Today, I thought my face was breaking out with pimples, and I thought it was weird because I never break out. And I noticed all these "bug bites" all over my body. When I got home, I realized those weren't bug bites. I have chicken pox, and my high school graduation is tomorrow. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at Church, the little boy sitting behind me asked his mother if I had the chicken pox, because there were red dots all over my face. I've had bad acne since I was twelve. FML
Today, I was at a sleepover for a friend's birthday. It was great, but after sleeping on their pull out couch, I woke up with six pimples on my face and a rash on my back. FML
Today, I realized that the "pimples" on my back weren't pimples at all. Because I was unable to see how bad they were for the last week, I never caught on to the fact the they were, in fact, ticks. FML
Today, at school, I was scheduled to give a presentation to my class. As I arrived, my teacher said to me, "You're bleeding from the 120th pimple on your left cheek." FML
Today, I've got so many pimples in my face, I could actually fill a bucket with my own pus. I'm 25. FML
Today, thanks to puberty, I have an acne rash around my mouth. Rumors are already flying around school saying I have herpes. FML
Today, I went to the doctor for what I thought was a persistent bug bite. Turns out it was a mole I'd never noticed. I had been scratching it then applying anti-itch cream for weeks. FML
Today, I found out that my recurring acne is actually bedbug bites. I have wasted about a hundred dollars on acne cream. FML
Today, as always, I have a type of eczema that flares up when I'm stressed out or anxious. And today, the girl I've been in love with for 4 years asked me out on a date. We meet up in a few hours, and right now I look like I have smallpox. FML
Today, a little girl pointed to the acne on my face and said to her dad, "Look at how many mosquito bites she has on her face!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I just got my 2nd vaccine for chicken pox. I'm 21. Don't go, there might be other people who've never gotten it. Graduation was a nice occasion, but it's not what I remember most when I think about high school. It's just an event.

Adults often need to stay in the hospital for chickenpox, and its a lot more painful to get it when you are older than 10 than if you get it as a young child. The main risk with adults is problems such as organ damage. I know of one person who died of complications from chicken pox - but she was 12, and it was only the autopsy that showed the chicken pox she had as a toddler were responsible (not sure what age). In her case, one of the chicken pox had gotten onto her heart, which caused her to die in her sleep without any warning at all. Risks like that are more common in adults but considering that Jill's death was a complete shock (her mother was actually the high school nurse), I'm guess thats a problem you can't tell you have until you are already dead from it

Crap. I don't even remember when I had chicken pox. I guess I was like 3 and it was on Easter. But I'm sorry, I hope you're still going! If I were you, I wouldn't let anything or anyone ruin my special day!
