Victoria Payne Poet Rhyme

It Must Be Eds

'It must be EDS'

When your hip pain takes a dive
And you wake just half alive
When your neck slips out of place
And the pain spills on your face
It must be EDS
Thats put you to the test

When your back screams just from standing 
And your head explodes on landing
When Chiari pains your brain
Swells with thunderstorms and rain
It must be EDS
It's harsh I must confess

When your knees and ankles turn
Slightest exercise does burn
When you stand up far too quick
Feeling dizzy makes you sick
When you can't get out of bed
Or barely lift your head
It must be EDS 
Annoying little pest 

When your gut just won't digest 
Yet follow diet you detest
When your jaw falls out of place 
And every day you force your face
To smile and say 'i'm fine'
Yet your body draws the line
It must be EDS
That's made you feel so 'less'

When your headache's every day
And it's time they docked your pay
When you've done all that you can
But your career is down the pan
It must be EDS
That's got you in this mess
