Today, I went to get an HPV vaccine after being convinced to by my mom. I stayed in the waiting room afterwards, because the vaccine has the possible side-effect of causing fainting. I didn't faint; instead, I spent the next 15 minutes giggling uncontrollably like a psycho. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my needle-phobic mother took me to get a shot. She fainted. FML
Today, I was at the doctor and I had to get a fingerstick in the lab to get blood drawn. There was a 6 year-old boy waiting to go next. He was terrified. His mother told him to, "Watch this brave girl go first." I panicked and began to hyperventilate. The kid fainted. FML
Today, I went into an exam room to do a check-up on one of my patients. I told the little girl's mother that she needed her flu shots. When the girl heard this, she took an apple out of her pocket and threw it at me. FML
Today, I tried donating blood for the first time because my company was hosting a blood drive. Right after telling everyone I wasn't afraid of needles, I fainted before they could even use one. I woke up surrounded by phlebotomists offering me juice while my coworkers whooped like I'd just scored a goal. FML
Today, I had to get bloodwork done. I'm deathly afraid of needles. The whole lobby heard me scream as soon as the nurse said 'hello'. FML
Today, I found out that I can’t get my COVID vaccine due to my chance of going into anaphylactic shock. FML
Today, I went to get the vaccination my college requires of all students. The nurse looked at my charts and told me there was good and bad news. The good news was that I didn't need the shot. The bad news was I needed four others. Now, both of my arms are swollen enough to make Popeye proud. FML
Today, while trying to give an immunization to a "special" 13-year-old, I got spit on, kicked, almost bitten, and had a chair thrown at me. When it was all over, I flinched when the patient tried to hug me. Her mom called me a "b*tch" and I later found out she wasn't a "special" child. FML
Today, I went to the doctor for a routine check-up. When the nurse took my blood pressure, I passed out, and fell off the table. FML
Today, I had to go to the hospital. While I was there, my mom started hitting on a doctor. Later I saw them making out in the room next to me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It sounds like the best side-effect ever!
Ameel_fml 19
That sounds like an awesome side-effect tbh. We were told that diarrhea was one of the side-effects. Guess who was lucky enough to get that one? :(

Maybe I need one I need that side effect I'm stopped up something fierce

This made me uncontrollably giggle like a psycho.

Normally when I get vaccines my arm is dead after; I'd much rather have a fifteen minute giggle fit.

I can't help but wonder though, why a vaccine would affect someone like that.
ise3 10
I can't help but to wonder. Why would you need convincing to get a vaccine? HPV gives you cancer doesn't it? Scary scary.
mfmylifesrsly 30
@28 because it is rumored to cause health problems is why.
cmayer 20
I know someone who was put into the hospital for at least a week bc of the HPV vaccine. For some people the risk of contracting HPV and the cancer it can cause is very low and it's not worth the possible side effects of the vaccine.
nortwdschick 25
Agree. Plus the hpv vaccine only protects against a few strains, when in reality there's hundreds (or thousands) of different strains of hpv.
kernelkat 16
But it protects against the four most common strands.

'Rumoured to cause health problems'?? Facts, not rumours, are what's important. And that's complete bullshit.
Dthnte 15
Also, not all of the strains are cancer causing.
zeep92 18
It's so easy to use facts to help your case when they support what you want. It protects you against (some but not all) cervical cancers, anal cancers, vaginal cancers, vulvar cancers, a variety of oral cancers and genital warts as well. Side effects suck, yes. Myself? I got rash on my arms. But I ended up getting all three anyway. With everything having the potential to give you cancer these days, I wasn't willing to take that risk.

I mean the cdc says its safe. Although they do say that it's not as cost effective for men and women over the age of 26. (Just did some research)

HPV shots are the worst. -.-
BrookRae 19
So getting HPV is nothing? Okay.
TheMathMajor 26
I think she just means compared to other vaccines. I had the three series shots too and they definitely hurt more than any other vaccine I've gotten. (Not saying at all that I wouldn't get it just because of that, the benefits far outweigh the risks).
truth_teller23 11
I fainted on the second shot. I was wearing a skirt, so when the doctor lifted up my legs to regulate blood flow back to my brain, everyone got to see. Now the guy who administers shots is afraid of me.
AngrySailor 17
Vaccine!? Now the government can read your thoughts and track your every move!

botanistjessica 24
I still can't figure out what the **** "Oretiss'm" is supposed to be.

well if I'm the one who has to guess, I think he means aspergers syndrome and autism. the rest is just chicken shit
