Today, I'm sitting in the ER with my 6 ovarian cyst rupture. The pain meds have already worn off and my vag hurts. I also had my gallbladder removed last June, and my right ovary removed last January. The staff here remember me. Most expensive friends I've ever had. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was diagnosed with a severe bladder infection that has left me in excruciating pain. A month ago, I had an ovarian cyst rupture. A few weeks before that, I badly sprained my elbow. Before that, I had the flu. I think my body is mutinying one organ system at a time. FML
Today, I went to the hospital with stomach pains. I found out I have mono, as well as a ruptured ovarian cyst, which may need surgery. I called my best friend for support, only for her to drunkenly yell at me for not being at her party, and that this could have waited till a better time. FML
Today, I’m at my third ER visit in a week for an extremely painful ovarian cyst. The people next to me are reading aloud from a Christian Science book. I’m in hell. FML
Today, I had an ovarian cyst rupture at work, causing sudden severe stomach cramps; this caused my bowels to release everything right then and there, while on the phone with a customer, in the middle of the call center surrounded by 200 other sales reps. FML
Today, I was supposed to be enjoying a long-anticipated, desperately needed, weekend away. Turns out those "little stomach twinges" were actually symptoms of appendicitis. I'm stuck in the hospital, alone, recovering from surgery, while my family is enjoying our non-refundable break. FML
Today, I had the most excruciating pain I've ever felt in my lower right abdomen. I was doubled over and vomiting it hurt so bad. After going to the E.R., thinking it was my appendix and getting checked in, I let out the biggest most rancid fart in my life and the pain immediately went away. FML
Today, I got a bartholin cyst drained. The doctor told me to keep it clean and dry, no pain meds given, just swelling and a catheter. I almost passed out a short while afterwards so I went to the ER. Now I’m drugged up and sitting in one spot for the next few days. FML
Today, after starting a new job, having two ovarian cysts rupture and been in and out of the hospital twice in a week, I'd been told that I couldn't work, needed surgery, and could lose my ovary. I’m 23. I was told that my job was secure and not to worry. I received my termination letter. FML
Today, after suffering probably my worst night of appendicitis, which consisted of vomiting, diarrhea, and going to the doctor, starving, only to find out a couple of hours later in the hospital ER that I'm allergic to penicillin and close to dying. Again. FML
Today, I went to the hospital due to vomiting and abdominal pain, and they decided to fit me with an IV drip. It took several tries by two different people to get the cannula in. I feel like a human pin-cushion. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I feel you OP. I have Crohn's Disease along with other disorders and am hospitalized often and live with severe chronic pain and now need my gallbladder removed. Hang in there. Things do get better. 💜

When is America going to join the rest of the first world and get Universal Healthcare? And before anyone starts on taxes, yes we pay a bit more taxes but we've got lots to show for it. I really don't see the point of having low taxes if you need to go into deep debts over medical expenses or education.

Same here!! Chronic illness buddies without gallbladders 🖤✨ lol. In the hospital constantly. With the war against opioids right now, it makes it a horrible time being there.. but at least some of the nurses are nice!

And that's the reason I only go to the hospital if I am dying. I don't have a 8 grand to pay for a 20 dollar ace bandage or a few stitches when I can just as easily solve it from it from home.

As a woman I had severe abdominal pain (I’d never had a ruptured cyst before) I didn’t go in because I was worried it was gas or “just” a ruptured cyst. I didn’t want to go to the ER for nothing. Well I ended up needing to call paramedics because I kept passing out and my husband was gone. I had a hemorrhaged cyst and lost 2.5 liters of blood internally. I nearly died and they did a surgery to remove my ovary because they thought the pain was from it twisting. Thankfully I got to keep my ovary but nearly died from blood loss. Soooo please don’t be like me and assume it’s nothing.
