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.

Some doctors lie I'd see another doctor.

That doesn't really happen that much, and if it did, it would more likely be so the doctor can prescribe you more meds instead of less, so he can charge you...

It isn't really that uncommon. My sister also had this problem but when she was young. For no apparent reason she vomitted. Doctors said it was due to a lot of stress.

Being lactose intolerant can cause severe to mild nausea. Just a thought..

Get another doctor. When I was 17 I had an undiagnosed blood clot in my arm that grew to 6 inches and started to form in my jugular. A piece broke off and went into my lung, I went to the doctor multiple times in one week and she kept saying there was nothing wrong with me and it was all in my head. We found out about the clot when I was about a day away from death. Never consider a lack of a diagnosis as a diagnosis.

No. It's called psychosomatic.

This. Even if it IS psychosomatic, a doctor who won't listen to their patients is not a good doctor and you deserve better.

My douchbag docter said the same thing to my parents when I was a baby. Turned out it was serious and I almost died.

My friend suffered from something similar for months on end and sever vomiting multiple times a day. She ended up on very strong antibiotics and seeing multiple gastroenterologists before getting it under control. Maybe keep your eye on it! Try a holiday too, as suggested it could be stress...

Oh, I know this feel, I've been running from doctor to doctor for the last 4 years, nothing wrong with me they say.. In the meantime I can barely eat, lose weight like crazy and my heartbeat goes through the roof.. All in your head, my ass, I haven't been able to work for 1 days cause I keep passing out.
