    Yeaaahh buuut... as a person who used to have migraines developing tolerance is a thing a very much a problem. Luckly some tolerances the body seems to "unlearn them".

    I used to have frequent headaches as a child.
    Initially, I just took the medicine, but everytime, it returned with 2xamplitude after a day or so (probably when the effect wore off).
    Stopped taking the medicine after a few years.

    It was much later that I realised, headaches always have a root cause and the pain was just telling me - there's something much worse going on.

    Pain is your friend. Tells you when there is a problem and sometimes, even helps you know where.
    Had I taken painkillers for my broken toe, I probably would have broken it again... and again.

    Taking painkillers is kind of like closing the doors of the control room as the captain of a sub and driving onwards when there's a fire onboard.
