Health: Today, I've been sick with both a chest cold and a sore throat....

By Zak - 23/03/2012 23:10 - United States

Today, I've been sick with both a chest cold and a sore throat. As a result, I've also been dehydrated, causing me to have a headache. Whenever I cough, I feel like my throat is being ripped apart and my head is about to explode. FML

The Trifecta

Today, after blacking out from fever, I found out that the reason I've been feeling so sick is that I've somehow come down with pneumonia, strep, and the common cold all at the same time. FML

Can't win

Today, I came down with painful sores in my mouth, just after having gotten over a cold. Apparently I'm allergic to the cough drops I've been eating for the past week to make myself feel better. FML

Pink eye, white throat

By Stephanie Kugelman - 27/04/2022 22:00

Today, I'd finally had enough of feeling awful and went to urgent care. As it turns out, the reason my throat was sore was because I have a sinus infection. The doctor explained my nose is producing pus, and that's what I'm swallowing and coughing up. Yuck. I also have pink eye on top of that. FML

Today, I'm sick with the worst head cold of my life. For some reason whenever I cough, I also fart. Everyone thinks I'm just trying to cover up flatulence with fake coughing. FML

Today, I woke up with really sore abs; not from working out at the gym, but because I've been coughing for 3 days straight and nothing is helping. Now every time I cough, it physically hurts. FML

Today, I had a cold and was vomiting. I sneezed really hard, smacking my nose onto the toilet seat. I woke up a few minutes later with my nose bleeding, painful, and still stuffy. FML

Asshat

Today, I woke up with a sore throat and a stuffy nose. As my boss is an asshat who hates allowing sick leave, I thought I could power through it, but halfway through my workday I sneezed so hard that I threw my back out. I had to go home early and now I can't move without pain. FML

Today, I have a tooth infection that's spread to my jaw and ear. It hurts so badly that I'm practically in tears. Today's also the day I found out I'm allergic to the medication I was prescribed. Everything hurts, I'm covered in hives, and I can't stop throwing up. FML

Today, I'm stuck in bed with a fever, aches, and nasty cough. My kids and husband had it too, and kept coughing without covering their mouths, despite my asking several times so I wouldn't get sick. FML

Today, I’m currently battling a cold that caused me to call into work yesterday and, as of this morning, I’ve also started my period and have the most painful cramps ever. Good thing I have the day off from work. FML

I had that last week, but I didn't complain to the world about it. Deal with it pussy!

That's nothing. I had cancer, AIDS, SARS, Bulbonic Plague, migraines, and genital warts. I also killed Hitler with my bare hands. Also, Ronald Reagan was the devil, George W. Bush planned 9/11, and Barack Obama is socialist, Muslim, kenyan who is going to destroy the United States. It's on the internet, it must be true. Everything is true on the internet.

I don't get why there are so many YDIs. It's not his fault he's sick. Hope you get better soon, OP.

Get some water, some medicine, and get off the computer. That sucks that you're sick like that, but I have a hard time being sympathetic when you have enough energy to get on FML and post about it.

What else do you do when you're sick and you can't sleep because your cough, upset tummy, vomiting, etc... is keeping you awake? I know that you don't, seriously, just lay in bed and stare at the ceiling! Lighten up and give OP a break! It's not against the law to be on FML when you're sick!
