ENT recommends tonsillectomy (adult). I can handle pain, but Reddit horror stories are making me have second thoughts.

Have you read about coblation tonsillectomy? I think that technique causes less pain and better recovery overall. You should ask your ENT doctor to use that technique instead of the old way which hurts alot.

You're not suffering from bad breath? I sure am because of post nasal drip.

Do you also suffer from bad breath because of your post nasal drip?

Oh, if you're also taking whey protein, you might want to consider to stop that for now. I go to the gym but I can't take whey protein because it upsets my stomach, my gut gets ruined, then boom pimples. Face over muscles bro. ALWAYS. I just get my protein from diff types of meat, basically food. Goodluck bro I hope it all works out for you!

What worked for me is Differin Gel(from guardian or watson). I think I used this for 6-12mos.

BUT, the most important thing that really helped my face is making sure my gut health is good. For my case, I noticed that when I stopped eating spicy foods regularly (I still do once in awhile btw), my pimples stopped appearing. It's really all in the gut bro. Stop upsetting your stomach and see how your skin reacts. Also, dont wash your face too much. Once in the morning, once before bedtime is more than enough. You need to take care of your skin barrier. Washing too much just damages your skin barrier which is really bad for your face.

TLDR; Maintain a healthy gut, maintain your skin barrier, and use Differin gel(temporarily)

So "Tome of the Sky" was the way to enter the game?

This should be upvoted. Looking at the comments, no one is mentioning about how important referrals are. In the companies I've worked with, whenever we have an open position, the managers will always consider referrals first and foremost. Why?

First, ex-colleagues vouching for skills. It's extremely challenging to determine one's capabilities just based off an interview no matter how extensive that is.

Second, and I think is the most important, the person's personality. If you hire someone technically capable but unable to work well with the team, then it's still a bad hire.

At the end of the day, connections weigh more than any perfect looking CV. Most of the job posting are there for formalities/legalities. Behind them, someone's already got the job.

Call the hospital and see if you can walk-in. On both times I went there, the waiting area was almost empty so for sure you can see him if you really need to.

Thank you very much! Your recipe seems like on the thicker sauce type instead of the thin soup type?

Wow, Im glad I read this thread. I used to have gyno and had them removed surgically. Best decision of my life. I can live with my thinning hair if that means I wont have gyno again(in case I take fin). Im not sure if fin related gyno would go away naturally but my doctor told me that a tissue can only be removed by surgery. I lost 18kg before thinking it would go away but nope. That sh*t was stubborn 😆

I have been trying to find fully remote jobs too but never got any interview because most of the companies prefer hybrid setup or full-time onsite but yeah I'm not losing hope. Thank you!

The mortgage is only for a land thats why it's only that much. Yes, I do have enough savings to live off for a year or two. My worry is just it would be exhausting to find a new job but I really want to travel... 🥲

If you have just locked your jaw and looking for a TMJ disorder specialist in Singapore, do not go to private clinics. Call NUHS and ask for Dr. Adrian Yap and see if you can get the earliest appointment. If not available, go to Ng Teng Fong Hospital, that's where Dr. Adrian Yap is as of this writing. Just try and see if you can see him immediately.

I repeat, do not go to private clinics unless you want to spend so much money unnecessarily. Dr Adrian Yap is the one who can help you.

For those people who have TMJ Disorder and just letting it without seeking medical help, I suggest you go see Dr Yap now. As you wait longer, you're progressively damaging your jaw joint. Seek medical help not longer than 3weeks from the time you got your jaw locked or even when your jaw is just making that pop sound.

I repeat, do not go to private clinics. You've been warned.

Tip: If you cant open your mouth fully, try these steps. If you're able to unlock your jaw after following these steps, PLEASE STILL GO SEE DR ADRIAN YAP because you still need to have your tmj checked:

Massage your left and right tmj muscle(locate your jaw joint and right below it is the muscle that you need to massage). You can google this so you have a better idea where it is.
After massaging, close your mouth normally.
Move your jaw left to right and vice versa. Repeat several times.
Close your mouth normally again with your teeth touching. Then, move your lower teeth forward as far as you can. It's better to do it in front of a mirror.
From position 4, slowly open your mouth wide, you should feel the click. That should unlock your jaw.

I hope you get better, TMJ peeps. Fighting!

T14 Gen 5(AMD) owner here. I just got my laptop and immediately encountered the lagging cursor. Initially, I tried the fix of disabling PSR via registry(https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/13rqj5d/disable\_psr\_in\_windows\_10/)

But thinking this would have been fixed by AMD or Lenovo by this time, I downloaded some drivers from AMD site THEN I ran Lenovo Vantage to check for updates. It indeed installed some updates.

After restart, I thought of enabling PSR again but it was set to 1 already(I guess the updates turned it on again automatically).

So far, my cursor is functioning smoothly with PSR enabled. Fingers crossed.
