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

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?

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

OP: You either can't tell a story worth shit, or else you're full of it. I've had asthma most of my life and spent much of my childhood at the doctor and in the hospital. The one time I had an attack serious and sudden enough to be "deadly," I was out in public alone. I stumbled into a store, collapsed and rode in an ambulance to the hospital. Someone having a "deadly" attack doesn't have the breath to "beg," let alone walk across the street. Gimme a frickin break.

Totally agree! "Deadly" asthma means you are trying to get in the most comfortable position to be able to breath, and your rescue inhaler would do nothing. There is NO possible way someone in that much extremis could walk across the street and beg. I'm not talking about normal asthma attacks. I know those can be handled easier. I'm talking about horrible (near deadly) ones, as the OP clearly stated his was.

My thoughts exactly! I was going to call this story BS, because if you're having an Asthma attack, running across the street would only make it worse.
