Debi, I also think that you should fight the Methadone suggestion. My DH was put on that for his back pain before he passed away (herniated discs and something else that the name escapes me). I have no proof but I truly believe that med had something to do with his heart issues.

After doing some research on it I found out that it was used to help herion addicts come off the drug. WHAT??

I hope Luke might go with you to your next appointment and question the doctor on his knowledge of the med. I'm sure he knows what I'm talking about with the herion reference.
