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, 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
Today, I had a panic attack while giving a presentation on how to breathe to avoid having panic attacks. FML

Today, after running across London to catch my train, I collapsed, panting, into a seat across from a concerned elderly woman. She leaned over to ask whether I had my inhaler and I smiled and nodded. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I'm not asthmatic, just really unfit. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That sucks. And to the people saying "lame", "YDI", etc. Asthma is serious business. People die without their inhalers. That's like worrying about not having a parachute while skydiving. the OP had every right to freak out for forgetting their inhaler.

Aw, that's one of those things that isn't funny at the time but you'll laugh about it later. I don't have asthma but panic attacks are never fun :( And to all the people who leave comments saying YDI or that you should just get over it - unless you have asthma or know someone who has and suffers from attacks I don't think you have the right to judge whether this is a true FML. Also - have you never left something important behind before? Hope you feel better now though x

#60 - You ******* idiot. Asthma does not just "go away", you moron. If you have asthma, then you have it for the rest of your life. You can't just up and decide you don't want it anymore. Now when your stupid ass dies from an asthma attack one day, don't say no one didn't warn your dumb ass. DIAF! #66 - You ******* douchebag. You're not a doctor, so you're stupid ass don't know wtf you're even talking about. I have asthma and I'm far from fat. Go kill yourself retard. # 96 - You're just a ******* dumb ass. You go kill yourself, too.

To #60, #66, and anyone else who has made reference to weight... Just because you have asthma does not mean you're overweight. How idiotic to think such a thing! It's like diabetes... people have a misconception that diabetics are overweight, but there are plenty of diabetics who aren't overweight. As for the people claiming asthma is a joke, it IS not a joke. Many people die from their attacks. While for SOME people it can be a "mind over matter" type of deal, it cannot be that way for everyone... we're all different. Let's respect that.

I stayed home sick for three days, and i forgot my inhaler at school. on the third day I could barely breathe or sleep and back was tight and I thought I'd die. I went to the clinic and found out I had a lung infection. I went to my school afterhours to get my inhaler. I could've stopped breathing if I wouldn have went to the clinic and my school. I hate asthma.
