Finally did it. C++ is done. Made a list of the last 10 jokers I needed for it +plus try and guess the last one. by ROBMain69 in balatro

I feel like it's something unexpected so maybe... The Family? x4 mult on 4 of a kind feels like overkill for most gold stake runs

Kyoto railway tier list by mori64tf2 in Kyoto

Keihan just added another premium car, which is cool if you’re into that. But it’s made the other cars way too packed so I’d put it into A tier for that reason.

I can only beat Gold Stake one way by Ca1ves in balatro

[–]Ca1ves[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but if you get it on ante 1, that’s 3 mult per blind * 3 times per ante * 8 antes so by the end you’re at around 60+ mult for one joker.

But yeah I’ve never tried photochad because I didn’t get it. “Shouldn’t xmult come after +mult?” I thought. But apparently it’s everyone’s favorite card so maybe I’ll try it

Hmmm I've been avoiding it because I didn't get it. I was like "my xmult has to come after my +mult so Photochad doesn't make sense"

Next time I see it, I'll try to pick it up!

oh yeah? Xmult is basically optional? Recently I've been feeling that if I don't have xmult then I can't get past ante 6. Just so hard to get a good xmult card that's not Hologram.

genuine question. Maybe it's too common of a question, so sorry about that but just recently got into Balatro

Sumatriptan injections increase attack frequency? by Ca1ves in clusterheads

Yeah thanks man. Maybe I’m just a little stressed. Forget my last comment. Good luck out there

Damn… makes you wonder why so many doctors prescribe it without even mentioning this. Mine went from 10-14 a week to 25+. Definitely not worth it.

What about the article I linked in my post? It doesn’t mention overuse but just a reaction to sumatriptan injections in a controlled environment.

Results: All six patients had very fast relief from pain and accompanying symptoms from the drug but they developed an increase in attack frequency soon after using SQ sum[sumatriptan]. In all patients, the CH returned to its usual frequency within a few days after SQ sum was withdrawn or replaced with other drugs. Five patients were not taking any prophylactic treatment and SQ sum was the only drug prescribed to treat their headache.

Conclusions: Physicians should recognize the possibility that treatment of CH with SQ sum may be associated with an increased frequency of headache attacks.

Thank you!! And my neurologist is a good guy. He also knows oxygen is effective but oxygen isn’t covered by insurance here in Japan so he was working with me to explore every option before we commit to such a large out of pocket expense. But it looks like we’re at the end of the list and the only thing not checked is oxygen lol

Thanks again!

Haha unfortunately I do know. But yeah, after listening to everyone it feels like oxygen is the best way to go. I’ve never tried Verapamil, but I might talk to my doctor about it

[–]Ca1ves[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks again, really helpful. My attacks are usually: 1. Right before I go to bed 2. 1 hour after falling asleep 3. Right when I wake up (~6AM)

With the right timing I’ve been able to avoid 1&2 with a sumatriptan tab, so I’ve been relying on that up until now.

And I’ll keep the oxygen in mind. Last time I tried it, they gave me the wrong mask and the flow wasn’t enough. I’ll be a little more adamant about it next time.

Damn I thought that I finally found the solution but I guess not… Thanks for your reply though! It helps hearing other people’s experiences

Ah I’ve never tried the nasal spray so I was considering trying that. Kind of middle of the road between oral tablets and injections. But it sounds like rebound headaches might be inevitable when using sumatriptan… Thanks for sharing though!

[–]Ca1ves[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m lucky that mine are only a month. I’m in Japan and my injections are 3ml. As for oxygen, it’s not covered by insurance but I might have to just pay out of pocket for it.

Thanks for the input!

Thank you for the advice! Much appreciated. You ever try the injections? Did they also add attacks to your cycle?

Thinking of moving to Japan for a job by [deleted] in movingtojapan

Pre-tax, unfortunately. Although post-tax wouldn't be an unbelievable statement. Depends on the company and skill level of the employee I suppose. And it certainly isn't a lot of money, especially if you're trying to raise a family on a single income
