Today, I got a migraine. I work in an arcade with lots of bright lights, loud noises and screaming children. I was stuck in there for 7 hours. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was forced to come in to work early in the morning. For me, that means I will have a pounding migraine, vomiting, and diarrhea for at least the next two weeks. FML
Today, I finally went to the hospital for a week-long migraine. A few Saturdays ago I went to the park to play frisbee with my friends and coworkers. While climbing a fence, I fell and hit my head twice. Turns out I have a severe concussion and a swollen brain. FML
Today, I experienced my third day in a row with visual aura causing a migraine. I informed my safety and human resources departments, who both offered help. When I went to tell my supervisor, she told me that women experience this all the time and I need to learn to deal with it. FML
Today, after pushing myself really hard all week to find a new job, I was looking forward to having a nice relaxing weekend with my family. Nope, I got a migraine and can barely function, but also can't sleep. FML
Today, I was diagnosed with migraines. Any loud sounds or bright lights make it worse. I'm the drummer for a heavy metal band, so I now have to choose between really bad migraines or a career. FML
Today, I forced myself into work with severe laryngitis. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, except I work at candy and ice cream store at a major tourist destination. For seven hours I had to communicate with unsympathetic adults and screaming, bratty kids by miming and using a dry erase board. FML
Today, I took a day off to read a book, but ended up with a headache from staring at a screen all day. FML
Today, I came home from work early due to a massive headache. A half hour later, the jackhammering started. FML
Today, I got my ass kicked by my boss at work. Why? Because I missed my shift on Saturday, because I slept through my alarms and the phone calls from my co-workers, and I woke up three hours later in a state of panic. This is all because of a medicine I'm on for migraines. FML
Today, I woke up with a skull-splitting headache. I braved the wind and freezing temperatures to get to work. Today is also the day my boss thought it would be cute to let the elementary school band play at our office. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should just ask the boss to turn off the machines and tell the children to play very quietly until you recover from your migraine. Everyone would be happy to sacrifice their fun and income to make sure that you are OK.

LOL NOPE, If some bitchy employee complained about a migraine in an arcade where he works then I'd just point to the door. U u U

So you can relate to 4 out of 28 words in this FML. It's like you and OP are twins!

^I was just making the point that I can't imagine how much it sucked for OP to both have a migraine AND be stuck working in an arcade. No need for the sargasm. And yes, I meant to spell it that way.

Sargasm.. Is that like sarcasm but said in a Sargent voice?

Might I suggest some sort of pain killer? Of course, that may not help with the flashing lights. But it might at least make it more bearable.

Maybe you should have GONE to primary school and learned proper grammar.

There was nothing about the OP's comment that could have lead you to assume that they have not/will not/or are not going to college. Maybe ya should have went to a deductive reasoning class.

Seven hours? Thats nothing. Suck it up. I can hold my breath for seven hours.

You should be dead long before those 7 hours. No oxygen to the brain and vital organs, you die. I call bullshit.

A migraine is a common type of headache that may occur with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light. Holding your breath does not compare to a migraine. *sigh, I remember when trolls were just funny and easy to mess with. Now they're morons...

He was making a sarcastic joke, genius.

#64 first of all there needs to be a brain for the oxygen to get to.
