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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 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 was loving on a dog at work. I noticed her fur was coarse and short and I'd never felt anything like it before. I broke out in hives all over my face. This happens whenever I'm around any cats, guinea pigs, or rabbits and now some dogs apparently. I'm in school to be a vet tech. 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 visited my doctor upon coming home from University. I found out that I'm severely allergic to our pet bunny, which has resulted in a rash taking over my body. She suggested that we get rid of the bunny. I told my mom. She told me to come home less often. FML
Today, I discovered that I have developed a latex allergy. I'm a third year medical student. FML
Today, I found out I'm allergic to soil, pollen, dust, mold, the colors green, yellow, orange, black and grey, most metals, wood, carpet, drywall, most hygiene and beauty products, and plastic. Basically, I was told to avoid the entire planet and everything man-made. FML
Today, I had an allergy test. Not only was I allergic to 35 out of the 40 items, they also found out that I'm allergic to the latex gloves my doctor happened to be wearing. Now my entire back is covered in a rash that will last at least another week. FML
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
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?

Looks like it's time to rethink your career choice.

I know someone who just qualified as vet, knowing beforehand that she was allergic to cats, dogs and small animals.

thats okay. you can work around it. i've volunteered at an animal shelter and i'm allergic to almost every animal possible.

can't you go into some form of research? you know, the behind the scenes people? that way you can help the animals like you want to without having to constantly be around them. or you could become a horse doctor or something. please don't bash my comment; i'm only trying to help.

This is really only an FML if she's in college now or graduated from college and her major was related to being a vet so now she has to restart her entire college education. If she's in high school and just planned on being a vet then she can change w/o too much trouble.

You can treat some allergies with hypnosis. You could try that. There's a lot of support for it in neuropsychological studies like the one below: http://www.mayoclinicproceedings.com/content/80/4/511.full.pdf

zertec works wonders. I'm alergic to all that stuff to and I'm a groomer.

Get a second opinion. From an MD. If this first person wasn't an MD, then take it with a grain of salt.
