Health: Today I woke up with an extremely bad flu and severe nausea....

Today I woke up with an extremely bad flu and severe nausea. As I rolled around wanting to die I remembered that 4 days prior, I had hoped to get a cold to skip a compulsary carol service for my Catholic school. Now, on Christmas Eve, I just want to say, be careful what you wish for. 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

Today, for the first time in years, my period is early. I woke up at 5 a.m. with the worst cramps I've ever had in my life. Medicine isn't helping. It's literally so bad I feel like I want to throw up. It's fucking Christmas but hey, it wouldn't be 2022 if my garbage pile of a body wasn't ruining something for me. FML

Today, I woke up with the worst cold, ever. My nose was running like crazy and my eyes were all puffy. So I stumbled over to the medicine cabinet and took what I thought were three tylenol cold's. Two hours later I'm still sick and I can't leave the bathroom. They were laxatives. FML

Today, I had a horrible case of the flu. I have a fever of 102 degrees and I can't breathe through my nose. Choosing to sleep it off turns out to be enough for my mom to call me a lazy fuck and scream at me for doing nothing all day. FML

Sick

Today, I was supposed to work with this girl I really like, but I had the flu really bad. I really really wanted to see her so I forced myself out of bed and went to work feeling terrible but determined to see her face. When I got to work I asked where she was. She had called in sick with the flu. FML

Today, my period has given to me 4 giant zits, 3 screaming shits, 2 stomach ulcers, and a fever blister on my lips. A few days until Christmas and the gifts keep coming. FML

Man up

Today, I woke up with horrible pain in my gut. It got worse and worse, and I started vomiting from the pain. My mom said it was the flu and that I needed to "man up." It turned out to be appendicitis, and I'm now typing this from my hospital bed. FML

Today, I was miserable with a cold. So I ordered soup and noodles from a new Chinese restaurant. Now I am miserable with a cold and food poisoning. FML

Today, I woke up with the flu. My wife thinks I'm faking it so we don't have to go on date night, even though I've been on the toilet all day. FML

12, their FML actually made me think of a vertigo episode. Not really sure why but it did. When I had my first really bad episode, I was feverish and nauseous so it kinda made me think OP might have that instead of an actual flu. Again, not really sure why. Try dramamine for the nauseous, though, OP.

Damn that's harsh. Well at least there is a lesson to be learned, I'll be sure to mail you a puke bucket for Christmas.

And that lesson is: ignore all the times you wish something bad would happen and nothing does. Instead, be superstitious. Watch what you wish for, avoid black cats, and throw salt over your shoulder like you're bailing out a lead boat.

Superstitious are fun though.

Hopefully you get well soon, and this doesn't entirely ruin the holidays for you.

That's harsh, well at least there is a lesson to be learned I guess. Get well soon and I hope you try to have a Merry Christmas.

They also say "you are what you eat". Only logical solution is to consume all the bread at Holy Communion. People will be singing you carols and celebrating your birthday instead.

...so, you went from singing carols to the blues!

What are the symptoms for your flu? The nausea makes me think it might be something else that could be cured with some medication.

People usually say "flu" when they actually mean gastroenteritis (when it's something that comes with nausea/vomiting). That bugs me.

Are you still in grade school? I went to catholic school from kindergarten to high school and during high school there was nothing during winter break that had forced participation... And on grade school, I believe our Christmas music show/mass was a few days before actual Christmas as people were expected to potentially be visiting family which could mean beyond the state borders. That doesn't sound like catholic school-like but more 9th circle of hell-like. But yeah I'm pretty sure by high school we we could be forced to do anything after hours unless it was something we signed up for it e.g. band, choir, sports team, literal sign up sheet), barring graduation and community service hours, but what we did for community service wasn't dictated. Of course, you could be part of the schools choir... which makes me less sympathetic as your "wish" was wanting to cop out of your responsibilities. you should have known from day one you guys would be doing something for christmas. So yeah, I don't have enough info to judge either way.
