This is exactly my experience with my dad - his hospice at home nurse told me that once the syringe driver is in place it’s the beginning of the end - he died peacefully less than 24 hours later.When I wrote this there were comments saying people have friends/family that had syringe drivers for years but they’re missing the point - they were not EOL. Syringe drivers used in EOL are due to pain, agitation, anxiety etc not being controlled with oral or injectable meds. Saying this I still get mind fucked when u then see her pissing about in a sainsburys wheelchair and stuffing her face at family get togethers standing up and posing with no issues - nothing ever makes sense.
I stopped following her months ago and occasionally dip in to have a nosy on her posts and follow this page. I deal with chronic pain that has driven me to taking an overdose 4 years ago when I couldn’t cope with the pain any longer, I have to use a wheelchair and aids to get about and NNL really effected me numerous times with her go grab life and how she said she was in terrible pain yet couple of hours later she’d be out at an expensive restaurant etc it made me feel like I was a failure, like something is wrong with me not being able to switch my pain on and off like that and for my own sanity I stopped following her. Regardless of her antics I am pleased she’s stopped posting and with the syringe driver in place she’ll have a peaceful passing with her family by her side
I thinkit’s so sad that she had such a huge platform that she could have used to help others but the only person she was intent on helping was herself and sadly that will be her legacy
i reckon she just put him on to announce when she’s passed he’s not at all interested in selling his soul to gymwear or deodorant companies otherwise he would have joined her in her adverts many months ago
Sorry but you don't no this.
You don't no what he stance is now. Of course she has t "quite said.
Stopping treatment can mean all sorts. And it can last for longer that you mention.
Just like palliative can be years.
And yes my friend was terminal and had to have a syringe drive because he reacted so severely to the chemo he just could not orally take it in. And needed the medication badly. So he went on one. Still here.still palliative.still terminal. Has been at what we all thought eol
bleeping twice and pulled through.and it's been horrific both times!
Stopping active treatment can mean many things to the individual.
Also another lady was on eol driver. Driver came out she was going for another 129 days before die in the end. She needed 24hour medication though,hence the driver for a time.
A driver is a scary thing. And people saying it means eol fuels that fear. When actually being put on a driver doesn't always mean your going to die. It's for consistent medication over 24hours. So is incredibly helpful.expecially when people are anxious,weaker etc. It's also incredibly helpful for getting people home. Instead of in and out of hospital. Some people can be incredibly hard for managing pain, getting them on an even keel when they are up and down healthwise is hard. And them being in and out of the hospital setting just becomes distressing. And makes the whole illness feel worse. A driver keeps them stable.gets them home.
It's one of the most commonly asked ,and biggest worries for people so let's not fuel that.
Of course It could well be for nn.
But people have examples of otherwise.
