It blows my mind how much people take OTC pain killers. I take one OTC pain pill maybe every three or four years (if even that).
I’m not anti medicine by any means, but I just don’t get it. Either I experience a lot less pain than other people or other people can’t be mildly uncomfortable for a little while without immediately taking drugs (and not even fun drugs)
I sometimes get headaches caused by lack of sleep or dehydration. When this happens, I can take a nap or drink water, but it will still be several hours before the headache goes away. If I take a single ibuprofen before napping/drinking water, it only takes a couple of minutes.

It may be dependant on age.
I used to never take analgesics, but as I got older I found myself taking more and more as my body tends to hurt more and more.
