upstairs shower - low pressure on hot water
Please help, i am new to plumbing...
We have a 14 year old house in Michigan, we've lived here for 7 years.
The master bathroom shower (shower only, no tub) has a single handle control that is brand new (the handle itself).
When the water is turned on cold it runs just fine, as it is turned to hot the pressure slowly decreases until it just trickles (when it is turned all the way hot).
The master bathroom sink works fine, as well as the larger upstairs bathroom shower and sinks.
Any ideas how i can fix this -- preferably without replacing the valve assembly? If i need to take the valve assembly apart, i would need at least a pointer to some info on how to do that--a hammer is probably not the best way to fix this, right?
Any help at all would be appreciated!

Just in case it is needed, here is a picture of the assembly behind the fawcett handle:
