How do I find a Dr and hospice facility who will help me do VSED?

[WearyWanderer]

I waited too long and now I need to do VSED but the doctors don't believe my prognosis is progressive.

According to online, you don't have to be terminal to qualify for VSED.

Theoretically, this should mean I could still find pro choice doctor and hospice/assisted living facility who would allow me to carry it out.

Christina Symanski was able to do it but she had support and a lawyers guidance and her diagnosis could be considered eventually terminal.

Technically, mine is too but I don't have proof on paper.

It is however, a severe spinal cord injury with compression and intractable pain (none of this shows on imaging )

I was supposed to be gone by now but I was stupid and didn't act in time and also had barriers in attaining my preferred method. The living place I am at right now is religious and so would never approve this even though my recent drastic decline is partly their fault.

Please please please, if anyone here knows of pro choice doctors or volunteers who help with things like Pegasos and Exit International, can you message me?

I should never have waited I knew it could always get worse and now I'm even weaker and sicker I should have looked into everything deeper and more before it got to where it was but I also didn't have the energy

Technically you don't need doctor or anyone for that matter for VSED. I'm starting vsed on my own tomorrow morning and estimate with my poor health that I can take my pills and overload my body for it to fail in a week or so. I hardly eat anyway due to medical issues and have things ready to counter the dehydration part.

I picked vsed because its harder for anyone to really notice its going on and my death will be attributed to my health conditions.

Bro that's a hard way to go

My living situation and level of disability greatly complicates things but I am thinking of consulting w a lawyer it's just that now I'm so sick I have a plethora of health issues to address that prevent me from even making phone calls

I know some people have done hunger strikes or VSED on their own and the like but apparently it can cause dysuria from the kidney damage which I'm sure is pretty painful along with "agitation, weakness, risk of falls and hallucinations."


I'm really SOL as far as any method tbh

I hope you have pain meds on hand and that your process is going smoothly so far It seems extremely difficult to do on your own but not impossible

I'm in similar situation. In 2 years my health went from pretty much fine to almost fully disabled. Texting is very difficult and trying to gather energy for phone calls when you are usually stuck waiting for hours is out of the question. My organs are slowly being eaten by my immune system and partially paralyzed where I hardly eat at all and if I do I get very sick.

I've done long fasts before. Longest was 6 days and can handle that part fairly easily. It's more the fluid intake that's hard since even taking small sips by accident can set you back a day. I don't have any pain medications. In my state even major surgeries you only get 3 days of pain meds and are told to watch a movie or listen to music to cope afterwards. I do have muscle relaxers that I've soft overdosed on to see if I'd get sick or not and plan on using them in the end. They are like taking shrooms without the feeling of being poisoned and will induce a coma when taking a full overdose, I was hoping my doctor would fill an anti neausa med but....there are other options.

I've not eaten in 3 days and havnt drank anything for almost 2 days. This morning mouth is very very dry but at least no headache, just groggy. I almost can't even muster the energy to go through this process.

Sn ?

Don't live alone and don't open my own packages :((( Also feels too unreliable to me as someone with certain health issues that greatly complicate things

You Registered in 2019. Were you not suicidal then? Wasn't N available then?

Not sure how this is helpful or relevant to the current thread. You can stop replying now, thanks

Don't have to be a dick about it but ok no worries

I remember @WearyWanderer . This person is suffering unimaginably as some of us are. calling someone names that is in extreme torture is really evil.

 

[DreamEnd]

Well I'm only a dick if someone's a dick to me

Ok well I'm sorry if it seemed that way I could have probably worded it better. I didn't mean to be rude it I was just legitimately curious.

Please don't get into this. Everyone here is suffering that's not a pass to be mean. Especially when I wasn't mean to him I was curious.

Thanks for your supportive post reactions over the years I've been here, pthn, it really means a lot to know there's people out there who understand. Heartbreaking, too and I wish you didn't but I appreciate your support

And it's alright, I'm just gonna stop replying to them now, it looks like they're baiting for reactions based on other posts tbqh

Pretty sure he wasn't trying to attack you. That formulation might have been not well worded/too straight forward, but I'm confident he's not baiting anyone.
