"my hubby has been on the  med since sept 2015.   it is not working..  they  put him on the gaba to remove the morphine.  in the last 4 weeks  by 11pm he is wide awake in pain and in tears.  in the last 2 weeks the heavy pressure on  his right side just below the shoulder is worse each time.  he has developed a cold  that will not go away  starting in nov. we see the doc on feb 3rd. he is taking a sleep aid  and med for really bad  headaches.  i am  so  afraid of what will happen when  the next dose falls.   we have been married for 24 years.  he  has had problems with drugs and drink all his life  from 9 years of age on..  yep   .. people  9 years of age..  started smoking pot and drinking..
