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.
