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
Been there. First my dad complained about having to pick me up from school and then my doctor swore I didn't have appendicitis. My ruptured appendix begged to differ :) on the bright side you can only get it once! Get well soon, OP!
I had an appendicitis 2 days after thanksgiving. I went early before it could be worst. I saw a patient with a much serious appendicitis. Hope you lucks and make a good recovering
The first clue that it's not "the flu": vomitting and abdominal pain. Influenza aka "the flu" is a respiratory illness. Tell your half-retarded mom to read a book.
Actually, you can get a stomach flu, it involves lots vomiting and often diarrhea, it usually last about 24 hours or so. I've had it a couple times, it's not fun. :/ It's also a great way to get dehydrated if you're not careful.
I had to be rushed to the hospital, my older brother thought I was faking so I wouldn't have to go to school. I couldn't walk right because of the excruciating pain, he even threw a shoe at me and told me to stop pretending.
It's important to know which side and which part of the stomach is hurting. So look up symptoms on Internet to guide you to different cases but I'm glad you got to the emergency room in time. Especially since its deadly..

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.
