My husband was recently diagnosed with LADA (Latent Adult Diabetes) Type 1 and has been in such severe pain it's hard to watch. The doctors won't give him anything for the pain itself. They have him Gabapentin first, then Cymbalta, and now he's on Lyrica. He's even tried CBD and that doesn't remove pain either. NONE do anything for the pain he's experiencing. And of course they won't give him anything like a narcotic for good reason. People get addicted and the hospital doesn't want another pill-addict on their hands. But in the meantime he can't work, can't drive, can't even get out of bed except to eat meals and his bathroom needs. The Insulin is NOT lowering his blood sugar like it should even though he eats SUPER low carb....mainly meat and veggies and some dairy and nuts. No one (at hospital) seems to care despite his pain he deals with all day and all night......And yes, we've told them all the same stuff i'm sharing in this post.
Also he wakes me up literally every hour or 2 and cries to me how much it hurts. I can't help crying in sympathy for him, but there's nothing i can do but keep praying that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I'm starting to lose hope that this is our lives now.....crying together in pain. We are trying to remain positive, but it's hard not to lose hope. I"m already there, i think, though since i've struggled with depression on and off since high school. I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post since what we really need is a miracle at this point, not another salve or pill that doesn't work. He's also tried various creams and salves = also no pain relief at all.
