Today, I’ve finished all my cancer treatments but my body is putting me through the wringer again. I got my first period after not having one for nearly a year, and with it has come all sorts of hormonal issues including cramping, mood swings, hot flashes, and heinous BO! It’s worse than puberty!

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I started my period, complete with cramps, diarrhoea, a headache, bloating, and aching legs. Apparently my body didn't get the message that I had a total hysterectomy a month ago, including my ovaries, tubes and cervix. FML
Today, I always say my body is my worst enemy because not only do I have irregular periods with heavy flow and bad cramps, I also get it when I currently have a fever, the highest temperature being 102.8 (checked under arms). FML
Today, I started my period. Unfortunately, my last period only ended six days ago. PCOS sucks. FML
Today, I have severe sun poisoning, a migraine, have been getting dehydrated no matter how much water I drink, and am on my period with horrible cramps. Yay summer! 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, after a trip to see my doctor, I found out that my recent mood swings and hot flashes are the result of a hormonal imbalance that mimics the effects of menopause. I'm a 17 year-old guy. FML
Today, I woke up bleeding from every orifice in my body. I've got a nose bleed from my medication, my gums bled when I brushed my teeth, I'm on my period, and I have hemorrhoids. FML
Today, after being diagnosed with breast cancer, enduring months of tortuous chemo, having painful radiation treatments and having had my tubes tied, I realized I’ve become the butt of an incredibly cruel cosmic joke. I got pregnant from the one-night stand I had to celebrate beating cancer. FML
Today, I have a UTI that spread to my kidneys, a yeast infection, and a herpes outbreak. Oh, and my period came this morning. FML
Today, my period started again. I just finished a 17-day period 3 days ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Congrats on kicking cancer’s ass. Cancer can go straight to hell. I’m sure the other stuff will work itself out.

I am just curious who those a-holes are who pressed YID. Seriously?

Not a good day for blatant anti-Semitism!

This sounds like a lot of first dates I've been on! I just thought they were excited to be with me.

OP, congratulations on beating cancer! I myself am 4 1/2 years in remission from my cancer. Chemo is very rough, I know! And you body readjusts after it’s over - Though that takes some time. You will eventually get to “normal”. Think of this as your body announcing that it’s working again. Not fun, I’m sure, but you will survive - You made it through the worst! By the way, your oncologist probably told you, you will have a few years of periodic monitoring to make sure you stay cancer free. It’s way easier to beat cancer when it’s small than later. You will make it through this!
