Health: Royal flush

Royal flush

Today, I went for my first eye test ever. Turns out I have astigmatism and need glasses. This is already on top of me already having a hearing aid, having hypertension of my joints, autism, and endometriosis. FML

Today, I went to have my ears cleaned out because I’ve been experiencing signs of deafness. Guess what? My ears were already clear. I need hearing aids. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve lost my hair, some of my sight, and some teeth, so yeah, why not my hearing at this point… FML

Today, I went to the eye doctor. For the past three days every time I wear my glasses I become nauseous, get migraines, and have that "fish-eye view" where everything is rounded. Turns out they placed my lenses on the wrong sides. FML

Today, I went to the eye doctor. He tells me that I've developed a severe allergy to contact lenses and must stop wearing them immediately. It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't just visited him a week earlier, paid for a new prescription and ordered a year's worth of brand new lenses. FML

Today, I broke my glasses. My eyesight is horrible, I can’t see things that aren’t super close to my face. I'm supposed to drive to another state tomorrow. FML

Today, it was my first day with new contacts, but I found out they make my eyes red and itchy. Today was also the day I had a very important meeting. They think I showed up stoned. FML

Today, I finally got over the knee injury that has been holding back my military application for 6 months. They sent me to the optometrist, who said my eyes were too bad for service. FML

Today, I went with my boyfriend to the optometrist for him to buy contact lenses for the first time. He said the detail was much better than glasses. I excitedly asked him if he could see my freckles better now, and after a long and disappointed look at my face, he said "Nope, just more acne." FML

Today, I woke up thinking after wearing glasses and contacts all my life that I had miraculously been corrected to 20/20. Turns out I had just fallen asleep with my contacts in. FML

Today, I noticed that the glasses I got this week seemed off balance. A further inspection showed that one of my ears is bigger than the other. Through even further inspection, my family concluded that the entire right side of my body is higher than my left. FML

Heaven knows I'm miserable now

By Well shit - 11/04/2023 08:00 - United States

Today, I found out at a routine check-up that I may have asthma. How it went unnoticed until now, I do not know. I guess the world just needed to come up with a new way to make me miserable. FML

With all of your serious conditions, astigmatism is kind of a joke. It's anticlimactic. It'd be like saying you have cancer...and a mosquito bite.

Hypertension of your joints isn’t really a thing. Hypertension means high blood pressure, which you may have, but doesn’t have anything to do with your joints. Maybe you meant to write hypermobility of your joints and it was an autocorrect issue.

Get C9ntacts. The TORIC lens are light and being able to see is SO worth it. I have had contacts for my Astigmatisms for over 20 years and you likely will find them indispensable.

Well, the mosquito bite could carry malaria or some similar disease. Then again, I doubt anyone ever died from slightly subpar eyesight....

I should have specified the species of mosquito as one not known to carry malaria, dengue, Zika, West Nile, etc. I shouldn't have underestimated the intellectual heft of the FML readers!😂😂😂

That all sucks and I understand the feeling. I’m extremely nearsighted (20/400) as well as having PCOS, a thyroid autoimmune disorder, a heart condition, a circulation disorder, and extreme anxiety. Every time I find out I have some new problem it’s exceedingly frustrating, so I can imagine this would be very upsetting for you.
