Today, I was at the doctor's getting a check up. He asked me if I was allergic to anything, to which I blurted out, "Cats." He gave me a weird look and said, "Don't worry, I won't give you cats." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went to the doctor for allergy testing. Apparently, one of my worst allergies is cats. I'm a "crazy cat lady" who loves anything cat-related and has 3 cats. Allergy shots, here I come. FML
Today, I went to meet my boyfriend's parents for the first time. While I was there, I started to get really itchy. Turns out they have 5 cats. Guess what I'm allergic to? FML
Today, I found out my cat is allergic to ME. No kidding. FML
Today, I went to the allergist. I found out that I am allergic to dogs, cats, wool, fleece, and pet dander. I'm currently planning to go to school to become a veterinarian. FML
Today, I went to the doctor to find out why I've been feeling so sick the past several weeks. Turns out, I'm severely allergic to the cat of my girlfriend of two years. I told her "It's me or the cat." She chose the cat. FML
Today, after 3 years of studying to be a veterinarian, I found out I may not be able to continue. It's not because I'm failing my classes, but because my body has developed an allergy to cats. FML
Today, I brought my boyfriend to my house for the first time. He freaked out when he saw my cat, and had to leave because he's allergic. I've posted many pictures of my cat in Instagram, but he didn't say anything about his allergy because he thought it was just a random cat. FML
Today, after being diagnosed with cat allergies, I explained to my cat-loving boyfriend that the doctor strongly recommended not allowing the cat in the bedroom. At 1:30 a.m. my boyfriend got out of the bed to go sleep in the spare room because, "the cat is sad." FML
Today, I took my cat to the vet for a routine check-up. The vet asked if my cat was stressed at all, so I confidently replied, "No, he's a pretty chill little dude." That's when my cat decided to hiss and spit his way to the top of the shelves on the other side of the examination room. He's not as chill as I thought. FML
Today, I bought a kitten. I've wanted a cat for years and decided to finally buy one now that I have my own apartment. It turns out I'm allergic to cats. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your doctor never gives cats? I would switch doctors. I have a whole litter after my last check up! :D

Lol his fault for not being specific. I would've said the same thing if I were allergic, too.

some vaccines are animal based so being a doctor he shouldn't be so sarcastic. All allergies are important to know.

haha maybe he secretly wants to give you cars
BVBarmy_girl 22
If that is so, I want to know this doctor! If he wants to give me cars that'd be alright!

That would be Oprah, and she doesn't have her medical degree yet.

I like that doctors humor..

That is just a weird response from a doctor... It's an allergy... Unless you were at an OB/GYN, but still...

They usually ask any medications or medical supplies. If he didnt specify, you were in the right. I always say blueberries, because they never specify :) FYL for having a dumbass doctor.

I always ask, "Are you allergic to any medications?" My favourite answer is "Penicillin", because then I get to ask what their allergic reaction is. Nine times out of then they say something like, "Oh I've never taken it, but I was told as a kid that I was allergic." I ******* hate that.

Or they'll say they know they're allergic because it gave them a stomach ache. If it's a known side effect of the medication, it's not an allergic reaction *facepalm*

Well, with all due respect Doc, they may have been given it as a kid and not remembered. My daughter has a penicillin allergy (amoxocillin) and has to wear a medic alert bracelet. She certainly doesn't remember taking medication at 3yrs which caused her to swell up like the dough boy. She probably would have answered the same way (although, usually, she repeats what's on the bracelet).

That may be true, Red. But I can't tell you how many people have actually told me that they've never taken it, but their mother is allergic or something like that. Trust me, I hear it regularly.

Quick question, Doc - can a person be allergic to absolutely anything? I find it hard to wrap my head around some people's claims.

I always say I'm allergic to clay if someone asks if I have any allergies. I wrote it down when I registered at a new doctors and told my surgeon before an operation cause he asked. You gave a sensible answer OP, he should've been more specific if he didn't want to know that! At least you're allergic to something common, being allergic to clay always causes the doctor or nurse to laugh and tell me "that's a new one!".

Allergic to clay as in the store-bought stuff or rock clay you find outside? Curious because its so weird to me lol.
stardustjunkie 12
Allergic to the natural stuff, that is found in the ground. It's very odd!

I'm allergic to cats too, so I probably would have said the same thing.
