"i&#039;ve been on oxycontin for almost 4 years with a dosage of 40mg twice daily supplemented by hydrocodone 10/500 three times a day. my diagnosis is severe skelelatal trauma from a motorcycle accident and other car accidents. the oxycontin provides me with almost complete relief on a good day and makes my pain bearable on a bad day. the negative is the brutal withdrawl. i travel extensively for my job and take with me only what i need in a separate pill box. i carry a copy of the presecriptions with me. i had 22 oxycontins and 30+ hydrocodones stolen out of my luggage. i didn&#039;t want to ask for a refill early because i couldn&#039;t get either the airline or tsa to acknowledge the theft and did not want to be labeled a drug seeker."
