Concert, Allergies and Health: Suckerpunched

Suckerpunched

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, the imperial fist of spring allergies knocked me flat on my ass. The time I was going to spend at the outdoor concert I paid $80 for was instead spent in my car, driving back home. FML

Same thing different taste

My body hates me

By Anonymous - 01/05/2023 12:00 - United States - Elizabeth City

Today, like many other days before, my allergies decided, "screw you, you're dealing with me year round, no allergy medicine will keep me away, and you're going to break out in sneezing fits at the worst possible moments, which includes while you're driving on the highway." Shocking that I haven't been in a wreck yet, but still… FML

Today, after saving up my money for weeks, I went to see my favorite artist in concert with my friends. Two songs in, I passed out, hit my head, and had to have someone drive me home. FML

Today, seasonal allergies are whooping my ass again. The last time this happened was… only two weeks ago. Even more unfortunately, today also marks the day I discovered that while hot tea does help soothe my poor, inflamed throat, if I drink too much of it without a break, I throw up. FML

Today, due to the high pollen count and despite taking hay fever medicine, I passed out in the bathroom from not being able to breathe. My mother accused me of doing it on purpose to make her late for work. FML

Today, I went to a concert for the first time in 5 years. I got all dressed up and even ended up hanging out with the band. The night came to a screeching halt when I got a migraine and ended up in the ER vomiting non-stop. I was in the hospital all night. FML

Choking over here

By JD. - 13/04/2021 00:30

Today, I made the horrible mistake of leaving my car windows cracked while at work. Not only is the exterior yellow due to the pollen, but so is the interior. I'm not allergic, but you can feel the pollen in the back of your throat. FML

Today, I took a big sniff of a flower in my garden. I spent the rest of the morning blowing little bugs out of my nose. FML

Today, while at a concert, I stepped into a restroom to use my nasal spray since my allergies were acting up. Apparently, someone thought that I had been snorting coke in the stall. I was escorted outside and had to wait for the cops until I could explain everything. I missed the headliner. FML

Today, I caught the sickness going around, which meant I had to cancel concert tickets, classes I was supposed to take, and turn down a once-in-a-lifetime reservation. The universe doesn't want me to experience good things. Message received. FML

Wellllllll, could have been worse. For example, you could have been watching the knicks get killed by the heat.

I agree, but it's annoying how expensive allergy meds are!!

Next time use the force to stop those allergies... I have know idea why, but when I read this I pictured an epic star wars battle with music and everything. my nerdom knows no bounds!

Not if his nose was running like a faucet, he couldn't. It's oh so sexy to be sneezed on and dripped on.

It's that time of year OP, you should have known better and brought meds with you. It's not like we sometimes are lucky enough to just skip spring and it's nasty allergies, surely this cannot have been too surprising.

You must have them really bad. You couldn't just take a Claritin and suck it up?

To heck with claritin take Alegra! It works better and faster!!

What are you, the chief advertiser for Alegra?

The people who usually say this don't have allergies, but it does sound bad.

I've tried Allegra and Claritin, and the Allegra didn't do shit for me. The Claritin works, yet one of my coworkers swears by Allegra because Claritin did nothing for them. It all depends on your system. Some people just resist certain meds.
