Today, I was forced to come in to work early in the morning. For me, that means I will have a pounding migraine, vomiting, and diarrhea for at least the next two weeks. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I joked with my boss about calling in sick to work tomorrow with food poisoning to avoid taking the Sunday shift. Tonight, I'm sitting on the toilet bowl in agonizing pain with combination diarrhea and vomiting. My shift starts in 3 hours. FML
Today, I discovered what it feels like to be extremely constipated while having a vomit-inducing migraine. FML
Today, my boss was skeptical when I told her I had a terrible migraine and needed to go home for the day early. I removed all her doubts by puking over her. FML
Today, after pushing myself really hard all week to find a new job, I was looking forward to having a nice relaxing weekend with my family. Nope, I got a migraine and can barely function, but also can't sleep. FML
Today, I’m currently battling a cold that caused me to call into work yesterday and, as of this morning, I’ve also started my period and have the most painful cramps ever. Good thing I have the day off from work. FML
Today, I got a migraine. I work in an arcade with lots of bright lights, loud noises and screaming children. I was stuck in there for 7 hours. FML
Today, I learned that pregnancy makes me more prone to migraines, but the only pain killer I can take makes me vomit. So I have to choose between being in pain and vomiting for hours on end. FML
Today, I was tired from an all-nighter I'd pulled because I thought I had the next four days off work. I got called in, and went because I have bills to pay. However, the amount of energy drinks I drank to stay on top of my job duties gave me such bad diarrhea, I had to go home. FML
Today, after two weeks of migraines, my doctor informed me that bowel movements are one my triggers. This means every time I shit, I will have a headache. FML
Today, I returned to work after celebrating the New Year in Mexico. I wasn't feeling well, but didn't want to call in sick after already taking a vacation. Now I'm at work with diarrhea, and trotting to the bathroom every 30 minutes. My commute home usually takes around an hour. FML

OP, I am confused about the nature of an ailment or condition that causes those responses to having to come to work early in the morning. Lacking such explanatory information it makes your story sound overstated. A lot of us aren't exactly morning people, but nearly all of us manage to get to work by the required time.

Submit a note from your doctor that you cannot do that again under any circumstances because it triggers those reactions, and that they could keep you from returning to work.

I'm really confused. How on earth does getting up early make you nauseous and give you the hershey squirts for two whole weeks?? You're either a complete anomaly, a total drama queen, or this is total bs.

A lot of ableism in these comments. Disappointing.

I see we found the victim here lol. this person did not give any context as to why so all we can assume is they hate getting up in the morning. if there was context with say a medical condition it would make more sense. without that this person just sounds like a whiny bitch

I’ve heard of a lot of disabilities that cause X if you do Y, but this one’s a new one on me. Not saying it’s fake, but definitely saying it’s unusual.

Forced?

there's absolutely no physical reasons that one morning waking up early will lead to symptoms that last that long. sounds psychosomatic and ur causing your own strife

Migraines of that kind of intensity and duration (and the migraine probably causes the gastro symptoms) can and should be medicated. I've actually been on a medication to prevent migraines since before they invented migraine-specific medication - it's a blood pressure med, but it keeps me from getting them, when I used to have four to six a week. Definitely try to see a neurologist if you can afford it.
