By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I'm still coughing. I was diagnosed with whooping cough last week, which apparently cannot be treated. Basically, it appears I'm a 19th century English peasant. FML

Sounds like #6 has it. Nearly eradicated in developed nations since the 1970s, whooping cough is apparently on the rise again because modern parents are all sociopaths/brave protectors of precious snowflake. Go, parents!

Um...what do slaves have anything to do with this FML? And OP, what about cough syrup? Won't that help at all? I find it hard to believe that in this day and age, there isn't something that would help a cough, even a very severe one.

The body has to get rid of it on it's own and the cough lasts for a good couple of months

It's a bacterial infection. Antibiotics will treat whooping cough.

This is why people need to get vaccinated. Also enjoy the next few months of coughing!
