I guess everyone’s different but I’ve never understood people that don’t pop a cheeky Paracetamol or Ibuprofen when they get a headache. If it’s just every now and then I really don’t see the harm, but I’ve met quite a few people who don’t like taking them for some reason. I’ve never pressed them on it because it seems rude.
I don’t get headaches very often, though, so I guess if they’re very common I could understand wanting to keep the pills for only when they’re really bad or something.
I’ve had the same bottle for a couple years now, but my understanding is it’s reasonably safe. I’ve never personally known someone who’s succumbed to ibuprofen addiction lol
They’re not addictive, but it can be kind of hard on your liver if you’re taking a lot, and I think NSAIDs can cause stomach ulcers (again, if you’re taking a lot).
I get headaches almost daily so I try to be careful, but I still take pain killers because they kill pain.
Privation fetish. I have a bit of it tbh. The feeling that you need to be able to weather hard times, for… reasons? Like you level up your endurance stat by withstanding pain or some shit lol
