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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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 put YDI for waiting that long. Obviously that wasn't common and it's best to find out than be afraid of the diagnosis. Or too lazy, I suppose.

I had something similar from the age of 9 to 13, at the younger age doctors said it was normal, I had to insist they check me again as I got older. Turns out I needed surgery and I'm now 29 and haven't wet the bed in nearly 20 years. Don't be neglectful of your health people, no matter how embarrassing it is.

First 18 years while in parent's care - FYL, from 18 to 27 YDI. OMG 9 years waiting? Or you secretly enjoyed it? Ewww

Besides, there is no point being embarrassed about a medical condition, doctors have seen it all, that's their job.

You could have asked google about it.

I think many people here have not fully considered the context. Most children want and need to believe their parent are good, trustworthy people who love them. In most cases like OP's the. Hold would likely have worn diapers for years beyond the age of his peers which likely isolated him Even wearing an external catheter attached to a urine collection pouch strapped to your leg can be both physically and emotionally limiting. As a child it seems he was likely told to just accept it and deal with it. There are several religious faiths that do not permit medical intervention, not even a consultation with a doctor. It does not matter whether his worldview was limited by a religious perspective or just the habits and personal beliefs of his parents and family. Certainly I think you can deduct the first 18 of 27 years. Even after having moved away from home at 18 I can very easily see why he might not have thought to consider seeking a medical opinion. And even once it occurred to him to research his problem on Google the ability, as many have already stated, there are lots of very good, valid reasons he may not have been able to access the correct medical care. I apologize for using the male pronouns throughout my reply. I don't recall any indication of gender in the original post but this could apply to any gender. I was to say that while I'm sure when you looked back, a lot of your past sucked, but please don't blame yourself. And please don't let anyone here convince you that you deserve any blame. Best of luck.

Was this the first time you sought treatment for this? If I were pissing myself everyday I would have seen a whole panel of specialists by now...that's not something you should have to live with. If you have gone to the doctor before and they missed the simple solution then that is a true FML.

It's ok OP. I needed a pull-up at night until about 6th or 7th grade because my bladder couldn't control itself while I was sleeping.

I cannot help but relate you to the patients we see in the ER who have had a medical problem for days, weeks, months, or even years, who have been holding back on getting treatment all this time, only to come in and demand to be cured immediately.. BUT as a medical staff, I have to THANK YOU for going to your doctor to get treated, rather than showing up at the nearest ER for a condition that should have been treated a long time ago.
