Today, my 18th birthday, I woke up vomiting with a temperature of 104 degrees. After I settled back in bed with some water, my mom said, "This is how you're supposed to feel on your 21st birthday, not your 18th." FML

If you lived in Australia it's perfectly appropriate. I was wrecked the morning of my 18th from drinking and shenanigans the night before.

Funny, I didn't realize hospital grade fevers were meant to be a 21st birthday tradition. Damn it, I missed out!

Perhaps this is your European side?
Sorry, OP, I hope you're feeling better now and this is no actual "today" fml

All jokes aside, I'm pretty sure if you have a temperature of 104, you need to go to the hospital.

definitely should. anything above 39.5 c (103 f) is quite serious

Just for future reference water makes you vomit more. You have to wait a few hours before you eat or drink anything after vomiting.

I haven't heard of this before, but I would try drinking Gatorade or Pedialyte if possible, those are better options than water when vomiting & might stay down a little better. Feel better OP!

I don't really understand why this is considered an FML

Fever on birthday. What's not an FML about it?

I think the lack of maternal sympathy he/she is getting is part of the F my L equation.

Come to Europe. We have a lower drinking age, you can feel 21 when you are 18.
