“But I have high pain tolerance”
No you fucking don’t otherwise you wouldn’t be bitching about your fucking headache all the live long day. Eat the ibuprofen now.

I can't, I haven't even eaten today. I guess I really don't need to eat much. All I had was a grape today and a slice of cheese. No that's doesn't have anything to do with my headache, I told you I have a high pain tolerance.
Ohmyfuckinggod it’s you, the straw person.

Just one more day of medication overuse migraine bro, I promise
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.
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.

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.
Just dont take ibuprofen for every little thing and you should be good.

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
Not a headache but close enough, and you're right: I'm gonna take that tylenol.
Fun fact: Tylenol would never get past today's ethics board because of how dangerous an overdose is.
Sometimes you need a little treat, go for the naproxen. Every once in awhile I'll take one of those for a headache and it makes me realize how much my whole body hurts sometimes.
