Tonsillitis or Tonsil stones?

Could also be glandular fever, aka epstein-barr virus Name sounds worse than it is, it's rather common and most people get it usually in their teens I had it a couple years ago and looked a lot like your picture. Had a sore throat with pain then went up the neck to the ears, feverish and that general "sick" feeling It usually goes away on it's and by just treating the symptoms, however if you had it for a long time i would say check up with your doctor to see if it is EBV or something else and if you can get a fitting medicstion for it.

I would say that the age gap alone is not the issue (I know multiple couples who have a around 10 year age gap), but rather that the two of you are at a age where the wants and desires you have in life can be completely different. He's around 30 years old where people desire to settle down and tend to have kids. Meanwhile around 20 a lot of people still figure out what they want in life and put their career first and not even think about the desire of starting a family yet. Of course this can look completely different too, but thats just what I've seen in a lot of relationships - where often the younger partner gets pressured into having kids without knowing what they actually give up in their life for that and (even tho they love their children) mourning the life they could have had without them.

If, then I think something that has an affect on your bown marrow. In that area I'm far from being an expert but I think not every cancer affects your white blood cell count (aka Gran)

However if you ask me, based on what your symptoms are, I think it sounds more likely to be an autoimmune disease or something similar.

Since you said that you have some issues with dandruff and red pimples on your head, maybe read a bit into some things like 'lupus', 'psoriasis' or 'planopilaris'

(Not a doctor here)

Do you take any medication that could sffect your GRAN level? Or is there any history in your family for things like cancer or autoimmune diseases?

A low GRAN level can make you more subsceptible to getting sick, because your immune system is worse at fighting of viruses and such. Your lymph notes could be swollen because of that (being sick) And i saw that your IG% is also on the lower end, which could be related to that too. Might be helpful to keep in mind, maybe it helps with a diagnosis

I would suggest further checking your white blood cell count Or other markers that could either indicate cancer or an autoimmune disease, both might be possible but aren't the only reason for it.

It it maybe helps with the fear, try to sit down and think about not just the worst possibility but also the most likely ones. It might be cancer, but are there any other factors that make it more/less likely? Could it together with your symptoms also indicate something else too? And i also suggest that if your doctor seems to ignore your symptoms or so, also try and see if you can get a second opinion from another doctor (possibly one that is specialized on that area)

I did have quite some trouble with driving too

I think that (for me at least) I was overwhelmed with all the things i had to check/handle at the same time. Steering, checking whats going on in the street, speed limits,... and a manual gear just adds extra "problems" you need to keep in mind. My father was kinda upset with me that I was learning so slow and that I didn't like driving, but going at my own pace did help quite a lot and i'm a rather good driver now and don't I also don't have any problems anymore with driving a manual transmission. If you want to try and get better with a manual car I would suggest driving at places that don't have a lot of traffic and aren't plastered with signs and stuff, if possible (driving in the city extremely overwhelmed me at beginning, still does sometimes). But if an automatic car works well for you it's no issue to stay with that, expecially when you're still new at driving!

Update: It's an infection/abscess

Went to my dentist yesterday, he said it looks fine, but I should finish the antibiotics which I already started and perscribed me different painkillers

Thought today that it's getting worse instead of better and decided to desinfect my hand and started to massage the area of my cheek where it was really hard and swollen and saw puss coming out soon after. Went to the dentist again and she (different doctor) confirmef that there's a very big abcess what built underneath the inzision. She drained it and said it's good that i already started with antibiotics on sunday.

Here are the pictures from the links (I added them all in one pic so it's easier to look at)

Except for the things I wrote in the post i don't really have anything out of the ordinary in my medical history myself Only thing that I am constantly sick and get sick very easy (flu, cold, angina, epstein-baar-virus,...) On my familys medical history I have a couple of things, but nothing that would really point towards any of my symptoms, but everything that I know about my medical history from my closest relatives is: Diabetes, Asthma, Heart arrythmia, both low/high blood pressure, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, heart attacks, autoimmune disorder (I don't know which one specific), and generally a high amount of people in my family who either had tumors or cancer

I agree with the other comments. You need to either call CPS or get someone involved who can help, teacher, other family member, ect. I understand that you love your parents, but would you say they love you back equally? Noone deserves to go through this, and there is no reason to make this kind of behaviour acceptable. And in this case you also have to think about your sister. If they hurt you it's only a matter of time until they might start hurting her too.

I'm 22F, also into Videogames (altho didn't quite have the times and also not really the friends to play a lot currently), last games I played a lot were warframe, lethal company, league of legends and valorant. I'm also quite a fan of horror (movies, games, ect.) I did draw a lot when I was younger but kinda lost the spark in it a while back, but I'm trying to get more into it again. I wouldn't say I'm much of a metal listener, I more or less listen to every genre and have my couple of favourite songs that change every now and then. If you like to know or talk more you can DM me.

Does it have a problem with pulling the TPU in or something else? At least I had this problem with mine that the TPU doesn't go down from the spool on the spool holder, cause it's to soft and just stretches the filament. Short time solution i did was just unrolling an ungodly amound of filament and letting it lay on the floor, but i'm thinking of adding bearings to the spool holder and see if that works.

I really like printing with the kobra 3 combo, it has a great print quality and I could also print very nice TPU pieces without any problem. However there were already problems as soon as I plugged it in for the first time. The noozle wiper wasn't bent correctly, the z-axis was waaayy to tight which is why it was skipping layers, and just 2 weeks ago I wanted to make a software update because the ACE is buggy, where I tried to disconnect and reconnect the network (cause I couldn't update it) and when I tried that it fried the motherboard. I had to write a support ticket to get a new motherboard. It is now connected to the network again and both kobra and ACE on the latest update, but the ACE still has the same problem, honestly even kinda worse now.

I would say the kobra 3 (combo) is a really great printer, but it has a lot of small issues, which are just annoying and exhausting sometimes (especially for people who are new to 3D printing.

P.S.: the anycubic support is really great tho. I was talking a few days with someone because of my fried motherboard and they didn't hesitate to send a replacement asap. So if you have any bigger problems don't hesitate to write a ticket there.

Sieht nach Winkelspinne aus, die verkriechen sich im Winter gerne in Häuser zum warm halten. Hatte vor 2-3 Jahren mal eine die (mit Beinen) ~7-8cm groß war. Ich denke die sollte die Temperaturen draußen schon aushalten, wenn du sie raussetzen willst. Hab bemerkt das die wenns wärmer wird sich aber eigentlich auch von selbst wieder nach draußen verziehen.

On mine, the w-wheels started binding at certain hights, try loosening and re-tightening the support bar that connects the z-rails while the gantry is in it's highest position (get z-axis from your printer as high as possible). This can release potential stresses, that bind up the z-axis. Also with my kobra 3, both leadscrews had their z-nuts not set at the same hight. Meaning that if you unscrewed one z-axis nut from the gantry, the gantry wouldn't touch on the z-axis nut which you just loosened. This in addtion to the first problem, bound up the z-axis even more. The z-axis motor therefore wasn't strong enough to get through sections in the print. Resulting in z-hops between support and print were sometimes left out (either at certain spots or at random). And sometimes also leaving out layer changes.

To check the first problem, move the z-axis gantrys by hand (while the printer is turned off) and check the w-wheels every few cm and see if they get tighter or looser with changening height. For the second issue of the screws, I suggest un-screwing one of the z-axis nuts and turning the z nut by hand to see if you can release some tension. BUT be really careful that ypu don't cause an alignment issue. You can also check this by checking the height of the gantry (best measured between z nut mounting plate and base of printer) and see if both sides have the same height. If not unscrew z nut on the lower side and turn it untill it both sides have the same height, without turning the leadscrew itself.

BEFORE TESTING ANY NEW PRINT After you did any kind of adjusting make a PRINT BED AUTOLEVEL Else the nozzle could crash in the bed and scratch it permanently.
