Today, I forgot my inhaler. I had an asthma attack and had to go to the ER. The doctors told me it wasn't an asthma attack. It was just a panic attack from worrying about whether I would get an asthma attack. FML

That sucks. And to the people saying "lame", "YDI", etc. Asthma is serious business. People die without their inhalers. That's like worrying about not having a parachute while skydiving. the OP had every right to freak out for forgetting their inhaler.

Aw, that's one of those things that isn't funny at the time but you'll laugh about it later. I don't have asthma but panic attacks are never fun :( And to all the people who leave comments saying YDI or that you should just get over it - unless you have asthma or know someone who has and suffers from attacks I don't think you have the right to judge whether this is a true FML. Also - have you never left something important behind before? Hope you feel better now though x

#60 - You ******* idiot. Asthma does not just "go away", you moron. If you have asthma, then you have it for the rest of your life. You can't just up and decide you don't want it anymore. Now when your stupid ass dies from an asthma attack one day, don't say no one didn't warn your dumb ass. DIAF! #66 - You ******* douchebag. You're not a doctor, so you're stupid ass don't know wtf you're even talking about. I have asthma and I'm far from fat. Go kill yourself retard. # 96 - You're just a ******* dumb ass. You go kill yourself, too.

awwwww... its okay.. at school, someone had an asthma attack as well.. i felt sooooo bad because i thought he might die. but your lucky it wasn't tooooooo serious... feel better... :)

To #60, #66, and anyone else who has made reference to weight... Just because you have asthma does not mean you're overweight. How idiotic to think such a thing! It's like diabetes... people have a misconception that diabetics are overweight, but there are plenty of diabetics who aren't overweight. As for the people claiming asthma is a joke, it IS not a joke. Many people die from their attacks. While for SOME people it can be a "mind over matter" type of deal, it cannot be that way for everyone... we're all different. Let's respect that.

LOL! but at least you're alive and its a pretty good story to tell [:

I stayed home sick for three days, and i forgot my inhaler at school. on the third day I could barely breathe or sleep and back was tight and I thought I'd die. I went to the clinic and found out I had a lung infection. I went to my school afterhours to get my inhaler. I could've stopped breathing if I wouldn have went to the clinic and my school. I hate asthma.

You don't always grow out of it, I have had asthma caused (mostly) by pollen nearly every year since I was 5.

I had a panic attack about getting a panic attack once. I had to go all the way to the hospital to find that out lol. I feel your pain. Best of luck to youl
