Today, my brother and I were talking about Ebola, when he says he would love to have the disease because of how famous it would make him. Plus, his college essays about him "fighting through the disease" would be "phenomenal". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the "man cold" has infected my brother. He honestly thinks he's dying. He only has the sniffles. FML
Today, my buddy told me he was going to get an HIV test at the health department. Without thinking, I told him to "think positive". FML
Today, my younger brother sat on some poison ivy. He didn't have any symptoms because he's pretty much immune to it. Also today, my boyfriend had to run to the ER because he got poison ivy on his genitalia. I knew they spent way too much time together. FML
Today, I got diagnosed with Lyme disease. My whole family thought it would be hilarious to call it, "Lame disease." FML
Today, I was rushed to the ER due to a very swollen foot and high fever. The doctors said I just have a tissue infection but my parents believe I have a flesh eating disease. I can hear them discussing my future with an amputated leg. FML
Today, my sister compared me handling the news of recently being told that I have a devastating and very possibly fatal autoimmune disease, to that of a teenager being melodramatic. FML
Today, I got a call from my younger brother's school to pick him up immediately. He had a test today, but he had the brilliant idea that by telling everyone he had head lice, he could go home. I had to leave work to pick him up, and now I have to take him to a doctor so they can see if he can go back. FML
Today, I had no choice but to bring my son to work as a med school professor. I sat him in a chair in a corner while I gave a lecture. To my surprise, he added another word to his limited vocabulary, and screamed it out loud with an ecstatic expression on his face. The word is "cancer". FML
Today, my brother has two broken arms and needs help wiping his own ass. Bonus, he has bad diarrhoea from the food poisoning he got from the shrimp he made me hand-feed him yesterday. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I had diabetes. He won't talk to me anymore because he thinks I'll infect him with it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Your brother is a moron.

You should tell him that the disease literally makes your blood boil. Probably one of the most painful ways to die

Well, he wouldnt be famous for very long...

What's the point in being famous if you're not around to enjoy it. Or if he is around and survived like he assumes, what's the point of being famous if he has lifelong complications and health issues and can't enjoy it. Trust me, you cannot put a price on your health.

So your brother is pretty much asking for a death wish

Guess no one told him about the 70% mortality rate

Ebola isn't a disease its a virus. You know like Swine Flu? Its treatable with vaccines yet no vaccine is made yet. He is stupid for wanting it

..."Ebola isn't a disease it's a virus" REALLY? Being infected by a virus is classified as a disease. Other than that you're completely right though :P.

The condition of having Ebola hemorrhagic fever is literally called Ebola virus disease. Just going to throw that out there.

"It's treatable with vaccines but no vaccine has been made yet," doesn't the last half of that sentence make the first half pointless? Plus, I'm pretty sure you can get plenty of other diseases/conditions/syndromes from any damage the virus causes.

72, Viral infections can only be treated with vaccines. Other medicines can treat the symptoms, but not the virus itself. Therefore the only medicine that could be made to cure or prevent Ebola directly would have to be a vaccine, however, there's been no vaccine made yet. Any other medicine just helps the body remain strong enough so the patient can live long enough to combat the virus with their own immune system. I think that's what she meant.

He is going places. Not college but places.

Until he bled out the eyes and died like that dude in Texas and eventually his nurse.

Stupid as that would be, he does have a valid point.

If he didn't die...
