Hi I hope I can get some advice here from people with more knowledge and experience than myself. My friend is in her early sixties with MS and has taken to her bed. She's sleeping (according to her) 23 and a half hours a day because she says she's happiest when she's unconscious. She's aided in this by a steady intake of Tramadol but nothing else, she's stopped eating and even getting up to make tea.
Her daughter is at her wits end and despite my best efforts to reason with my friend over the phone (she lives nearly 300 miles away) I can't seem to get through to her.
I'm open to any advice because she seems determined to sleep the rest of her life away while starving herself to death and I'm not going to let that happen.
To be clear this is a recent occurrence, I visited her last year twice and she was fine, had her out to the pub on her birthday.
