Today, while working at a children's day camp, one of the kids who is allergic to peanuts went into anaphylactic shock. I ran and grabbed the boy's Epipen. I was holding it backwards so the injection went into my hand, causing me to pass out, and both of us to be rushed to hospital. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had an asthma attack. I grabbed my inhaler and found peanut butter on it. I'm extremely allergic to peanuts. FML
Today, one of the kids I was babysitting had a severe peanut allergy, and he looked me dead in the eye as he ate a peanut bar before I could stop him. His sister swore up and down that I made him eat it. Guess who the parents believed, even after I rushed him to the hospital. FML
Today, I went to the gym to run. I ended up at the hospital because i went into anaphylactic shock. Apparently I'm allergic to exercise now. FML
Today, my mom baked a cake for the whole family. One spent EpiPen later, I found out there were nuts in it, which I'm severely allergic to. My mom's defense was that she thought I'd have "gotten over" my allergy by now. FML
Today, I got in trouble with my boss for not showing up to work yesterday. It seems going into anaphylactic shock isn't a valid excuse. FML
Today, I finally went to have blood taken for an allergy test I really need. Afterwards, I had an allergic reaction to the bandaid they used on my arm. FML
Today, I was eating a mystery flavored candy and I had an allergic reaction. Not only did I have to go to the hospital because my throat swelled up, but I still don't know what I'm allergic to. FML
Today, I was putting a wristband on a little boy's wrist so he could swim in the waterpark. Just before I finished, he coughed all over my hands and arms. I finished and looked up at the boy just in time for us to make eye contact and for him to cough directly into my face. FML
Today, I was at the doctor and I had to get a fingerstick in the lab to get blood drawn. There was a 6 year-old boy waiting to go next. He was terrified. His mother told him to, "Watch this brave girl go first." I panicked and began to hyperventilate. The kid fainted. FML
Today, I found out that I can’t get my COVID vaccine due to my chance of going into anaphylactic shock. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Not panicking is a good thing. Also, paying attention during the first aid training. And it's "epi pen", for the record.

FYL? How about the kid's who was dying because you didn't know how to use the right side of a pen? My brother's deathly allergic to peanuts too and he's had several close calls, so I can empathize with the kid, but seriously, this is an F HIS L, stop feeling sorry for yourself

At least you tried. #4- Unless you have been around highly allergic people before you're not likely to know precisely how to administer the medication.

I wasn't aware that you could pass out from too much epinephrine (aka adrenaline). Interesting...

I'm completely allergy free, have no friends who're allergic enough to own an epi pen, but even I know that adrenaline can kill you if it's overdosed. It causes your heart to speed up. What do you think happens when you're pulse is going crazy? Yeah, you pass out. Or die.

Well, at least you kept the kid company #6, I believe too much adrenaline is similar to being bitten by a black widow. I'm not too sure though
