how's your immunity overall? Do you get sick often? Lot of mucous clearing (dry cough) throughout the day?

Tonsils themselves are never the problem, they get inflamed because they are protecting you and warning the rest of the body at the same time. The root cause could be in your mouth. Poor dental health can cause migration of pathogenic bacteria down the digestive & respiratory canals. Especially if you have a lot of inflammation, cavities etc. Impaired immune function as well which could have many different causes. How's your digestion?

lol, probably realised that injecting herself with steroids doesn't cut it

Yeeeah about that.... Try extra virgin olive oil instead. Few drops, give it 10 minutes then turn around and see if anything comes out. Don't worry it won't enter the skull, the eardrum is covering the entire ending of the auditory canal. If that doesn't cut it, get one of those syringes and try some warm water, that should do it. HP can be extremely irritating and the more you disturb the inner lining of the ear the more wax you may actually get. Kinda like when mucous is building up inside an irritated throat, I believe the wax is a response to irritation of the auditory canal and also a means of self-cleansing, it's not necessarily a bad thing and there is likely a reason why its being overproduced which may be where the headphones come in.

It helps to have a bit of consistency and planning. And maybe a bunch of new recipes to add some spark and new flavours. What you can try is to do a little bit of planning. For example, on Sunday you sit down and plan what you are going to eat from Monday - Friday. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Write down all the ingredients and then go shopping for the whole week. Having a cookbook will help you with this and it is a good way to introduce new flavours. Once you know what to cook, it takes away the burden of having to think about it every day and you just go in the kitchen and get to meal prepared. As you are preparing the meal, you start building up an appetite. This is called a cephalic phase of your digestion. Where the brain observes that something is happening and it already starts to send signal via the branch of the nervous system called Enteric nervous system to your digestion. Digestive juices slowly start to flow, hormones including ghrelin & serotonin are building up and appetite is formed. Make sure you become present & mindful to the process of cooking. Smell the ingredients, imagine how the food will taste, take a little bit in your mouth as you prepare but prevent eating during the cooking, just taste tiny bits. All of this helps the appetite to build up & digestive juices to get flowing. . By the time the meal is ready, your appetite is at its peak. The second advice is to make sure to exercise regularly. This not only creates hunger by manipulating your blood sugar levels by exercise is an endocrine modulator, it helps you feel more cheerful, more positive and improves your outlook of the world. Enjoying your life more also increases your desire for food and alters your appetite. Third advice is to be mindful of how stressed you are. If your stress is too high throughout the day, your hunger will be suppressed. Cortisol will do that to you as you'll be switching to emergency survival mode. And final advice is don't play around with ketosis, intermittent fasting (for other than spiritual purposes) or any of that nonsense. Eat regularly and your body will naturally adjust. If there are any underlying health problems I'd speak to the doctor but dietitian may help you structure your meals better & your diet better. All the best !

I don't know where you live but that's still A LOT of girls. Most guys get nowhere near that.

This may be stress related but it could also be if you do lot of IF or keto diet and deprive your brain of essential glucose.

Your diet & lifestyle will play the most important factor. This is a bit complex to elaborate in a comment but here are few basic pointers for you to "tick" * don't skip meals * don't intermittent fast (unless you have a very good reason for it e.g. health condition. spiritual purpose etc). I know this is a big topic but I see a lot of people who do IF, destroy their metabolism & energy levels and can't go on without having 5 coffees during the fasting window. make sure you don't do that. * check your caffeine intake (if you can't make it throughout the day without coffee, this will likely be what is destroying your energy) * don't avoid carbohydrates but make sure you pick the "good" ones. * make sure your meals are well balanced (contain complex carbs, fats & protein) * make sure your portions aren't too small but not too large either. You should feel satisfied after a meal but not stuffed * Exercise at least 4 times a week if you can. * Make sure your eyes are exposed to daylight early in the morning even if it means having a tea on the balcony. Helps you adjust your circadian clock * go to sleep at the same time every day, don't overnight, don't stay up later than 11pm. (Aim for at least 7.5 hours) * If you are taking any medical drugs, some may cause drowsiness, tiredness and sleepiness throughout the day. If nothing of this is relevant from this list, you may need some blood tests to help you identify the cause.

Start by getting a source of income. It is difficult to make any decisions without money. You can't expect high-paid jobs without chipping in and either getting education or becoming very creative with your time. Get a basic job to start working on your morale & work ethics. In UK there are plenty of large chains that are always looking for people: Go to something like Pret-A-Magner, Starbucks, Subway, Sainsbury's, Tesco...whatever. Get a job and get an income. Getting a job will help you build up a work ethic. You will meet people which will improve your social skills. Having a sense of duty & obligation will raise your morale. Companies like Pret will probs pay you around 18-22£ K/year which is a good starting point. For now, forget about college and get your finances in order.

sorry, missed the reply. See if you can get any of these 1. Full blood count 2. ferritin (or any iron marker you can get) 3. B12 + Folate 4. thyroid - including. TSH, T4, T3 (not always possible) + thyroid antibodies 5. food intolerances 6. Vitamin D 7. HbA1C + fasting blood glucose

since deviated septum is a mechanical obstruction of your own nasal cartilage being in the way, I don't think you can fix that with herbs (but don't let that become a limiting belief, chances are there are techniques out there you can try to fix it yourself ). But I'd say this is one of those cases where cosmetic surgery can fix you up nicely.

I found it to work exactly the same way for me. After the first minute, it actually starts to appear pretty warm even if I bump it up to the coldest it gets. Funny how rapidly adaptable the human body is. Need more pix of the aurora pls

nice!

I occasionally use a sort of empty plastic syringe (without needle) and with warm water flush them through. Last year one of my years got really stuffed after I used earbud that I literally lost 50% hearing for 24 hours. The syringe thingy fixed it and since then I do not own cotton buds. Wish I knew before. Something like this is super helpful. It could also be that you are listening to music too loud? That may create a sort of mechanical pressure on the microbiome in the ear forcing the buildup of ear wax? I know this sounds funny but try less earphone time generally and less volume and see if that helps?

Hopefully, this won't be upsetting advice but I'd be careful with falling into SEO trap. I don't mean to undermine your efforts but SEO is a pyramid scheme (legal one of course). There are only so many articles on Page 1 of google search and those will in 99.999% cases be captured by Healthline, WebMD and other big names. It is extremely difficult to compete with these organisations if you are just one person with limited capital. What you are trying to do is to spread your time into many extreme and many separated markets. As a one person you may find this extremely challenging. Instead, I'd focus on one specific topic (e.g. joint health for athletes, or joint health for football players....something like that but possibly even more specific and even more nische) and only sticking to that and making it your core focus. Otherwise, if you want to win on Google searches you will be facing giants who have hundreds of employees and tens of thousands of dollars to put into marketing. Alternatively, you can find your small group of perfect audience who will want to read to what you have to say. Maybe become active on football forums and get in touch with people who play it or watch it regularly, those who are interested in what you have to say, build a tiny community and grow it organically. Facebook groups for example are good for this.

Oh Absolutely. On numerous levels. 1. Depletion of major antioxidants (glutathione, catalase SOD) so the brain becomes more vulnerable to inflammation & free radical ( waste molecules of normal metabolism) damage 2. HM bind to NMDA receptors creating a state of hyperexcitation which can lead to depletion of certain uplifting neurotransmitters leaving the person kinda zombie-like or to damaging of the receptors which can then make the person difficult to get excited for anything in life because the stimulatory pathway is not working properly. 3. disruption of blood sugar balance by damaging insulin signalling 4. BDNF depletion which switches off neuroplasticity 5. Disruption and opening up of the blood brain barrier -> this can cause a flow of shitstorm in the brain that would have never got there otherwise. Things like LPS (waste of dead bacteria)

What is your diet like? Sleep? Hydration? Coffee intake?

Interesting! I've never heard about this but then AGEs are basically a demon child of carbohydrate and protein created through a devilish and ungodly lovemaking so perhaps it is possible that through the radiation there is sort of a collapse of the molecular boundaries & then reforming of the bridges between DNA structures to form a new molecule. Definitely possible but I don't have any evidence to back this up

My grandfather used to say: "never marry a girl you don't consider beautiful or you'll spend the rest of your life suffering everytime you look at her" Beauty is subjective and very superficial but being in a relationship with someone you genuinely consider attractive makes life more enjoyable as harsh as that sounds. I agree with everyone who says that personality, values etc are more important...they are. But if the person is unattractive to you, that will mess up your sex life and if that doesn't work most relationships will fail. Let her go, somebody else will find her beautiful and you should wait for the one you genuinely consider beautiful. it is worth the wait,

eh...let's fix the root cause shall

nothing does. Unless you can move out to a small village or find a cabin in the woods, there is no escaping pollution.

This was good suggestion by @UDT, ketogenic diet can indeed be keeping you awake at night. There is not a lot of research evidence for this but glucose deprivation can sometimes trigger these adrenaline & cortisol spike at night due to your brain possibly panicking that it has no substrates for energy production. Also your brain alone burns somewhere around 150g of glucose a day (perhaps even more) and if that is hard to come by for example by missing substrates for gluconeogenesis (making energy from non-carb sources) such as various B-vitamins, L-carnitine, alpha-lipoic acid (not suggesting you supplement) or other stuff. A lot of people doing IF have deficiencies of essential nutrients require for energy production because they rely on protein-heavy (but micronutrient poor) foods in that one eating window to match caloric needs. This gets even worse if vegan or vegetarian does IF and relies on a single meal of beans or lentils with few veggies to carrier them through. This is how metabolism is wrecked. It may be that your brain perceived itself as being starved and will wake you up to go and find food. Also, it appears that being in ketosis can be heavy on your adrenal glands (stress hormone-producing gland) because ketosis is a deprivation & starvation state, not a thriving state (yes this is controversial I know). Think about ketosis as your emergency mode kinda like hospital having a short-term power supply in case there is a power cut. You shouldn't live in emergency mode. It is there to keep you alive in times where (historically) sugar would have been scarce (such as famine, winter etc) but once again this is not something I was able to find a lot of research so it remains speculation from my side. TOO LONG DID NOT READ Try seeing if you can do cortisol :DHEA testing. Like I said it HAS TO be salivary. Doctors only do blood cortisol but that's useless because serum cortisol is tightly regulated and does not show discrepancies. It may also be called along the lines of "HPA test" or "stress test". This helps you to identify whether your stress hormones are spiking up unnaturally at night or whether your HPA-Axis (brain to adrenal gland communication) is being disrupted. If that proves to be so, post it back on the topic and we'll try to help you out Sorry if this post is overwhelming, I am not sure how to write this in an easy way, working on that Good luck!

@Member not sure if you are joking or not.. but that's some pretty unsafe advice .@electroBeam consider looking into cortisol:dhea testing. It may be that you have a rapid spike of adrenal hormones at night. Sometimes people experience this. Make sure to do salivary not blood test.

What are to you experiencing?

You can always buy a high quality respirator with replaceable filters. Bike out of peak hours or out of town completely. It is generally much safer to use public transport in big cities and in most cases is fairly economical. But other than that there is not much else to be done. Do your best to stay off the main roads when you can.
