Today, I have an ear infection. The pain from it radiates from my ear all the way down the left side of my face, so my doctor prescribed me something that makes half of my face numb and pretty much unusable. Tomorrow, I have to give a presentation on strokes for my med class. Go figure. FML

Maybe you'll get extra points for having a life-like presentation! :P

What a stroke of bad luck, OP. I'm willing to lend you an ear here for all your pains and greivances. I'm not infect qualified to tell you any medical advice, but I can sympathise for your problems at face value. I hope this doesn't sound lame to you, but I feel for you, OP. Chin up, stiff upper lip, and all that, if you can.

your fml just got me in trouble in my trade practices class... I laughed uncontrollably for 2 minutes. fml

Then don't look at your phone in class. Problem solved

It's not even that funny. I have yet to find an FML where I laugh out loud.

Then you haven't been on here long enough 33.

How long does the "stroke" side effect last? If possible, just don't take the medication the morning of your presentation, and work through the pain. If that doesn't work, like others have said, you'll just be giving a super realistic presentation.

Can you say irony? It sucks that the timing of this is a bad as it is, but if there is a silver lining in this, try to hold on to that during your presentation tomorrow

That's not irony, that's just unfortunate.

Irony... Yup, I can definitely say it.

You should get extra credit for going the extra mile and putting the physical symptoms on display for your presentation! Sorry Op.

Would suck if that medication made the wrong side of your face go numb....

I don't really think there's a correct side...

Oh... if there was, and that happend to you. That would be an awesome fml lol

Just think of it as getting into character.

I had a ear infection earlier this year and let me tell you. My heart goes out to you. I rather have a numb face then feel that pain ever again. FYL

Hopefully it doesn't affect your speech.

Playing Alanis Morisette's 'isn't it ironic?'

Yeah, that way the whole class will know how it feels to have an ear infection.
