Today, I learned that because of my new medication, I can either avoid getting malaria, or have a male yeast infection. I'm stuck in Africa for the next two months, and have to sit down to pee because I don't want to irritate my penis by touching it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to a hospital in Uganda, where I'm working with an NGO for the summer. I had a high fever and other symptoms of malaria. They gave me a test, and I don't have malaria. I'm now however sick from the water they gave me to wash down a medication to reduce fever. FML
Today, I've been having persistent fungal infections and was getting treated by a male gynecologist. I had to go in to give vaginal swab tests. I washed and cleaned before I left, but when I got on the doctor's table I already had so much discharge. The doctor asked, "Is it the medicine?" I had to say no. FML
Today, I'm recovering from a urinary tract infection. The infection made me have to pee constantly. Now the antibiotics I'm taking for it are giving me the shits instead. FML
Today, I found out I have a yeast infection, a bladder infection, and a urinary tract infection all at the same time. Oh, and I also have the flu. FML
Today, I learned I don't have a yeast infection. I have herpes. FML
Today, after coming back from a trip to Africa where I got malaria, I went to the hospital for some blood tests. The doctor said, "Good news! You never had malaria! But they put you through a lot of dangerous treatments and now your liver has an anomaly." FML
Today, I finally went to the doctor for a condition I've had all my life. Turns out it was easily cured with a simple pill. I peed in my pants everyday for 27 years for nothing. FML
Today, I'm at home, sick with walking pneumonia and a raging UTI. Every time I cough, I piss myself. I'm now having to lie on a bath towel and garbage bags until the meds kick in. FML
Today, I have a UTI that spread to my kidneys, a yeast infection, and a herpes outbreak. Oh, and my period came this morning. FML
Today, I was diagnosed with a kidney infection; the symptoms include nausea and having to pee every five minutes. I had to walk six miles in the pouring rain to pick up the medication, peed in the woods twice, got honked at while throwing up on the road, and my boyfriend told me not to complain. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I think what he's trying to say is that the medication is to ward off malaria, but has the side effect of potential male yeast infection. A potential which has apparently been reached. FYL

It should have been worded: "I can avoid having a male yeast infection, or I can prevent getting malaria"

It could be worse, your anti-malaria could be sickle cell anemia.

you can't get infected with sickle cell anaemia. it's hereditary.

Not really, #52, considering AIDS is incurable and degenerative, whereas Malaria is completely curable with access to the correct facilities and/or drugs.

I'm pretty sure what #52 meant by the =/= sign was that malaria is "not equal to" AIDS

Yeah that sucks... but I've had a yeast infection, it's not that bad.

Try some boric acid. That should be avialable. Just rub the powder on the infected part of your penis about 3x's a day for 14 days. DO NOT EAT.

Those pills don't even work. I got malaria even though I used them. And I can tell you, it sucked.

I'm originally from Ghana, and my Dad told me he survived malaria twice. I guess he really didn't want that yeast infection.

This does not apply to all antimalarials. As far as I know, the risk for suicide is a side effect of Lariam, not other therapies such as antibiotics, quinine or Malarone.
