Today, I found out I have sodium fluoride poisoning. Apparently, my water has a high level of sodium fluorine. I've been drinking much more water lately trying to be healthier. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I heard on television that a body was found in my city's water reservoir. Word is that it was dead for over a week. I've been drinking and showering with that water. FML
Today, I realized I need to cut back on drinking. Not booze, but water. I compulsively drink so much water that my body is bloated from water absorption and I have to pee constantly. FML
Today, I found myself sitting in the bathroom at work searching the internet for the alcohol and caloric content of cool mint Listerine. I now believe that I may have a problem. FML
Today, I woke up, took a shower, made some pasta, drank 3 glasses of water and brushed my teeth. I then left my apartment to see signs posted all over warning us not to use the water without boiling it because the water company just found E-coli in the water. FML
Today, I'm starting to have a chlorine sensitivity. I'm a swimming teacher. FML
Today, I noticed a thick layer of mold growing inside the straw of my water bottle. I use that bottle every day. FML
Today, I choked on water so hard that I threw up and shat myself. FML
Today, I found out the reason I've been itchy for the last two weeks is because I'm now allergic to chlorine. I'm also a swimming instructor. FML
Today, my parents took my to hospital with headache, cramps, sweats and tremors. The doctor thought I was an drug addict in withdrawal, which, after some questions, turns out I am. I gave up fizzy soda last week and am in total withdrawal from caffeine and all the other addictive chemicals in soda. FML
Today, my brother started ranting about how fluoridated water is a conspiracy to "turn people gay". I said the government must be doing a shit job of it, since he's been drinking the stuff longer than I've been alive and is still married to a woman. He punched me so hard, my vision blacked out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I didn't even know that was actually possible.... just try and drink bottled water instead of from the tap. it'll hopefully prevent that.

If FML has taught us anything, it is that when you try bad things happen.

That's terrible that they are adding unsafe amounts, you need to report this somehow. My husband is crazy paranoid about the government and fluoride . He is a plumber and installed a reverse osmosis water filtration system to remove all the fluoride from the water at our house. Then worried we were loosing all minerals so added a re-mineraliser to add minerals back into the water. It's very loud and waste allot of water trying while purifying the water. I'd say bottled water would be easier!!

what a coincidence, Brita water bottles have really good filters.

In the long run bottled water will add up...but over all a water purifier may not be a bad idea...or drastically go to well water

Wow, look at all the misguided amateur chemists and biologists commenting on this one! Don't quit your day jobs. And please, for the love of god, stop trying to give advice based on what your paranoid friends on social media have reposted. As for the OP, I strongly doubt that the municipal water supply has been over-fluoridated, since the EPA highly regulates tapwater. If the diagnosis is correct, then either OP is drinking well water from a highly mineralized well, or they've got an unidentified fluoride source in their diet. For instance a woman in Detroit (yes, also Michigan) was in the news last year with fluoride poisoning from drinking "the equivalent of 100 cups of tea a day for 17 years". There's a small amount of fluoride in tea.

The proof is that it is ******* illegal in Europe. Also Germany used it to poison enemy water supplies in WW2 because for some reason no one remembers that.

You know, I heard of a recent study the other day...it turns out that lab rats get cancer. Seems like this week's antioxidant miracle-workers are next week's toxic threat.

That doesn't seem terribly far-fetched though. All rats are prone to cancer. My friend raises rats and 98% of them die of cancerous tumors. She'd had almost 40 rats so far. *Mind you she got about 17 of them after two of them bred*. Cancer is high in rats.

You must be in Peel Region! Heard all about it! The municipal water commission took responsibility

FYI fluorine and fluoride are not the same thing
