Today, I learned that I have carpal tunnel syndrome. I got it from playing too much World of Warcraft. I got a disease in real life by living in a virtual world. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I had to buy a wrist splint for my carpal tunnel syndrome. Not because I'm a computer programmer or some hot shot web designer but because I spend ALL of my time playing Solitaire on my laptop. FML
Today, after years of being an avid knitter and typing for a living, I got carpal tunnel syndrome… from my wrists flopping around too much while I'm driving. I live half an hour away from the nearest city. FML
Today, I realized that every time I play video games, my wrist and elbows always end up hurting so badly from holding my controller/handheld games. I always have to apply bengay and wear braces. Arthritis is creeping up on me harshly, and I’m still young so this sucks. FML
Today, I got bored and decided to try World Of Warcraft. FML
Today, I had to buy a wrist brace for a repetitive strain injury. I got the injury because I was knitting too much. I'm 22. FML
Today, my social anxiety got so bad that I nearly had a panic attack when too many people joined my World of Warcraft party. FML
Today, I found out that the lump in my wrist that keeps getting inflamed and sore is caused by sketching and using my laptop too much. Good thing I'm in my fourth year of studying to become a designer. FML
Today, I found out that the stiffness I've been feeling in my hand is arthritis and that it's only going to get worse. Not only do I type for my job, I'm also 22. FML
Today, I woke up in the hospital. I had apparently overworked my heart so much that I fainted. What caused it? I was playing a racing game on my Wii and freaked out when I won first place. FML
Today, I woke up from surgery to find that the chronic warts on my right hand hadn't been removed. The doctor informed me that they'd grown into my radial nerve, so impossible to remove without permanent paralysis. My immune system sucks, so this is just in my hand forever. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Whoever says I play guitar hero or CoD4 is almost a much a loser as the OP. Seriously guys Guitar hero that's using repetitive motions constantly. And then the idiots who say that Wow is so gay and ally that crap. Really??? It's the OPs fault since he played to much. WoW is a totally decent game and I bet most haven't even tried it. ( reminder of a 4yearold not wanting to try new foods cause it looks bad??) btw for the other people who say you need to get out more- guys... Your posting this on FML... We all should be out right now in that case. I almost want to call BS on this fml since alot of wow fmls very similar to this happen and not 'cause it's true... But cmon people I'm not favoritinf wow just saying you guys need to stop hating... PSt me on realm azshara- Lifetaker. It's not the video/computer game it's the excessive user

d00d, you're an "uber n00bl3t." Don't you know, hardcore gaming takes wrist supports? As well as of course, getting up and sitting down, and proper posture in the chair. YDI for not acting pro. YDIx2 for lookign for sympathy. YDIx3, for being an uber n00b. TY, gg.

I'm sure WoW is a great game, but I can't imagine paying $15 a month to play it.

To all the losers tell him to grow up/get a life/etc. you guys can choke on a bag of hell. Immature asswipes. Chances are he interacts and talks with more people than you all do every day. I no longer play WoW, but I formed some good friendships through that game. Yeah, he must have played a bit much but its no reason to make him feel like a piece of dirt. And LOL to the person who told him to go out to a club/bar... You'll surely meet some quality people there.
