Today, I woke up with horrible pain in my gut. It got worse and worse, and I started vomiting from the pain. My mom said it was the flu and that I needed to "man up." It turned out to be appendicitis, and I'm now typing this from my hospital bed. FML
Today, I crawled into my mom's room to tell her my stomach was in massive pain. She ended up throwing me out of the room while spraying me with Lysol. My appendix was about to burst and I needed surgery. FML
Today, our dog became ill. My mom wasted no time attending her every needs and became very distressed. When I had appendicitis a few months ago, my mom told me to “sleep it off” and a friend had to take me to the hospital. She only called once to bitch at me for “doing this on purpose to make her feel bad.” FML
Today, what started with me forcing a shit a little too hard ended up with me being rushed to the hospital with appendicitis. FML
Today, my son was up at 3:00 am crying due to excruciatingly severe pain in his groin. I took him to the ER. After nine hours consisting of two different hospitals, an ambulance ride, a CAT scan, an ultrasound, and possible appendicitis, the surgeon finally said he was just constipated. FML
Today, I had food poisoning and woke up early in the morning to vomit. My mom emailed all of my teachers saying that I would be late to school because of "morning sickness". Thanks mom. FML
Today, after months of incredibly painful stomach cramps, I convinced my mom that I needed to see a doctor. Not even 2 minutes into the exam, the doctor tells me that I'm heavily constipated and advised some "prune juice" to help "clear all that shit out". My mom won't stop laughing at me. FML
Today, my mom told me how lucky I was to inherit her "asymptomatic" periods. It's true, I don't get cramps, bloating or mood swings with my periods. Nope, just excruciatingly painful diarrhea. Thanks, mom. FML
Today, I wasn't feeling too well and consequently threw up. In an effort to get some sympathy, I told my mom about what happened. Rather than trying to make me feel better, she yelled at me because I threw up in the bathroom sink "when the damn toilet is two feet away." Thanks mom. FML
Today, I went to the doctor for horrible stomach pains. He said I had an abnormal amount of stool in me, and that I'd need to flush it out. I called my mom and told her what happened, to which she responded, "I always knew you were full of shit, I didn't need a doctor to tell me that." FML

You carried Frodo up Mount Doom, I think you’re very capable of getting yourself to the ER..

when I was 8 I went through a period where I'd wet the bed EVERY single night. my dad beat my ass until I had bruises and refused to believe anything was wrong with me. 2 weeks later he finally took me to the ER and found out I had type 1 diabetes. my blood sugar was over 850. (90-175 is normal) no wonder I was pissing the bed huh?!!

In hindsight once the appendicitis was diagnosed it’s obvious the Mom was very wrong. And it’s always better to be safe than sorry.... But appendicitis can be difficult for a layman to detect in its early stages. When I was in college my roommate had been complaining of stomach cramps that day and had gone to the college infirmary twice. The second time he was told that if it got worse to go to the hospital. It was Friday night. I had a car and drove him to the local hospital, there he was told to go to the nearest larger town hospital 20 plus miles away because all their staff was at the local football game! I then drove him to that Hospital. They took him right in and I was told that he got there just in time before it might have burst. I waited around several hours until his Dad showed up....

I fell in my driveway landing on my arm. my parents didn't think anything was wrong and that I was making up the pain. I had a broken arm for 2 days before they took me to the Drs.
