Dallas Buyers Club - a straw poll

I refer to the film starring Matthew Mcconaughey, synopsis on line, no doubt.

Admin, this is purely theoretical and for our amusement and enllightenment - hand on heart.

If there were such a club for our medication how many would be in ? Unfortunately, I have to put my hand up and say I couldn't tempt said  Matthew Mcconaughey to help us, nor do I have the contacts or even the buckaroo skills.  Play a mean game of poker, tho :)

I suspect it would send a few endos mad with rage and there would be fuming in the press and probably a lawsuit or two but in theory I would definitely join (even without MM although that would provide an even greater incentive)

You can count me in on that one, I'm a sucker for long hair never having been able to get mine past my shoulders ;)

Hehe, I unwittingly watched the film the day I first started my own self-bought, NDT and was still feeling nervous about it. A bit close to the bone for me ;) 

The situation is almost exactly like ours, though. If it becomes less possible to mail order NDT and T3 in the future we might need such clubs.

I'd definitely join.  Perhaps we could get some real Thyroid suffering stars to help us out.  Perhaps Poker could help fund this club Rapunzel (tongue in cheek).
