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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Get allergy shots. After a few years, your allergies will disappear.

I received allergy desensitisation injections for years. It helped slightly, but I still can't walk out on a spring day without sneezing everywhere and feeling like I want to die, and that's with a whole bunch of medications as well! They work for most people, but for some their allergies are just too nasty :(

Suck it up and follow your dreams. Allergies that are not severe can be taken care of.

Don't give up your dream. You can become an Aquavet ... I used to have a lot of different fishes, aquavet are very very hard to find ... especially when my fish are ill, hatch, infected and so on.

Don't worry too much, the allergist is often full of shit. I got tested, and was told that I was allergic to tomatoes, lettuce, eggplant, and pretty much most of the fruits and vegetable family. I've been a vegetarian for over 3 years, and have never experienced a reaction to any of these, and so I conclude that often they make random shit up!

I work at a veterinary clinic, and most of us do have allergies to pets. Get allergy shots now- it does work/help. Dont let it stop you.
