Health: MY SHIT Do Not Eat!

MY SHIT Do Not Eat!

By you're shitting me - 27/05/2013 05:05 - Australia

Today, after months of tests for mystery nerve pain, I went to get more blood taken only to leave the clinic with an empty tin to collect my bowel movements for the next 72 hours. Which needs to be refrigerated. I live with four other people, with one fridge. FML

Today, at the ripe age of 20, I spent the early hours of my morning violently vomiting blood every time I got too warm. I then had the pleasure of shitting in a plastic container for a stool sample, due to said problem, after one and half hours of sleep. FML

Today, I was admitted to the hospital for chronic constipation. I have to share a room with two other girls who are also having bowel problems. We're all on strong laxatives, and there's apparently only one bathroom in this place. FML

What is wrong with me?

By I can't anymore - 16/06/2024 05:00 - United States

Today, my finally figuring out what the hell is wrong with my body has coincided with the local clinic closing for the weekend. I can't get referrals until they open again. Only three long, boring, miserable days and three long, agonizing, sleepless nights to go. And probably more even after. FML

The first step is admitting you have a problem: take away is bad for you.

Today, I opened my fridge. It's entire contents: half a takeaway meal and 4 bottles of wine. FML

Today, someone at work took my delicate medication out of the fridge to make room for their lunch. Now my medication has expired. FML

Today, I went to the hospital due to vomiting and abdominal pain, and they decided to fit me with an IV drip. It took several tries by two different people to get the cannula in. I feel like a human pin-cushion. FML

Today, I was supposed to be enjoying a long-anticipated, desperately needed, weekend away. Turns out those "little stomach twinges" were actually symptoms of appendicitis. I'm stuck in the hospital, alone, recovering from surgery, while my family is enjoying our non-refundable break. FML

Thanks for nothing

Today, my mother-in-law came over. Probably thinking that the needles in our fridge were steroids, and wanting to do the right thing, she took them to throw them away. I'm diabetic, and they were my insulin. I went into shock after she left and had to go to the hospital. FML

Climate change

By BloodyHorror - This FML is from back in 2017 but it's good stuff

Today, the blood from some defrosted steak dripped under my fridge where I couldn't see it. One insanely hot day later, and my whole house smells like it has its period. FML

The doctor will see you… soon

Today, I spent several hours sitting in the ER hyperventilating from pain and passing out, due to a herniated disc in my back. I had to watch at least 5 people go ahead of me, whose only complaints was that their stomach hurt or they felt nauseous. One of these people had a bag of snacks with them. FML

#61, for the next 72 hours. I think the problem is not OP, but you and your ability to read.

Not too far down the line, you'll be looking for new digs if you inflict this on your roommates. Buy the mini fridge.

Gl op. I've been through just about every test and they still have no explanation for me. Just that its autoimmune. I have found a ton of other people with the same symptoms and the same answer. It seems to be related to out fathers' exposure to agent orange. I hope you get an answer and a treatment that helps. Wouldn't wish a life of pain on anyone. I know the tests can sometimes fe dehumanizing, but its just for 72 hours and it could bring an answer. The chance for answers is worth it.

Have you had a bone scan? If its nerve pain (and it even becomes auto-immune) it could be CRPS. I would def ask ur docs about it b/c it took them a year to diagnose mine

Yup had a bone scan. It's muscle, nerve, bone and joint pain. I'm waiting for an insurance issue then I'm onto muscle biopsies. Probably will end up back at mayo clinic now that another dozen symptoms have presented.

My little sister had to do that about a year ago because of stomach problems and my mom didn't want it in the fridge so she kept it packed in ice in one of those really small ice chests. You could always try that.
