Today, I found out my dad has a 1-in-a-million disease that makes your liver process pain medication at twice the rate of a normal person. If that wasn't bad enough, he also tells me he hopes I don't have it too, because it can be passed down. He said this because I'm 29 weeks pregnant. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out my father didn't have a rare brain disease, and that he was just an alcoholic. I've been taking care of him every time his "brain disease" acts up, for 2 years. FML
Today, my father, who I haven't spoken to in over 12 years, contacted me. He just wanted to let me know that I should get tested for a rare neurological disease. The only thing the man has given to me since my conception is potentially a death certificate. FML
Today, I’m getting a very interesting demonstration of how genetics work: I have inherited all my dad’s health issues, plus those from my mom, plus a bunch of new ones that belong exclusively to me. FML
Today, I had a seizure. My dad responded by saying it always happens with my disease. I never have had a disease. Now I have to wait for my dad to stop yelling at my mom about not telling me, so I can ask what I have in the first place. FML
Today, I'm found out I'm pregnant. My husband and I spoke at length about how we were going to handle things, which included him "forbidding" me from having an epidural, because he doesn't want our baby to "come out addicted to drugs." FML
Today, I found out that I have a heart disease. When I went to tell my family, they all said that it should kill me faster so that I can donate my organs to my cousin. FML
Today, I got my medical checkup back. Apparently, I'm diagnosed with a liver condition generally found in alcoholics. I've never drank in my life. FML
Today, my dad’s in hospice, my son was diagnosed with a second rare disease, my wife is unemployed with alcohol and depression issues, to the extent of having ruined our marriage by driving us into bankruptcy. I have high blood pressure and quite honestly, I’m surprised I haven’t had a stroke or a heart attack with all this. FML
Today, my father informed me that I was born only because my mom lied about being on birth control. FML
Today, I found out that my unborn son has an abnormally large head. I have an abnormally small and narrow pelvis, and I'm allergic to local anesthetic, so no epidural or spinal for me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Because the pain meds wear off twice as fast..... So in her case, when she goes in to have her baby, the pain meds she is given will wear off faster, and she will be at her maximum safe dose before the baby is born. Then she will have to endure the rest of her labor (the worst half) sans pain meds..

Suck it up. Lots of people give birth without painkillers.

You should probably stfu. No pain no gain? I'd love to see you push a bowling ball out of a whole the size of a quarter.

A quarter? A woman's cervix, when fully dilated, is ten centimeters... I've never seen a quarter that big. :/

Yet there are still many who say it feels like trying to shove a watermelon through a straw.

I wonder what this is. I know of a mutation that prevents a person changing codeine to it's active metabolites, but it's common.

My natural homebirth was the best thing I've ever done. I can't wait to do it again. (And it was 27 hours long.)

most deceases have to be from both sides ( specially the mom, such as baldness) to be hereditary, so you should do some research and find out if it is recessive or dominant, then worry, not before time. good luck
