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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after coming back from a trip to Africa where I got malaria, I went to the hospital for some blood tests. The doctor said, "Good news! You never had malaria! But they put you through a lot of dangerous treatments and now your liver has an anomaly." FML
Today, I found out why I get so red all over at parties. Turns out I'm allergic to alcohol. FML
Today, I was diagnosed with a condition that makes me lactate. I'm a 6' tattooed guy with a boxing competition coming up soon. I'm never going to hear the end of this. FML
Today, my physician, a known drunk himself, told me I was drinking too much and I should quit before my kidneys decide to divorce me and take the house and car with them. FML
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, the guy I've been seeing decided to "test the theory" that I can't drink alcohol due to a liver condition by mixing some into my drinks. He then complained that my ceaseless vomiting made his bathroom smell bad, and only took me to hospital when I started having a seizure. FML
Today, after decades of 24/7 cognitive impairment and being made to feel like a hypochondriac by many doctors over the years, I learned I have a severe physical illness. I kept researching and discovered my own illness, found out which test to ask for, and finally showed doctors proof. FML
Today, I threw up due to food poisoning. Despite my fever and pain, my wife is completely convinced it was from secretly drinking, and I am now "PERMANENTLY FORBIDDEN" from drinking anything alcoholic. FML
Today, I went to see a doctor due to some gastric distress I have. I came out with directions to buy a blood pressure monitor, I'm prohibited from doing sports, and have a possible diagnosis of arterial hypertension which I am way too young to have. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You can get liver problems if you mess around with pills. Same thing happened to my grandpa. Only one in my family who didn't drink a day in his life, but his doctors over-medicated him for a heart condition and he died from liver failure. I'd check any drugs you've been taking.

YDI for not drinking. Just think, you could have been enjoying yourself this whole time. That's like getting an STD as a virgin, sucks to be you.

Way to assume #34! Who says the OP is obese?? It could be caused by something else. SMH @ the silly people saying YDI for not drinking... #40, you don't have to drink in order to enjoy yourself. If you have to drink in order to enjoy something, that's a shame. OP- sorry to hear this... I hope things get better :).

"Your liver will repair itself when you stop taking pills...." Please cease and desist giving medical advice. "by not drinking you should have a higher chance of a healthy immune system." And this has what to do with cirrhosis of the liver?

gymnosperm: We don't know what the OP looks like they, could be a stick. So stop calling people fat, you jackcunt. Because I know people who eat ALL THE TIME, and are freaking skinny. Wow, your presumtion has been proven wrong by someone's metabolism! OP: Wow, that really sucks. And the irony just worsens it, but if you need a new liver or anything you will be at the top of the list because you AREN'T an alcoholic. I hope you get better!
