Today, I tried to do my leaf collection project for biology, which ended with me being hospitalized because of an allergy attack. I have no idea what I'm allergic to, but my doctor says I should just assume I'm "allergic to all leaves, ever." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had an allergy test. Not only was I allergic to 35 out of the 40 items, they also found out that I'm allergic to the latex gloves my doctor happened to be wearing. Now my entire back is covered in a rash that will last at least another week. FML
Today, I was eating a mystery flavored candy and I had an allergic reaction. Not only did I have to go to the hospital because my throat swelled up, but I still don't know what I'm allergic to. FML
Today, I found out about allergies suddenly getting worse out of nowhere when it happened to mine. I can hardly step outside without feeling like hell when I get back home, which was never the case before, and I'm going through allergy medicine like a drug addict (almost). FML
Today, I found out I'm allergic to soil, pollen, dust, mold, the colors green, yellow, orange, black and grey, most metals, wood, carpet, drywall, most hygiene and beauty products, and plastic. Basically, I was told to avoid the entire planet and everything man-made. FML
Today, I went to the gym to run. I ended up at the hospital because i went into anaphylactic shock. Apparently I'm allergic to exercise now. FML
Today, due to the high pollen count and despite taking hay fever medicine, I passed out in the bathroom from not being able to breathe. My mother accused me of doing it on purpose to make her late for work. FML
Today, I had to go to the hospital for an allergic reaction. Turns out, I'm highly allergic to cherry blossoms. My wife and I just bought a house and moved into a new neighborhood. Almost every block in this neighborhood, including my own, has rows and rows of cherry blossom trees. FML
Today, I'm going on three weeks of unexplainable and minor, but noticeable ailments. The doctor says it's just my seasonal allergies acting up a ton, which was somewhat comforting, but it just won't stop, even when I remain indoors. I'm otherwise a very healthy person, so I think I have a reason to be worried now. FML
Today, I went to the allergist. I found out that I am allergic to dogs, cats, wool, fleece, and pet dander. I'm currently planning to go to school to become a veterinarian. FML
Today, I had to be rushed to the hospital when I started sneezing uncontrollably and got a huge rash. It turns out I'm highly allergic to a chemical in most cleaning supplies. Great. I just got a job as a house cleaner for a very rich family. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just see which leaves you collected and get spot tested for them.

Standard allergy testing includes to a bunch of different kinds of trees, right? If you haven't had that done before, perhaps you can now -- and perhaps allergy shots might improve things for you. In the meantime, I suppose at least you have a doctor's note to get out of the biology project....

That is pretty sucky op. Hopefully you will be able to find out what the leaf was. Life can be a bitch.

These comments made me laugh harder than the FML did.

The only time saying fir instead of for won't get you attacked by grammar nazis

#59 - there is an "you" in place of "your" in your bio.
FATTY_MCDOOGLE 29
These comments are very punny.
Sir_Loin257 4
67 if you read carefully saying "your" would make absolutely no sense listen "if your can't understand..."? How does that make sense?
Sir_Loin257 4
Also "an" should not be before "you" in your comment "y" is not a vowel in this case if you would like to try and talk about proper grammar you should have proof read your commer first
Sinkhole 26
Yeah, listen to the guy who doesn't proofread his comments.

Exactly. My mom had to do this after her body went haywire via cat dander.

That's likely my favourite video by Julian Smith.

Well, I'd rather eat Randy.

Julian Smith reference indeed. He makes the most hilarious videos on youtube in my opinion.

Leaf allergies, as if you didn't have enough incentive to stay inside during the fall...

Same here. I had an allergy test and learned I am allergic to every tree except a cedar tree. Took allergy shots....and had an anaphylactic reaction to those.
Celina_Lune 20
I'm allergic to all tree, grass, and weed pollens. As well as cat dander and dust mites. Thankfully, I started getting allergy shots a few months ago and they're helping me a lot. ...That's disappointing that they didn't work for you.

At least your doctor has a sense of humor.
Futacy 30
The only thing funny about OP's doctor is wherever he got his diploma from.

14- eBay isn't funny.
KiddNYC1O 22
This humor is a little off.

Great doctor... Not! Get another opinion... That's not good.
Futacy 30
Find a new doctor who will actually do his job and get you tested for your allergies instead of acting like his patients don't matter.
Church_Vii 4
You should know better than to assume any FML is a whole story. The doctor probably mentioned it as a joke, then proceeded to take action. FMLs are meant to share comedic experiences, which occur at certain points, and are never entirely serious.

Very funny username OP, anyway, that really does suck... Right in the middle autumn.
