Hi,my name is Gina my husband has als and is in what i think are the last stages.Today he is very weak.Last night when i tucked him into bed he said "this is getting so hard".A lttle over a year ago the lung specialist told us that he would probably be gone in a week to a month.He wears a bi-pap at night and uses his oxygen machine most of the day.I asked him this morning if he would like for me to call the doctor to see if she could provide anything further to make this easier for him.I know that he is suffering now and i have read that some people find morphine helpfull...I dont know however if that can be provided by our gp or if i need to phone the specialist or even if he may need to be in hospital for them to provide this.I cannot get a hold of my doctor today so i was wondering if anyone with any experience could help me out.....Gina
