Today, I was told that I may die by the time I'm 30, and that I should Google the disorder because he doesn't know what it is for sure. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was told by a doctor that I have a fatal disease, and that I should start making preparations for when I pass away. Then, another doctor showed up, panicking, and said that was meant for someone else with the same first name as me. The mini-heart attack I had at that moment almost killed me anyway. FML
Today, I was laughingly informed that I'm an overachiever, by my doctor who thinks I have more health conditions than anyone my age should have. Guess who was just diagnosed with another? FML
Today, at the age of 30, I was diagnosed with both sciatica and ADHD. I don't know whether to feel really old, or really young. 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, my doctor informed me I was a fascinating patient. Why? I have "more health issues than a patient my age should." I'm 26. FML
Today, my doctor said I "might" have an enlarged heart and an irregular heartbeat. It "could" be seriously life-threatening and I "should" go to a specialist for further tests. My insurance refuses to cover my consultation with the specialist because the doctor's wording is too uncertain. 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, as I continue to experience more revelations about how fucked up my mental and physical health really are, I'm starting to feel as though I was destined to not live very long. If I were to list every mental health issue or chronic condition I have, it would likely be enough for an entire Wikipedia article. FML
Today, my doctor died. Last week, after a check up I'd had because I was worried about a cough, he told me not to worry because I was as healthy as he was. FML
Today, I was told by a doctor in no uncertain terms that, with all of my mental and physical health conditions and personality disorders, there is, "absolutely no way I can possibly live a normal life, unless a miracle occurs." Well, I guess I'll just go fuck myself, then. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I wish I could get paid six figures a year to tell people to google their own conditions. Geez...

What's up with all the FML's lately having pronouns that don't link to another noun?

You probably wont die before 30. I'm a Nurse Practitioner, which means I'm trained as a doctor without the title. All I really can tell you, is go to another doctor. There are people out there that have to go to SEVERAL doctors to get a diagnosis because there are so many links to the human bodily functions that doctors have to team up. There's always new diseases and disorders that are being researched. It took almost 3 years when I was kid to find out that I had Ménière's disease. I had to go to so many doctors. Even when they found out I had a sleeping disorder, it took 3 doctors. Your doctor sounds like he was playing stupid with you. I know of some doctors that do that. I'm only a few provinces over in Alberta.

I'm a cabana boy at a swimming pool which means that I'm trained as a United States Supreme Court Justice but without the title, and in my opinion you should go with a Physician's Assistant because their diagnostic skills are unsurpassed.

Actually, I am! Every professor I had said that is what a nurse practitioner is. We have the same training. We take extra courses to get there. I've been doing this for 11 years, I have had to deliver a baby before. Honestly, don't try to tell a professional what they aren't. Look it up. My brother is a doctor, and we got the EXACT same training. They send Nurse Practitioners to war places, because they act like doctors, they do the same thing doctors do. My mom is an RN, My dad is an OBGYN. My brother-in-law is a surgeon. Tell me something I don't know about doctors. I grew up with this, it's embedded in my head like screws.

I shudder to think of the "training" doctors are getting in AB if it's the same as an NP. You are NOT the same as a doctor, despite your delusions. Sure you delivered a baby, but when the shit hits the fan, you don't have the same depth of knowledge an MD does. Stop being so ignorant, you're making all other (awesome) nurses look bad.

If you had the exact same training as a doctor, then why the hell don't you have an MD? If it's the same training you should have your MD. I'm sorry but there's no way you can have the same training as a doctor with 2 years less of schooling. I'm sure you know a helluva lot, but you don't know as much as a doctor. Thank God you're not in my country because I'd be concerned going to a clinic and having someone as idiotic as you treating me.
