletLake]

Swallowed a capsule with Iodine-131 earlier today to nuke my thyroid.

Edited to change the subject line from "Ask me nothing!" to "Tell me anything!".

1. Does that make you turn into he Hulk?

[VioletLake]

2. Keep asking questions and I just may.

:grr:

[rug]

3. I'll give you $5 to go to the airport.

[VioletLake]

6. $5 on top of expenses and you have a deal.

I'll even let them "touch my junk".

4. Don't go near The White House.

You might end up pumped full of knock-out drugs, diapered up and on a corporate jet to god-knows-where.

[VioletLake]

7. Last time that happened I ended up as Dick Cheney's sex slave for 2 weeks. nt

5. I looked at your blog.

You're a bit lax on blogging recently.

Nice Goya pic, though.

[VioletLake]

8. Great. Figures that some guy would tell me that today of all days.

When I'm glowing green over here.

9. I just ate 3 carrot sticks and a celery stick.

now I need to go find something with some salt and grease to go with that.

[VioletLake]

10. I'd make you a BLT with a fried egg on Italian bread. nt

[Kali]

11. oh yes! that sounds good

egg on the side, I hope? cooked IN the bacon grease? mmmmmmmmm

[VioletLake]

12. Just how you like it, dear.

But not until the radiation wears off. :(

[Kali]

13. how long does that take?

for overactive thyroid, right? husband had super low thyroid fixed with replacement this year - it was a very dramatic improvement. Hope yours goes as well!

[VioletLake]

14. I was told 2-4 days before I can sleep with Mr. Lake, hold my cats,

and prepare food for other people. My thyroid was way overactive so the dose was relatively small.

Thanks for the good wishes, Kali, glad to hear that replacement improved your husband's quality of life. :hug:

If today's dose works, I'll be taking probably the same thing (synthroid) in small doses for the rest of my life.

[murielm99]

15. I did that five years ago.

Synthroid sucks. I take Armour. It is much better for me.

[VioletLake]

16. I'll look into it, thanks. nt

[murielm99]

17. You have to do what works for you.

I am not giving medical advice.

There are several others here with Graves Disease and thyroid issues. You will find supportive people. Best of luck maintaining your condition!

[VioletLake]

20. I didn't take it as medical advice, but I do value your opinion.

Thanks for the good wishes, murielm99. :hug:
