Today, I finally went to the doctor for a condition I've had all my life. Turns out it was easily cured with a simple pill. I peed in my pants everyday for 27 years for nothing. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after 8 days of being on a medication that makes it hard to go to the bathroom and no luck taking laxatives and drinking coffee and apple juice, I finally got to go. Too bad I was at my desk at work when it happened. I washed out my pants in the bathroom and got to sit in wet pants for 4 hours. FML
Today, I spent two hours trying to catch a urine sample whilst at urgent care due to my inability to pee in public restrooms. I finally managed one, and was so excited by my success that I fumbled it and spilled it on my pants. FML
Today, I went to the doctor for a physical. I've been sitting in the doctor's bathroom for 10 minutes now, trying to think of how to tell him I accidentally tripped and spilled my urine sample on the carpet. FML
Today, I've been chronically constipated so long that I was actually grateful for the sudden blast of diarrhea that ruined my pants. FML
Today, a day after after I took a diet pill, I participated in a sprint test. I shat in my pants. I finished the test but got a bad grade. FML
Today, the bladder infection I thought I was over flared up at work, causing me to piss myself, despite having gone twice in the previous hour. I still had to finish my shift, soaked pants and all. FML
Today, I had to go to the clinic for a physical. The nurse asked me for a pee sample; however, I had no urine to give. After 20 minutes of standing at the stall I was able to squeeze half a cup of pee. As I approached the sink to cover the sample, I somehow managed to drop it all over myself. FML
Today, I went in to the doctor's thinking I had a bladder infection. I walked out knowing I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I was holding in pee because i was so busy at work. When I finally got up to relieve myself, I pulled down my pants, sneezed at that exact moment and peed all over the bathroom floor. FML
Today, I had to get a urine analysis done for my doctor. I take medicine that makes me a little shaky sometimes. Guess who spilled their pee all over themselves while trying to put the lid on. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm unsure why it took you 27 years to do this. I understand it can be embarrassing but in my mind it's even more embarrassing to have this happen to you during the day.

Why would you, or your parents not visit a doctor?

It happens plenty of times that people are too scared to go to the doctor out of fear.

OP might have gone previously and gotten misdiagnosed.

The way it's written makes me think OP had gone to a doctor at some other point and been told there was no fix, it was a permanent condition

He finally went to the doctor, so im gessing its the first time OP is trying to solve the issue.

Exactly, the way it's written, to me says she's FINALLY made the decision...

It says "finally went to the doctor" not "finally found out that it was easily fixable". That means that it was OP's first trip to the doctor. And if it was misdiagnosed then that would most likely be mentioned, as that makes it even more of an FML situation.

But after that the cycle begins again.

Unfortunately for OP, the side effect of the new medication is crapping her pants daily.

I'm just curious as to what condition causes this and how you were dealing with it for 27 years. Did you wear a diaper or something?

what condition causes that and is fixed by a pill? hormone imbalance?

Someone I know has a kid who couldn't hold her pee and it was because she kept having muscle spasms that would force her to urinate. Medication to prevent the spasms later, no more kid coming home in borrowed gym shorts.

Maybe OP was too poor to visit a Doctor or was afraid that the meds would cost too much or OP would need an expensive surgery. (Assuming OP does not have free healthcare)

I can understand that, but 27 years..?

It doesn't hurt to do some research online too, that could've helped

I know I had a similar problem as a child. My bladder was too small for my body so I was incapable of holding my bladder. I peed the bed many times before I was taken to the doctor. He gave me some medicine to help my bladder grow (I think that's what it did, it's been awhile). Now I'm fine. I can hold my bladder without trouble.
