Today, I fractured two ribs from coughing. My doctor told me to stop coughing, or I would fracture them more. I have bronchitis. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I coughed so hard that I fractured two ribs. FML
Today, I cracked a rib coughing. FML
Today, I coughed so hard that I tore an intercostal muscle in my ribs. Now I can't cover my cough, as I have to cross my arms against my ribcage to stop the pain. FML, FML, F Me All Day Long (sung to the tune of Jingle Bells). FML
Today, I had a violent coughing fit while at the store, which caused a lady to think I was choking, grab me from behind and start doing the Heimlich maneuver incorrectly. She broke two of my ribs. FML
Today, I've had a cold for over a week, and I've been coughing so hard, I bruised my ribs. I'm also 8 months pregnant. Guess where my son likes to kick me. FML
Today, at work, I had an accident and cracked a rib. I got taken to hospital where I got checked over. The doctor said it was a good job I hadn't got a chest infection nor a cold. Funny you should say that doc, I have both. She replied, "Well, that's bad…" FML
Today, I have three cracked ribs. I have also, for the first time in my life, developed a case of the hiccups that simply will NOT go away. It's been hours. FML
Today, I have bronchitis. A few days ago, my doc prescribed antibiotics, which are helping, but also cause a really nasty upset stomach. I tell ya, violent coughing fits and severe diarrhea do NOT go well together. FML
Today, I woke up with really sore abs; not from working out at the gym, but because I've been coughing for 3 days straight and nothing is helping. Now every time I cough, it physically hurts. FML
Today, I tripped and fell, damaging my sternum and making it incredibly painful to breathe in or out too much. About ten minutes later, I got the hiccups. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Here's what you do: look your "doctor" straight in the eye and say "OK, you got anything to clear up my bronchitis?"

Haha, I love the FML comments section, so behind on mainstream culture that we still use phrases like, "ain't nobody got time fo dat!" Oh course I'm a total hypocrite, I still have a t-shirt that says that exact phrase.

When I had bronchitis, I went and played a full outdoor soccer game with no subs. I coughed like mad, but the other team kept a wide berth. I then got laryngitis. But it was fun at least! My ribs hurt like hell but you can't not cough.

Been there, it really sucks. Every time I get a bad cold, I start coughing. And every time I cough for a long time, I fracture my ribs. They never start heal until my cold is over. Fortunately, my doctor always prescribes me with strong pain killers, which really helps.
