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.

I went through something similar and nothing showed up on tests. Finally, we found out it was allergies, but NOT a food allergy (which you should check out first). Regular allergies (hay fever, dust mites, etc.) can also cause nausea and vomiting and simply taking a daily antihistamine fixed it. But definitely go and see another doctor, I hope you can find the cause soon.

it could be so many things! I would get a second opinion at a different practice because this sounds like it's serious. I ended up with liver failure ignoring symptoms. You don't wanna procrastinate or ignore anything related to your physical and emotional health.

Your doctor's an idiot. That's what specialists are for

I would say OP to get a second opinion and if they tell you that there is nothing wrong physically I would go to a psychiatrist, because there are disorders that present physical symptoms without and underlying physical cause. And don't worry what people may say, we all have mental issues, some of our issues break from what we consider the "norm"

Don't believe the doctors OP. You know when something's wrong with your own body. I had glandular fever for 6 months before being diagnosed. My doctors kept telling my mother she was being over protective and there was nothing wrong with me. Mum kept bothering the doctors until they sent me to a specialist. You need to do the same. (Otherwise try and elimination diet - you might be allergic to something?)

at first i was wondering why would you wait a couple of months to get tested, but then i saw you were from USA. FYL OP, i hope you find what causes it :)

It may just be stress or anxiety, which can easily cause problems, or you may have a stomach disorder such as IBS, which is triggered by stress, foods, and other things.. it varies per person really. I suggest go to your pharmacist, they know more about drugs and treatment than doctors, and they can give you a stomach settler if anything. Good luck :)
