Particularly for physical injuries, I sometimes prefer to suffer as it reminds me that I need to be careful, which I know I'd forget if I subdued the pain.

For things like flu's where it's just pure suffering for nothing, I'll suck down as many painkillers as I can have in a day.

I do this, but it needs to be balanced with a healthy dose of "don't overcompensate or you'll fuck up the uninjured side."

My co-worker fucked up her foot that way. She sprained her ankle during a hiking trip and just kept popping painkillers so she could keep walking.
