Today, I got in trouble with my boss for not showing up to work yesterday. It seems going into anaphylactic shock isn't a valid excuse. FML

Today, I was eating a mystery flavored candy and I had an allergic reaction. Not only did I have to go to the hospital because my throat swelled up, but I still don't know what I'm allergic to. FML

Today, I went running for the first time in a few months. I had what I thought was an asthma attack. When I got home, I realized that it was not asthma, but instead I have gained so much weight that my running bra restricted my breathing. FML

Today, while working at a children's day camp, one of the kids who is allergic to peanuts went into anaphylactic shock. I ran and grabbed the boy's Epipen. I was holding it backwards so the injection went into my hand, causing me to pass out, and both of us to be rushed to hospital. FML

Hit the gym

Today, after months of my doctor telling me that my heart palpitations are simply due to anxiety, and that I'm perfectly healthy, I decided to weight train to face my fears. Two hours later, I was in the emergency room. FML

Today, I was feeling really good about going to the gym for the first time. That was until I got so worn out from my “warm up” on the treadmill that I had to go home and spew. FML

Look on the bright side, at least you'll get to meet Dr. House because of it.

It happens if youre just a little allergic to something you eat before you exercise. It's common so don't feel bad and tell anyone who says anything to get ******

Ok, I didn't know that was really possible. I considered saying that in P.E. a few times but thought it was pretty damn stupid and nobody would believe me anyway. Maybe I was wrong. Crap.

This is physiologically impossible. You cannot be allergic to exercise! You are allergic to something you ate before you did the exercise and the exercise exacerbated the reaction. I know this because I'm a nurse.
