Today, after $87, waiting five months and making sure everything was perfect, I was ready to go see my favorite comedian live. I got the flu. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after waiting two months to attend a very important course, I finally got to go. This is the same day I caught a horrible cold, got Auntie Flow’s monthly visit, my IBS flared up, and my acid reflux as well. So here I go, crampy, constipated, congested, and gassy. FML
Today, after a week of staying in at night and fighting off a persistent cold, I was finally feeling well again, so I decided to go to my boyfriend's work BBQ. I got food poisoning. FML
Today, I came back home from a 3-month trip to see my boyfriend and his family. Leaving them was obviously very emotional, and to top it off as soon as I got home, I realized I'd left my antidepressants behind, and I now have the flu as well. FML
Today, I had to cancel plans to go to the movies with the guy I've had a crush on for months due to a sudden case of the flu. This was already rescheduled from yesterday, when I had to cancel due to bad weather (after he had already left home). He thinks that I'm just making excuses not to see him. FML
Today, I have to reschedule the vacation I had planned for eight months because I have the flu, and feel too sick to go and enjoy myself at a waterpark. This vacation is the only thing that's kept me sane these last two months. FML
Today, I was supposed to work with this girl I really like, but I had the flu really bad. I really really wanted to see her so I forced myself out of bed and went to work feeling terrible but determined to see her face. When I got to work I asked where she was. She had called in sick with the flu. FML
Today, after weeks of looking forward to my birthday trip to the beach, I've come down with a serious case of the flu. My family is still going without me, but at least now they don't have to pay someone to watch the dog. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, I went to a concert for the first time in 5 years. I got all dressed up and even ended up hanging out with the band. The night came to a screeching halt when I got a migraine and ended up in the ER vomiting non-stop. I was in the hospital all night. FML
Today, it was the day of the doctor's appointment that I've been waiting for for eight months. I woke up with a fever and had to reschedule. The next appointment is next year. Guess I have to put up with my daily migraines until 2021. FML
Today, after saving up my money for weeks, I went to see my favorite artist in concert with my friends. Two songs in, I passed out, hit my head, and had to have someone drive me home. FML

Gotta tell us who the comedian is, OP.

Just go, you whiner

And give possibly hundreds of people the flu, because that's smart. People who go to events knowing they are ill are the people who start pandemics.

The world could use a purge.

So could your personality.

Is this some kind of sick joke!?

No.

Pretty much the same happend to me. Favourite comedian (who's from Ireland; I'm Austrian) came to town, tickets weren't cheap, I was excited for months. Got a fever and the worst headache only one day before his show so I popped a handful of pain killers, sucked it up, went anyway and had the time of my life.

The handful of painkillers probably helped the mood in more ways than one ;)

Should have been more hygienic

Earlier this year my favourite band was in town and I was super sick, fever and everything, but I would have hated myself forever if I didn't go. Had the best time of my life and was sick for two more weeks after that, but it was so ******* worth it. I suggest you go, if you can.

I know the flu sucks, but if going was that important to you, it seems as though you could have found a way to still attend.

Just go anyway.

I totally feel you. Was it Reagan ? Heard he was playing at the Wilbur recently

Next time, making sure everything is perfect should include starting on supplying your immune system with zinc and vitamin c starting a month prior to the event. Got the tip from a GP who uses this method through the winter to stay healthy during the onslaught of flu patients.
