Today, a friend who visited me a week ago with "allergy rashes" told me that it's actually scabies, and she hopes I didn't catch it from her. It takes 2-6 weeks for the symptoms to show and I can't use the medication for it anyway because I'm pregnant. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was woken up at 2 in the morning by my wife frantically saying something about her having scabies, and that I had to take her to the ER. It turned out to be eczema. FML
Today, even though I'm the most neat freak germophobe there is, I was diagnosed with scabies. FML
Today, I found out I'm allergic to the pills my doctor prescribed for coughing, which I really need because I ripped a muscle in my stomach. Now my whole upper body is covered in a terrible itchy rash. I also found out it will last for at least another week. FML
Today, I learned that the blisters that popped up this morning on my hands and feet are a result of a virus that takes two weeks to fully heal. After I told my roommates to be careful, one of them decided that NOW was a good time to tell us she had it last week. FML
Today, I found out I have herpes. I'm 9 months pregnant and have only been with my husband. It just so happens that our roommate just got over herpes. I thought they were just spending time together, bonding. FML
Today, I had an allergy test. Not only was I allergic to 35 out of the 40 items, they also found out that I'm allergic to the latex gloves my doctor happened to be wearing. Now my entire back is covered in a rash that will last at least another week. FML
Today, after 4 days of using anti-itch cream for what pharmacists and nurses have called “an allergic reaction”, I was diagnosed with shingles. FML
Today, I finally got prescribed something for my skin problems. The good news: It works really well. The bad news: When the doctor said one of the potential side effects was a "horrible rash," she really meant it when she said, "horrible." I swear to God, I was about to rip my chest open, due to it itching so hard. FML
Today, my sister found out she contracted ringworm and scabies from her best friend's rescued kittens. The entire family now has to be treated to prevent it from spreading. There are 7 people in our house and none of us have health insurance. FML
Today, my friend let me borrow a pair of jeans. I found out I'm allergic to her laundry detergent when I broke out in a rash everywhere that the jeans touched. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's very inconsiderate of your friend to do knowing you're pregnant. Hope you didnt catch anything.

Some friend of yours! She didn't take into consideration of your health or your unborn baby's.

Maybe she actually didn't know what was happening to her. In fact I think it shows a lot of maturity that she was able to tell her friend about her sickness.

Perhaps the friend thought it was an allergy rash at the time and later found out it was scabies. Wash everything you can really well. If you do get scabies see your doctor right away. There may be things you can use safely to help it.

scabies can be treated in pregnant women and infants with sulfur treatment.

Today a week ago is really strange wording lol

That's because all the FML's are required to start with "Today," and end in "FML". Even if they didn't happen today. :D

That's a very selfish thing for your friend to do, especially you being pregnant. Hope you're ok OP.

Just like any disease or std, if she knew about it, you can sue her!! Sue the **** out of her!!!

That's not really how the legal system works. I think you can only sue if someone knowingly exposes you to something like HIV. I mean, of course you can sue for whatever you want, but you probably won't win and will be wasting time and legal fees.

That's very inconsiderate of your friend. I hope you had a good talk with her about it.

Hot wash and disinfect everything. If she used a pillow or flannel or anything else that touched her face throw it out. My son caught these at daycare but we didn't get it as I cleaned all his stuff
