RE Pain Killers:
Frankly, I'm on fairly high does pain killers and have been for a year - the classic "we will write you a 15 script" kinda meds, with NO refils

Thing is, I find that a LOT of days, I don't need them every 6 hours, but more like ever 8-9hours. When do I refill? At 15 days. At this point I probably have a spare 2 week supply

I REALLY, Really hope I never have to long term (or for that matter, short term) bug out. Last year I developed a serious chronic health problem, and I lug around more drugs than you might imagine (along with dressing and the like to deal with the problem. Falls in the "this is no fun" zone
