Today, due to the heat, I had a deadly asthma attack. Where was my inhaler? My dad pawned it for beer money. What did my dad do about my attack? Told me to quit being a Drama Queen. I had to go across the street and beg for a ride to the ER from my neighbor. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had an asthma attack while walking home with my friends. As I was struggling to breathe, they thought I was attention-seeking and left me on the floor. FML
Today, I forgot my inhaler. I had an asthma attack and had to go to the ER. The doctors told me it wasn't an asthma attack. It was just a panic attack from worrying about whether I would get an asthma attack. FML
Today, while driving me to the hospital because I was having an asthma attack, my mother lit a cigarette. FML
Today, I asked my parents to babysit my kids for an hour so that I could visit the doctor for my asthma, which has worsened over the past two days. Apparently I'm a bad mother, and it's OK if I stop breathing, but shouldn't leave my kids to go out alone. My husband was at the gym the entire evening. FML
Today, I had an asthma attack while in bed with my boyfriend. He interrupted my desperate coughing only to tell me to shut up. He then rolled over to go back to sleep. FML
Today, I woke up to find my car broken into. They also took the inhaler that fell out of my bag the night before. The one I needed to stop the asthma attack I had from the stress of having my car broken into. FML
Today, because I thought I was about to have an asthma attack, I had a panic attack. Then, the panic attack caused me to have a real asthma attack. FML
Today, my doctor told me my asthma was being triggered by my dad's smoking. He wrote a note to my dad, asking him to refrain from smoking while around me. My dad took one look at the note, then threw it in the trash, saying the doctor "doesn't know what he's talking about." FML
Today, once again I tried to convince my dad to stop smoking. And once again, while I was speaking, he lit up a cigarette and smoked until my asthma flared up and I was wheezing so hard that I had to leave the room. FML
Today, due to the high pollen count and despite taking hay fever medicine, I passed out in the bathroom from not being able to breathe. My mother accused me of doing it on purpose to make her late for work. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

When you get home, pour all his booze down the sink, and repeat for the rest of his life.

completely agree with #17.. you cant pawn an inhaler.. its perscribed meds.. why wld somebody got to a pawn shop to purshase a half used out inhaler?.. your doc wld give it to you for free.. this FML by far was the biggest BS ever on here..

a pawn shop won't give money for prescription drugs. if this is true, dad had to sell it to a private person.

obviously OP meant near-deadly, which asthma that's bad enough can be, even though it's rare. it also definitely feels like you're dying. as for pawning things off, try thinking on roadside, with drug dealers, instead of a pawn shop. inhalant drugs can be used for a lot of different things, but they're prescription, so they aren't easy for crackheads to get a hold of a lot of times.

If it was deadly, you would be dead.

Hmm, well I was just going to sign in to comment, but you pretty much covered exactly what I was thinking. =] OP FYL that so sucks. I'm glad your neighbor cared enough at least.

okay, you're a ******* dumbass. you actually think crackheads, or anyone else, tries to buy albuterol inhalers from drug dealers on the street? no. no, they don't. no one uses asthma inhalers to get high. because you can't. i've heard of some people using them to lose weight, but those people generally aren't drug addicts. OP's dad didn't sell a used, half empty inhaler "on the street" or in a pawn shop, or ANYWHERE, because this fml is complete bullshit. and even if you could, do you really think a middle-aged father would have the hook-ups to sell 'drugs'?

"and even if you could, do you really think a middle-aged father would have the hook-ups to sell 'drugs'?" Because the only people who sell drugs are teenage hoodlums...?

#56 not every inhaler is Albuterol. Advair has steroids in it and that's actually the inhaler I use.

Advair is not a rescue inhaler.

"and even if you could, do you really think a middle-aged father would have the hook-ups to sell 'drugs'?" Yes, I know so. I know parents of 19-20 year-olds who smoke pot. Wanna try that again?

You had an asthma attack in the heat? Not that I'm fully doubting, but I've only had mine in areas like Texas (allergies), and then the other people I know have had it caused by height, *more* allergies, etc. Never heard of it being brought on by HEAT. FYL.

My friend's asthma was triggered by heat. Poor air circulation and what-not. She had to complain to her RA in the dorm because it was getting to be summer and they didn't have air conditioning, and they also weren't allowed to open windows...

irb081 alot and or most inhalers don't cost 20 bucks it's usually more Like I kno mine cost 75 bucks with the fact of insurance paying for half meaning it cost more.
