Today, after getting my wisdom teeth pulled, I woke up from a much needed nap realizing I should take my pain medication. My mother then told me she had thrown them out so I wouldn't get addicted and become a drug dealer. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mother-in-law flushed my pain medicine because she believes I’ve been using it too long and I’m addicted. I had surgery four days ago. FML
Today, my older, pill-addicted brother, came over to visit with me. After he left, I realized all my Vicodin was gone. I got my wisdom teeth removed two hours ago. FML
Today, I found my mom throwing my very expensive and important medication down the toilet. She thought I was doing drugs. FML
Today, I got my wisdom teeth out. Due to the drugs they gave me I felt nauseous. When I went to the bathroom as a precaution I did not throw up. Instead I passed out face first in the toilet. FML
Today, I woke up with one of the worst migraines I've had in months. My mother (who thinks I'm a hypochondriac) began to scream at me about "making up an illness". When I asked for my meds, she called me an addict, and dumped my $300 prescription down the sink. FML
Today, my mom told me she's a drug addict, sold my bed to buy meth, and then lectured me about how I should be okay with it. FML
Today, I came home from surgery to remove my tonsils. It's a much better surgery to have as a kid, because when you get older it's much more painful. I didn't know my mom liked pain killers. I do now, because I have none left and I haven't even taken any yet. FML
Today, after having surgery, I called my family to tell them I was out, safe, and on my way home. The first thing they asked was if they could "borrow" some of my pain meds. FML
Today, I got my wisdom teeth removed and took the pain medicine that the oral surgeon prescribed for me before bed. The pain actually did go away for the most part, until my stomach decided to betray me and make me throw up, forcing my jaw to open more than it could after surgery. FML
Today, I got all four of my wisdom teeth taken out. I happen to be allergic to all types of pain medication. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How can some parents be this stupid? It baffles me.

Wow that sucks... I've seen this story (or something similar) come up on this site a couple times and it always makes we wince because I remember how horrible the pain was. My recommendation is to spend the next few days almost constantly screaming, especially at night (the pain will keep you up anyways) just so your mom can see how much pain she's caused you.

Could be worse, I have allergies to some of the more common types of pain medicine... Doctor's generally struggle to deal with me so I get very little (I'm not allergic to the drug itself, I'm allergic to the stuff they use to make it which means I have a long list).

Do the same to her when she's old.

Good thing you didn't have your chest sawed open and open heart surgery. I couldn't imagine the pain involved with that and your mom confiscated your pain meds.

Sounds like the only "wisdom" removed was your mother's!!

imho, you don't need anything stonger than ibueprofin unless you get dry socket... didn't have dry socket so I can't say if it's bad or not.

Huh... I didn't even know it was routine for them to give you prescription painkillers for wisdom teeth removal. But then again, I didn't know people got put to sleep for it either. I was awake for mine and just got told to take acetaminophen or ibuprofen if I had pain, which I didn't. I only had one removed though, a year or so ago, the other three are still hanging out above the gumline minding their own business, so I'm not opting to have what for me would be extra and pointless dental surgery.

#66: I think it depends on the job the dentist does and how many teeth are taken out. I had all 4 of mine taken out because they were impacted (and there was no way I was staying awake for that lol) and he was pretty rough about it, so I had to take prescription painkillers and only drink liquids for the next week. It sucked. :( But I had a friend who had all 4 of hers taken out, and was fine the very next day. Lucky.

Haha, maybe. Mine was so large and my jaw is really small, so it did take him about forty-five minutes to get it out (and I spent the whole time back arched with my hands gripping the armrests for dear life... XD), but it didn't hurt at all, I just couldn't stand the sound the pliers made when they kept slipping off the tooth. I had been on a liquid diet for about a week beforehand, because the tooth had dropped down unexpectedly (I'm 29 and just assumed if they hadn't broken through, they never would) and pressed against my jaw, making me unable to open it enough to eat real food. :(

She probably didn't get hers pulled out. So much wisdom in that head of hers

paranoia is not your friend. I would stage an intervention about her anxiety, paranoia, and meddling. Explain that it's become a huge problem, with her acting out against doctor's orders and causing you extreme pain. Write a speech, the whole deal, and beg her to get help. Get add many family members in on it add you can.
