Anonymous·This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff·Santa Barbara, United States
Man up
Today, I woke up with horrible pain in my gut. It got worse and worse, and I started vomiting from the pain. My mom said it was the flu and that I needed to "man up." It turned out to be appendicitis, and I'm now typing this from my hospital bed. FML

I guess your mom has no common sense and what's worth could care less about your well being... The whole "man up" comment only makes her sound even less smart!! Vomiting of pain should be a HUGE sign something is wrong... hope you get better :)

Every time my belly hurts i think its appendicitis.. But i don't say anything. It'll be funny if i actually have one and die.
Hypochondriac much?
Every. Single. Time?
The pain of appendicitis 'usually' starts around the belly button and moves down the right side. It's something that's so wrong you will KNOW instinctively to seek medical attention.
Hey OP, no worries I had appendicitis in June, I couldn't sleep and woke up at five because of it, I threw up a lot too. Hope you feel better!! P.S: my scar looks fricken awesome. lol

Be lucky you're not telling us this beyond the grave with and epitaph reading: "I told you it wasn't the flu!" on your tombstone.
