Today, after months of random vomiting with no apparent cause, I finally got some tests done. The doctor says there's nothing wrong with me and that it's all just in my head. Great. FML

Today, I hit the six-year mark for daily vomiting. All the doctor can say is that it's psychological. FML
Today, my doctor informed me that the tests we've been doing the previous months show no sign of leukemia. I was just about to express my relief when he casually followed up with, "Never mind, there's still a lot of other blood-related diseases we need to look out for." FML
Today, I saw my doc about the painful swelling I've had in my arm all week. He seemed totally out of it, and ended up telling me it's all in my head, despite the swelling. When I respectfully suggested it might be a blood issue, he just said, "Nah". FML
Today, my doctor called with my test results, which seem to tell him that there's absolutely nothing wrong with me. I'm still sitting here with an appendage that I'd swear was dispensing napalm, but now I have a $500 bill to go with it. FML
Today, I went to the doctor with some serious physical symptoms that amount to being effectively disabled. She didn’t even ask any questions or examine me before telling me it was all purely psychological. I barely managed to convince her to at least order some blood tests, as a formality. FML
Today, after decades of 24/7 cognitive impairment and being made to feel like a hypochondriac by many doctors over the years, I learned I have a severe physical illness. I kept researching and discovered my own illness, found out which test to ask for, and finally showed doctors proof. FML
Today, I had an endoscopy and nothing wrong was found. So why have I been vomiting up everything, including water, for the past 10 days? FML
Today, I was at the doctors office after throwing up for the past week. My diagnosis? Apparently I'm the first pregnant man. After several minutes of me freaking out and him explaining how it was possible, he told me he was joking and that I'm fine, but my reaction was the best thus far. FML
Today, I went to see a doctor because I have been feeling of pressure in my chest. After running numerous tests, I was told I was perfectly healthy and had nothing to worry about. I made it as far as the front door before I collapsed and had to be rushed to the hospital. FML
Today, I felt a very sharp pain, like my appendix was going to burst. After going to the doctor, I was rushed to the hospital to get tests done. The doctors later told me there's nothing wrong, I was just constipated. I went to the hospital for them to basically tell me I'm full of shit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You should have vomited in his office and then asked if that was in your head too.

I was doing that for awhile, later I came to realize that it was because I was stressed about something that I kept denying.

You need a new doctor. My doc told me my allergy to over the counter pain killers was in my head, and I was perscribed Percocet, and I was put in the hospital because of the so called "in my head" allergy. But seriously, get a knew doctor. Preferably polish. Stay away from asian's. They only go by the book, and if something doesn't match the book, they guess!

My friend had that and it turned out that it was a type of migraine that doesn't occur as a headache. Good luck!

The cause is you were trying to have sex with a woman even though you are gay. Being so unfathomably nervous you vomited. The doc is right bro.

That happened to me for over 4 years, turns out it was parasites in my liver. Doctors are the worst, I had to resort to a naturopath. Hope this helps :)

Do you think this could possibly be anxiety/stress related? I had similar symptoms when I was younger and frequently had anxiety attacks.

My doctor told me that to look up chronic vomiting syndrome. It's hard to get diagnosed but it's better than being told your stupid

This same sort of thing happened to me too, I went in after having months of nausea, dizziness and vomiting. The doctor took blood (me almost passing out in the process). Then said it was nothing, maybe "a little stress"

Get a different doctor. Some doctors can't admit that they have no idea what's wrong. They seem to not realize the "all in your head" bit is not true most of the time.
