Today, I got my medical checkup back. Apparently, I'm diagnosed with a liver condition generally found in alcoholics. I've never drank in my life. FML

Today, after coming back from a trip to Africa where I got malaria, I went to the hospital for some blood tests. The doctor said, "Good news! You never had malaria! But they put you through a lot of dangerous treatments and now your liver has an anomaly." FML

Today, I was diagnosed with a condition that makes me lactate. I'm a 6' tattooed guy with a boxing competition coming up soon. I'm never going to hear the end of this. FML

Today, my physician, a known drunk himself, told me I was drinking too much and I should quit before my kidneys decide to divorce me and take the house and car with them. FML

Today, I found out my father didn't have a rare brain disease, and that he was just an alcoholic. I've been taking care of him every time his "brain disease" acts up, for 2 years. FML

Cute trick, asshole

Today, the guy I've been seeing decided to "test the theory" that I can't drink alcohol due to a liver condition by mixing some into my drinks. He then complained that my ceaseless vomiting made his bathroom smell bad, and only took me to hospital when I started having a seizure. FML

Today, I threw up due to food poisoning. Despite my fever and pain, my wife is completely convinced it was from secretly drinking, and I am now "PERMANENTLY FORBIDDEN" from drinking anything alcoholic. FML

Today, I went to see a doctor due to some gastric distress I have. I came out with directions to buy a blood pressure monitor, I'm prohibited from doing sports, and have a possible diagnosis of arterial hypertension which I am way too young to have. FML

Today, I finally went to the doctor for a condition I've had all my life. Turns out it was easily cured with a simple pill. I peed in my pants everyday for 27 years for nothing. FML

Today, at dinner, I accidentally let it slip that I'd taken a small sip of alcohol a few years ago and hated it. My extremely strict parents are now trying to get me into rehab. FML

You can get liver problems if you mess around with pills. Same thing happened to my grandpa. Only one in my family who didn't drink a day in his life, but his doctors over-medicated him for a heart condition and he died from liver failure. I'd check any drugs you've been taking.

"Generally found in alcoholics" - that means not always. This is an FML because you were diagnosed with a liver problem, but the fact that alcoholics often have the same condition has nothing to do with anything..

Look on the bright side - if you HAD drank, it probably would have worsened it.

It's called Cirrhosis. Stop eating fatty foods and you'll lose the scar tissue. Cirrhosis is generally attributed to alcoholics. However, high fat diets which causes obesity is now a leading trend in the disease. Have fun losing weight!

you'll lose the scar tissue? no...a fatty liver does not contain scar tissue...it is just that, fat, hence fatty liver

i said FYL cause you've never drank a day in your life! And #37 i think they got the point about "generally" that's why they added the "i've never drank a day in my life." Thats why its a "FML" duh.

#38 legit_tofit and #35 kitty34 i think thats the f-ed up part - the op tried to do the healthy thing by not drinking and still got the diagnosis - a diagnosis mainly caused by drinking - so everyone will assume theyre an alcoholic - like all the other comments on this where people assume the op is a druggie or fat. op i wish you the best in treatments. by not drinking you should have a higher chance of a healthy immune system.
