If Frank Sinatra had CAPS, the lyrics to “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” might go like this:

I’ve got you under my skin.

I’ve got you deep in the heart of me.

So deep in my heart that you’re really a part of me.

I’ve got you under my skin.

I’d tried so not to give in.

I said to myself: this disease must be Muckle-Wells.

But why should I try to resist since, as a baby, my hives would swell

I’ve got you under my skin?

I’d sacrifice anything come what may

For the sake of havin’ it clear

In spite of a corneal haze that comes two to three days

And something, something plugs my ears…

And there blows a little cool, the weather and wind…

Use your mentality, wake up to reality.

But each time that I do just the thought of you

Gives me a rash before I begin

‘Cause I’ve got you under my skin.

I’d sacrifice anything come what may

For the sake of havin’ it clear

In spite of a corneal haze that comes two to three days

And something, something plugs my ears…

And there blows a little cool, the weather and wind…

Use your mentality, wake up to reality.

But each time that I do just the thought of you

Gives me a rash before I begin

‘Cause I’ve got you under my skin.

Yes, I’ve got you under my skin.

Comment below on a song that reminds you of your rare disease (even if you have to change it up a bit)!

James grew up in Switzerland, in a little town on a little lake among the foothills of the Alps. His very English first name is owed to his Australian mother. During university, James worked as a freelance journalist covering local news in the little country's capital. Once he completed his studies in political science and media, James moved to Sydney where he joined a media monitoring company. He remained in the media monitoring industry even after his return to Switzerland. Eventually, love brought James to America, where he joined the Patient Worthy editorial team.
