    You can build a tolerance to both of those things, but their painkilling effectiveness is just not as strong as opiates.

        Sorry, I was very tired - however, having taken ibuprofen for years - 2 pills will not give me the same pain relief as it did 10 years ago. I have to up it to 3, or 4. I’m not sure if this is tolerance or an increase in inflammation resulting in a need for a higher dose (hoping not).
