Today, I was so excited to play the video game I just bought, I decided to read the manual in the game. I went over the seizure warning and thought to myself, who the hell gets a seizure from playing a video game? Apparently I do. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was introduced to Minecraft. I haven't blinked in 5 hours. FML
Today, my boss's obese bully of a grandson had a seizure. Being the only physician around, I had to rush in to tend to him. Except it wasn't a seizure as such. My daughter had found my taser and used it on him. FML
Today, I was trying to explain to my mom that I've been having panic attacks. I ended up having a panic attack from talking about having a panic attack. FML
Today, I was watching a movie on TV. One of the characters has the same name as my dog, and when his name was called, my dog got so excited that he jumped face-first into my TV. FML
Today, out of curiosity, I took an online test to see if I have ADHD. Halfway through, I got so distracted and bored that I gave up. I guess I know the answer then… FML
Today, I accidentally set my hair on fire while lighting a cigarette. I panicked and put it out by slapping myself in the face. FML
Today, at work, I jumped under my desk in fear of a nuclear missile attack when the firestation next us let out its new awareness siren. I think I'm going insane. FML
Today, as I waited to fly home, a very attractive woman smiled and gestured towards the seat next to me. However, a hyperactive child and his mother barged past into said empty seats. The woman really hit it off with the guy behind, while I was stuck listening to a kid scream at Angry Birds. FML
Today, I was teasing my cat with a piece of string when suddenly my phone rang. I answered it with one hand and put the string down with the other onto my lap. The beast seized the opportunity to spring, claws out, onto my privates. FML
Today, I slammed the car door on my head while I was getting in the car. If that wasn't bad enough, my boyfriend is convinced I now have a concussion and insists on waking me up every hour to make sure I'm still alive. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Heed the warning, bro. They don't make this shit up.

When will people remember this? Just because ALL THE FMLs AUTOMATICALLY start with "Today", it doesn't mean that they happened the same day! Anyway, that sucks a lot, especially if you're a big gamer - I'd be bummed if it were me. I'm curious about what game it was now, though.

If you have an epileptical seizure, its because of a problem in your brain (i'll explain why once science knows why). Not all seizures are epileptical seizures. Any healthy person with a healthy person can have a non-epileptical seizure, and their brain will be just as healthy afterward as it was beforehand. Stay up for 5 days straight - chances are you'll have a seizure. It doesn't mean there is anything wrong with your brain, it just means that you stressed it beyond what it was capable of handling

I'm sorry :(. I get seizures so I know it sucks. At least you didn't find out you had seizures while driving in the car or something. Hope you're feeling okay!

You have nothing better to do with your time than insult people because they have an incurable health problem. Its clear who the loser is, and it isn't the OP

Epilepsy can onset at any time, without any warning. I had no problems at all going to the movie theatre before last year. Now I can't be in a well-lit room with a television on and not have a seizure. I also used to be a heavy gamer, but now I can't play most computer games because of the flashes on screen - I had to quit visiting the gaming sites I spent hours on every week for 10 years because of the return of my epilepsy. And of course, one video game causing a seizure does not mean another one will. There are some games I can't be around at all (pretty much anything on neopets due to contrasting colors), some games I can play early levels on but not the faster levels (ie diner dash), and other games I can play and just be fine (ie pogo's monopoly)
