Today, I went to the doctors and was told I would need an inhaler. My mom came back from the pharmacy and told me the copay of $35 dollars was way too expensive, so she is making me use my cat's old inhaler. My mom values my cat's ability to breathe more then my own. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I told my mom I'm severely allergic to my cat and that the doctor told me it would be best to get rid of the cat. Somewhat jokingly, I told her it was either me or the cat. She chose the cat. She was serious too. FML
Today, my cat kept sneezing all morning so I took her to the vet. $150 later and the vet says she's fine. I get home and the noise starts up again. My automatic air freshener spray sounds just like my cat sneezing. FML
Today, I spat up blood and had horrible chest pain. My mom still made me go to school, claiming she needed to take the cat to the vet instead of taking me to the doctor. FML
Today, after recovering from pneumonia and a severe asthma attack caused by my dad's fiancée's cat, he chose to keep the cat. I can't go to his house without having to go to the hospital later. FML
Today, I was nervous about taking my cat to the vet for a UTI, because money’s a little tight. Turns out the antibiotics weren’t that expensive, but he wants at least $1,000 for dental surgery she apparently “needs.” FML
Today, due to the heat, I had a deadly asthma attack. Where was my inhaler? My dad pawned it for beer money. What did my dad do about my attack? Told me to quit being a Drama Queen. I had to go across the street and beg for a ride to the ER from my neighbor. FML
Today, I decided to go thrifting to save some money. Ironically, I ended up having to pay for an emergency trip to the hospital because somebody was too lazy to wash the cat hair off their clothes. I'm severely allergic to cats. FML
Today, I forgot my inhaler. I had an asthma attack and had to go to the ER. The doctors told me it wasn't an asthma attack. It was just a panic attack from worrying about whether I would get an asthma attack. FML
Today, I had to put my cat to sleep after she was in an accident. While I was crying hysterically, the vet asked me for $230. FML
Today, while driving me to the hospital because I was having an asthma attack, my mother lit a cigarette. FML

First! And geez. Some of these FMLs border on child abuse.

If you had free health care like we do in Britain, you would have gotten it far cheaper or free on the NHS. :)

Free - my Brother has one. But the NHS would be COMMUNISM!! And the republicans are terrified of the C-word!

The doctor office copay for me is 20....but your mom's a bitch....35 is nothing....If you are over 16, get a job and you can make that 35 a handful of hours...

Since when did cats have inhalers?

Your cat kills mice and rats, and you are just a parasitic burden on your family. If you only had the money to keep one member of the house alive, wouldn't you choose the productive one?

That is child abuse. What that mother has done is illegal. If she can't afford $35, perhaps she qualifies for medicaid for her child.

Did it ever occur to you that maybe the OP didn't need the inhaler for asthma? I have had bronchitis 4 times in the past year and every time i get it they write me a stupid rx for an inhaler, every single time i go to fill it they tell me it will be $35, jfyi, i have never filled it because $35 is alot and i know it is really not that necessary. When you have bronchitis, all an inhaler does is open up your lungs a bit more so it makes it more comfortable to breathe since your lungs are so inflamed, it is not absolutely necessary that you have an inhaler to survive. So I am with the mom on not paying the $35 ONLY if the inhaler was because you had bronchitis, although making you use your cats inhaler is probably made up because that isn't even possible unless your mom is a total idiot. However, if your mom wasn't wanting to pay $35 for an asthma inhaler(not related to bronchitis), that is borderline child abuse or at the very least neglect.
