Fistula also gets to me, crepitation (I can just hear bones grinding together when I hear the word)... I'm sure there's more. I'm going to reflect upon this and come back. I like this topic.
As long as I get to bed at a decent time, I don't have that much trouble on most days. I do have 3 alarms set at 15 minute intervals, the last one being a really obnoxious sound that I've gotten my brain to realize means "get the heck up now or you'r...
