Today, I finally went to the doctor for a condition I've had all my life. Turns out it was easily cured with a simple pill. I peed in my pants everyday for 27 years for nothing. FML

Today, after 8 days of being on a medication that makes it hard to go to the bathroom and no luck taking laxatives and drinking coffee and apple juice, I finally got to go. Too bad I was at my desk at work when it happened. I washed out my pants in the bathroom and got to sit in wet pants for 4 hours. FML
Today, I spent two hours trying to catch a urine sample whilst at urgent care due to my inability to pee in public restrooms. I finally managed one, and was so excited by my success that I fumbled it and spilled it on my pants. FML
Today, I went to the doctor for a physical. I've been sitting in the doctor's bathroom for 10 minutes now, trying to think of how to tell him I accidentally tripped and spilled my urine sample on the carpet. FML
Today, I've been chronically constipated so long that I was actually grateful for the sudden blast of diarrhea that ruined my pants. FML
Today, a day after after I took a diet pill, I participated in a sprint test. I shat in my pants. I finished the test but got a bad grade. FML
Today, the bladder infection I thought I was over flared up at work, causing me to piss myself, despite having gone twice in the previous hour. I still had to finish my shift, soaked pants and all. FML
Today, I had to go to the clinic for a physical. The nurse asked me for a pee sample; however, I had no urine to give. After 20 minutes of standing at the stall I was able to squeeze half a cup of pee. As I approached the sink to cover the sample, I somehow managed to drop it all over myself. FML
Today, I went in to the doctor's thinking I had a bladder infection. I walked out knowing I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I was holding in pee because i was so busy at work. When I finally got up to relieve myself, I pulled down my pants, sneezed at that exact moment and peed all over the bathroom floor. FML
Today, I had to get a urine analysis done for my doctor. I take medicine that makes me a little shaky sometimes. Guess who spilled their pee all over themselves while trying to put the lid on. FML

I'm unsure why it took you 27 years to do this. I understand it can be embarrassing but in my mind it's even more embarrassing to have this happen to you during the day.

Why would you, or your parents not visit a doctor?

I would be interested to hear the follow up on this. Had you been advised previously that it was a chronic condition?

If you don't mind me asking, why would you wait that long to finally see a doctor about this condition? And since you say you had it all your life, I can assume your parents were most likely aware of this, so why didn't they attempt to make an effort to take you to one?

Why so long to see the doctor?

I'm happy for you and all that you're not pissing yourself anymore, but, as others have asked, why the hell would you wait TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS??? You unneccesarily pissed yourself OVER NINE THOUSAND times for something cured WITH A PILL. YDI.

Since there isn't a location, maybe OP is from a place where healthcare is extremely difficult to get or borderline nonexistent and recently got somewhere that does have access to it. I don't know. Just healthcare isn't the same everywhere.

Well despite the 27 years of never handling the problem at least you have it being treated now. I mean imagine you at 80 with that prob. More mature folk already have an issue with that as years get up there.

Glad you got it taken care of, that it wasn't serious. People like to harp on from their high horses, but I can bet that if it were serious, not only would you have felt it/ realized it physically/ mentally, but you would have gotten it checked sooner. There's so many reasons that you might not have gone, from parents or family, to fighting your own mind or fear or crippling anxiety. Your normal average person may not be able to understand, sympathize, or empathize. I had a bad injury as a teen but my parents would not let me go get a head scan, and even threatened me. So I was too terrified to do anything, and that fear affected me after 18 for awhile. So I understand extenuating circumstances. Thought again, in your case having accidents daily was probably just an annoyance if anything. Worst thing is you have to wear pads daily or even diapers.

They threatened you? How ****** up is that?

I'm torn on which way to vote on this. 25 years, maybe 26 is a clear FYL. But 27, that's YDI all the way.

Why would you wait? It seems like you'd go as soon as you realized it was some sort of medical issue.
