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, 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?

ummmm, allergy shots?? my sister has the same allergies but she goes to the allergist for desensitization treatments. I would assume that would be the purpose in going to the allergist.

Yeah, another vet school student here, and most vets are not equine practitioners. Also, we learn to work on all animals, so even if I were interested in bovine medicine, I would still end up doing dissections, clinical rotations, and other things with dogs and cats. OP, I also have fur and hay allergies. While my allergies may be less severe than yours, the main thing to worry about vet school is A) getting in and B) surviving.

Oh man that sucks, what about allergy shots, you can still be a vet? (Hopefully!) I went to my allergist yesterday and it's been ten years since I was there. He found out that on top of still being deathly allergic to peanuts, I'm now allergic to cats and dogs, tree pollen and grass pollen, and I have asthma. I have to take an inhaler twice a day and get an allergy shot once-twice a week(though it gradually becomes once a month) for the next 3-5 years. Fun times?

That really sucks but you can always take some allergy medication or something. You could even go as far as getting allergy shots if you really want to be a vet. :)

I'm also a vet student... Worry about getting into vet school before you start worrying about your allergies... And then maybe worry about surviving.

dis is a waste. i'm highly allergic to ALL animals with fur and feathers. i'm a vet tech and going to school to become a vet. i've been working in a vet office for 3yrs now i also have 4 cats, 5 parakeets, n 4 finches in my house, all of which i'm allergic to. i also have asthma that can be triggered by my allergies and i have had to go to the ER due to asthma attacks caused by my allergies. some days im fine and some days i can barely breathe, have puffy eyes, and nonstop sneezing. i've been injured a couple times from scratches to bites to a concussion and as crazy as i may be i still do it because it's what i love and want to do. i take meds for my asthma and allergies as well as frequent allergy shots. so suck it up.
