If you don't use pain meds on a whim, when you really need the help they will be more effective
Not really. Tolerance for pretty much any drug drops relatively fast.
Drug tolerance is generally not associated with acetaminophen or NSAIDs although using them frequently to manage headaches can definitely cause rebound headaches on discontinuation
Just dont take ibuprofen for every little thing and you should be good.
iirc it'll fuck your liver up pretty bad taking ibuprofen often
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is what fucks up your liver. Ibuprofen will cause stomach problems such as ulcers, but it won’t damage your liver.
Yeah but a lot of people never use them. Like I’m chronically ill, with chronic pain and only use maybe a couple times a year cuz of weird masculine “deal with the pain instincts”. I need to remind myself of this meme more often ahahha
