I just got discharged from the hospital and had severe sepsis from inflamed bursa in my right knee. Almost died in the ICU and was hallucinating because of the fever and pain. I'm so grateful to be alive
@@bronxbully6261 oh, wow thanks for asking…He has been released from the hospital, but he has to go back twice a week to have his blood checked and receive antibiotics that are injected into his blood stream…he is still sore, but alive and grateful🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
@@nitadaja great my girlfriend died of septic shock not being on top of things she fainted 2 weeks prior I dont know what tests they ran or didnt she left the hospital after fainting at work 2 weeks later shes in the icu on a ventilator her family pulled the plug after a week she was about to inherit 500 thousand but she had a alchol problem her grandmother said the infection came from a condom inside her 6 months from a rape the doctors told me she had covid psemonia I dont gey none of the money because we wasnt married now iam here in debt because I looked out for her I guess lesson learnt
Sending prayers to everyone here. I was diagnosed with sepsis in the beginning of 2020, right before the pandemic. It was due to a kidney stone. Before that I had never heard of sepsis. Like many, I spent a week in ICU. I had to learn how to walk again, how to care for myself, everything. Even to this day hearing the word sepsis at times gets me emotional because it was the worst and scariest feeling I've ever experienced. When the doc told me I may not make it, I pleaded with God to keep me here. I was told that because I had to get surgery and I had to depend on oxygen all while on Propofol. Please remember to be grateful. Be thankful. And do not take life for granted.
My father was diagnosed today at the hospital thank goodness they figured it out. He's been so sick and his doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong.
I had sepsis July 2022 I had seizures was unconscious, was put on life support had strokes infection settled in 2 places in my heart! IM THANKFUL LORD YOU SPARED MY LIFE I SAW JESUS DURING THIS TIME I WAS IN HOSPITAL HE LET ME KNOW HES IN CONTROL AND MY TIME WASNT YET! ALL GLORY AND PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH GOD JESUS CHRIST OF NAZERETH AMEN 🙏✝️🕊️ GOD IS ALWAYS SO GOOD!
I tap into your testimony. My boyfriend is currently going through it. I am convinced that not only will he meet Jesus again during this period, but he will be also healed completely in Jesus name. I’d be back here to give my testimony 🥰
Approximately 2 year’s ago,i wound up going into septic shock as a result of colon failure,when i first started noticing some discomfort in my right side it seemed relatively mild at first so i just thought I was getting constipated again because I’ve always had problems with that. But within about 30 minutes i realized that i was feeling more sick than i could ever remember feeling before so my mom took me to the urgent care clinic so that i could get checked out ( this situation happened during the pandemic so it was better to avoid the er if you could) Anyway,long story short,when the doctor at the clinic couldn’t get a blood pressure reading he insisted on calling for an ambulance and rushing me straight to the ER! Later on,the doctor told my parents that I came within 2 hours of not surviving. You know how you feel and you know when something’s wrong,i had never heard of sepsis before but i new something was wrong because i had never felt so sick in my entire life.If you think something’s wrong,speak up,it could possibly save your life,I know it did mine.
I’m doing good all thing’s considered. Except for 2 minor issues with 1 CNA flat out refusing to spoon feed me (i couldn’t feed myself at the time because I had become temporarily paralyzed as a result of the sepsis poisoning) and another CNA who although she fed me she acted all put out about it,the medical staff at the hospital we’re great! In regard’s to the inpatient rehab center,the therapy staff were really helpful and kind and supportive,but as far as the nursing and CNA staff,well let’s just say that there was something to be desired in regards to how i was treated a lot of the time and leave it at that okay?
@@marycanary-We have had that happen with some of our family members that had to be in the hospital. Some CNAs will just not feed the patients. We had to have a family member go to the hospital for meals to make sure our loved ones ate. Even when my Grandfather had a stroke & could not hold the utensiles.
My mom would always stay with me until after lunch but after the second incident,my started coming over to the hospital at dinner time and spoon fed me himself.
In October 2022 I was in a nursing home recovering from a stroke when I developed pneumonia, which went untreated until one night the graveyard shift nurse didn't like the way I was acting -- I had a fever, was confused, and coughing and vomiting -- and she called 911. I was rushed to the hospital and admitted to the ICU with a dangerously low blood pressure. I was given drugs for the infection and drugs to raise the BP and curiously, I remember NOTHING about the paramedics, the ambulance ride or anything associated with it. Later I was told I had septic shock. Years ago post-hysterectomy my grandmother who I never knew died of sepsis. I am 67 and was 66 then.
Sepsis happens when you have low immunity, it isn't just an infection. And after Sepsis your immunity gets even lower. Survivors need to change their lifestyle and eating habits! The long-term survival is 60% in 5 years probably because most don't change their life-style and eating habits after Sepsis. They're in risk in the first 5 years after Sepsis, so they need to do something... The minimum they should do is starting exercising(It decreases inflammation), taking vitamin D3(At least 5,000 UI; To improve their weakened immune system) and vitamin K2(The MK7 type; 100mcg) and stopping eating sugar. They need fasting(18 hours minimum, for autophagy) to clean up damaged protein, which can cause chronic inflammation... Sauna is very important for chronic inflammation. They need to eat antimicrobial foods as well, like ginger, garlic and lemon, since their immunity gets very low after Sepsis. Vitamin K2 helps for the intracellular hypercalcemia that can happen after Sepsis. Also Green Tea, Apple Cider Vinegar and fermented foods are important for them.
@@Man-v2vv2wt2q I do have hypogammaglobulinemia, which is an immune dysfunction. I do take Vitamin D3 and hope I never get it again. I can't really exercise due to the mobility problems with the stroke. I had Covid last fall and was pretty sick, but made it through thank goodness.
@@laurieeyebee Exercising is important for immunity and to decrease inflammation. Sepsis can cause chronic inflammation, which is very dangerous... Sauna is very good for inflammation as well. It also cures depression caused by chronic inflammation. Methyline Blue in Green Tea is good for inflammation. You need at least 5,000 UI of D3, with 100mcg of K2(The MK7 type). Better is 10,000 UI of D3. Vitamin K2 makes the calcium go to bones, and not to to the artheries, which causes heart problems, or inside the cells, which can cause organ failure. To every 10,000 UI of D3 you need 100mcg of K2(MK7).
I had sepsis a few weeks ago. I remember seeing it happen to the girl in the movie The Day After Tomorrow, but never thought it could happen to me. I had severe pain in my legs and couldn’t move them, my dermatologist prescribed me antibiotics but told me I might need to go to the emergency room. I drove my car home and took an Uber (I’m not calling an ambulance, they’re expensive) my driver had to leave his vehicle to tell the emergency room staff I needed help getting out of the vehicle. I was in a wheelchair in the waiting room for SIX HOURS!!!!! Thankfully they did eventually take care of me, fed me, and kept me overnight. Thankfully I’m ok now
I spent nine days in the hospital 7 of those days was in the icu. I remember I couldn’t hold things in my hands for nothing I would constantly drop things taking my pain meds for my stomach cancer I couldn’t even do that, I lost my memory I was talking about dying often and I fell and couldn’t get back up so they called the ambulance they rushed me because my heart rate was 150 beats per minute way way too fast, my kidneys began to fail I kept slipping in and out of conscious it took them thirty minutes to stabilize me, my breathing was rapid I was wheezing so bad. Carcinoid crisis always developed sepsis in my case
I got a kidney infection that spread to my brain and was told afterward that I had sepsis and that God must have saved me for a reason because I was technically dead; that most people who were in my condition don't come out the same, or don't come out alive. Praise Be To God, I sit here playing with my small grandchildren nine years later!
My Dad NARROWLY beat a November 2019 case of sepsis the Doctor told us round up the family He crashed 2 times and came back My Dad luckily had a STRONG heart He drove himself to the ER I dont how he made it
I almost died with sepsis in 2018 with just a minor UTI symptoms. Few hrs later I had high fever, my body was non stop shivering no matter how many blankets are on me. Doctors said within 24 hrs if you didn’t come it could be fatal or amputation. My body was full of swelling rush including my face. I’m glad I was treated before the worse
Also when sepsis/septic shock kicks in hospitals usually are SUPPOSED to administer antibiotics AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE organ failure kicks in(about a 6 hour window)
The story about the doctor's sister dying after a house fire is so sad. I cannot even imagine living without your twin. I'm really glad at least she survived to live on and help more of us.
I had sepsis/survived septic shock back in 17’. So included was a 9 millimeter kidney stone blocked, UTI(i didnt know i had), I had developed nausea/vomiting, hypothermia(i STILL rest with a heating pad on low), my legs and arms would go completely numb when I tried to sleep(talk about freaked out), could hardly feed myself(all I could manage was tuna in cans), they pumped about 50ish pounds of saline in me I guess to protect the kidneys/organs, my blood pressure was bottoming out like 19/some other number, catheters, ureter stints, kidney stints, I had the most hurtful pains in my chest and head(I heard sepsis can also leave inflammation in your head so maybe that was that) and I could barely tolerate car rides to anywhere feel like I wanted to pass out/was so dizzy.(also please pray for my Mom if you can she’s in CCU as I type this with cellulitis and I pray it doesnt run into sepsis cause I don’t want her to go through the hell that I did. (Thank God he gave me more time to be a Mom and continue raising my kids)
Prayers for you that it doesn't return, & for your mom. Did she make it? I got cellulits from a cat attack, wounds finally healed after 2 1/2 hellish mo's, Jesus got me thru it but it went into my bones & still keeps plaguing me. 🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🕊
I had to be hospitalized and intubated for almost 2 months due to recurrent sepsis. Had cardiac arrest a bunch of times. They kept treating the actual infection and not the cause of it. It kept coming back and the last time it almost killed me. Healthcare should up their game in diagnosis and treatment of sepsis because it’s such a horrible and devastating condition.
I have that SEPSI happens when the body is low in vitamin C, when there is an infection the body USES UP ALL the vitamin C available, and vitamin C intravenously extremely high doses plus vitamin B1 ( thyamine) can treat and even reverse the damage caused in the organs and increases survive rates in ICU patients. Doctors should be aware and have better survive rates doing this line of treatment, especially in SEPSI CHOCK that have very high rates of death
…was in the hospital for almost 30 days with sepsis- first symptom was needing more and more covers over me and still being cold- shivering like crazy- then fever, etc- hospital sent me home first thinking it was a viral infection- went back 2 days later and was admitted- smh. be safe everyone ❤
Im so glad you went back. If it makes you feel better hospitals get charged a HEFTY fine when patients from the ER return within a 30day period. So they will have to pay around $10,000 in fines for that small error. I hope you are doing better now.
I had none of those symptoms but I had Sepsis. I woke up one morning and found it difficult to walk…but since the infection had already started, it clouded my mind. After I sat t down, I could not get back up to go to the bathroom…and I REALLY HAD TO GO BAD. I could not find the strength to stand up, again because my mind was affected. I had an accident in my chair, crawled to the bathroom and called 911. I spent five days in ICU and two weeks in isolation with C. Diff…a HORRIBLE infectious disease…a Superbug. It returned two times, two more hospital stays and after seven months it finally left my body. During the first week I lost 74 lbs…yes that is correct. I ate nothing but kept having diarrhea…the number one symptom of C.Diff. That was eight years ago and I am still affected by the Sepsis.
A month ago I was released from the ICU after spending a week in the hospital from a severe Septic infection in my blood stream. I came very close to dying and I am a very healthy 16 year old male. Who had never been hospitalised before and has zero diseases or health problems. I ended up loosing over half my blood, and had to get a life saving blood transfusion. It has by far been the worst summer of my life!
i had sepsis and went into septic shock in september of 2022 at 23 years old from a UTI and kidney stone. i survived with no kidney damage and only numbness from the right leg down, although i do have some ptsd and post sepsis syndrome. here if anyone ever wants to connect❤
Hey, I am so scared.... I have increased puss cells (wbc) in urine and urine culture said no bacteria but still so much puss cells. I am scared ..I hope this will not turn to sepsis. I cannot sleep now
I’m so sorry to hear about your sepsis shock story. I’m glad you survived. I went into septic shock in Oct of 2012. I spent 2 months on life support. I had to learn how to talk, walk and eat again. I had osyteomyelitis of the c-spine which was left untreated. Doctors thought I just had a stiff neck. Since then I’ve had to live with chronic pain.
@@kimmykimmycocopop1394 i’m so sorry and i’m so glad that you are still here. thank you for sharing your story. i’m currently laying on a heating pad as i have chronic pain now too, it is so exhausting and i completely understand ❤️
@@l_es07072 Thank you for your kind words. I’m here if you ever want to talk or just need some encouragement. I’ve dealt with post sepsis syndrome myself and honestly am still going though it, but it does get better. It helps me to talk about it especially with someone who knows what it’s like. Let me know if you want my email. Take care 🙏🏻
I recently lost my best friend to this...only 26 years old. UTI->kidney infection->sepsis. She was the most beautiful soul. I'm so happy to see all these stories of survivors! I saw all the pain she went through and wouldn't wish that suffering on anybody. Sorry you had to deal with that, but glad you came out of it.
My uncle had leukemia and was hospitalized with COVID and later Sepsis. He passed away one month after spending a week in ICU. That was over a year ago..
Both my dad and his younger brother died from sepsis. My dad had hip surgery and developed septicemia. He died 3 weeks later in a hospital hooked up to IVs of every kind of antibiotic out there. Almost exactly 10 months later, his younger brother had routine surgery and developed septicemia/sepsis and died alittle over a week later. This was in 2015 btw

@@havanadaurcy1321 Sorry for your loss. Adiction isn't an easy thing to overcome. My mother had Sepsis a month ago, from kidney stones. Thank God only an antibiotic stopped it, before it turning into Septic Shock. Her blood sugar is 115, which is pre diabetes, it might be one of the causes, along with too much stress she was going through, which lowered her immunity, and lack of exercise. If she went to bed that night instead of going to the hospital, maybe she wouldn't have made it. She was obviously tired and thought that anti-fever medication was enough... I had no idea Sepsis was a thing. It should be more known.
I have actually had sepsis three times. The first time was when my gallbladder was literally rotting and I ended up with it then. The second time was in 2019, I ended up in intensive care with pneumonia, I was discharged and then around 3 months later, I was in a shop and kept dropping things, the shop keeper said he thought I needed an ambulance. I said no but he called one anyway. I was rushed in as my heart was not good. I ended up again in intensive care, this was the worst time. I ended up having blood transfusions and was extremely unwell. I remember in the emergency department the doctor said ‘if you don’t get treatment, you aren’t going to survive’. I asked her what happened then as I had no memory and she said that I was apparently terrified. It’s an awful illness and nearly robbed my little boy of his Mummy. Please seek medical advice if you have any of the symptoms. I remember feeling extremely weak to the point of literal collapse
I can relate to this video thought I was just suffering from a simple infection until waking up in the intensive care unit where I spent 3.5 weeks. Then a further 1.5 weeks in a side ward before being discharged. My heart stopped twice needing 2 cycles of CPR and adrenaline. My kidneys stopped working and I was put on dialysis. My lungs got congested and got stem cell treatment and making matters worse they found my gallbladder had stones and they put in a drain. Recovering slowly at home and lucky to still be alive and living. My wife broke her heart unsure if I'd make it and visited the hospital with my parents twice per day. Please listen and never take your health for granted!

I had a pre cancerous mass that ate a large necrotic hole on the entire back side of my left leg. I went to St. Luke’s and St. Elizabeth’s Hospital’s many times. They kicked me out every time. Bc it was one of their surgeons Dr. Leo Sullivan who ignored the sepsis and necrosis. My ex sister dragged me out of my apartment against my will to St. Luke’s where she still is an RN, off duty, she lied to her coworkers told them I was faking it. I was left for dead on the er psych floor. No Doctors, no nurses, running a 105 fever screaming in agony for 10 hours until my heart stopped! Rushed to surgery after I had a heart beat. I had septicemia for 2 1/2 months. She tried coming to my room after surgery to finish what she had started. She wanted me dead. My sister’s RH, LB and SR. Have gaslight my own mother not to ever talk to me again. Now I have TB, CHF and SCC. I knew I had sepsis and the medical staff at MVHS. Don’t care about patients lives.
Thank you for giving the name of the Doctor. I do not know who was my Fathers Doctor. They changed names and titles more than every 8 hours. I was his DPOA and they never returned not 1 phone call. Not 1. I had to be the one to tell my Dad that God was calling him home. He was so scared but most of all; the worst of all was he suffered. A scream that wakes me up every night in a cold sweat. No on and I mean no one should have to go through that type of Hell.
@@Angeleys2 I am so sorry for what they did to your father and you and your family. Doctors took an oath to “ Do No Harm”. They actually get away with murder . I recently was septic a few times and I was told by many people at the hospital “ my life doesn’t matter “. I am disabled, on Medicare and Medicaid, very low income, with no family due to them leaving me for dead. My PTSD and anxiety, night terrors, flash backs happen all the time. I have been fighting for my life and being discarded like trash is a beyond horrible feeling. I am so sorry for your loss.
I just received this today. If you want to share with me the details of your life know sometimes it helps to have someone listen. Remember do not carry Hatred; God will take care of the rest
Thank you for sharing. It does seem that when you get this, they come with the faking stories. Call you insane. ...have the shrink come into see you all the while ignoring what the TRUTH is. Yeah I'm sorry this happened. I believe I have a benigh tumor effecting my vision. They won't run a scan and I'm covered. Bunch of hair fell out. They dgaf all these ppl get into this to meet partners at work. Pretty much!!!!
My daughter died from sepsis. She was 55 . She had a UTI , that rapidly changed into sepsis, in a week in icu and she was gone. Horrible,Covid was on and I couldn’t go in! 😢
Folks please, keep in mind. When you've had all kinds of symptoms, and after going to multiple HOSPITALS, URGENT CARE, ER, PLEASE KEEP TRACK OF ALL OF THOSE PLACES, NAMES, ADDRESSES, PHONE NUMBERS AS WELL, AS GET A COPY OF YOUR RECORDS ALL TEST THEY PERFORMED, WHILE AT THESE PLACES. AND ONCE, YOU'RE DIAGNOSED WITH A CAUSE, GO GET AN ATTORNEY AND HIT EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!!!! CAUSE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON ITTTTT! AN MANY HOSPITALS AND URGENT CARE, AND ER DEPARTMENT ARE JUST PASSING FOLKS AROUND INSTEAD OF DIAGNOSING AND TREATING! HOPE THIS HELPS MANY, I WORK IN HEALTHCARE, AND ITS TRULY SAD, THEY OUT THERE PLAYING WITH FOLKS AND THEIR FAMILY'S LIVES. ITS SICKENING!!!!
John K I hope you are still alive. Please have you or someone in your family get an attorney!!!! I did. Doctors who ignore; will not treat or are ignorant or arrogant should go to Jail. Do not pass Go. They have created a Monopoly on taking money instead of taking care of people. As an important step in becoming a doctor, medical students must take the Hippocratic Oath. And one of the promises within that oath is "first, do no harm" I am doing this for My Father!!! RIP
I'm back in the hospital for the 3rd sepsis in 18 months, and the pain is just out of this world, I can't move at all and have so high fever that I just feel confused most of the time. It doesn't make it easier to know it's my own fault for using opioids IV. All the time combined I have been hospitalized 3 months and counting.
My mom died on 1/06/22 from Sepsis. She had swelling in the legs and the swelling from fluid moved throughout her body. She drowned in this fluid and the Cardiologist and other specialist…didn’t know what was wrong with her.
My wife is in the hospital for a week unresponsive from septis shock in the icu grandma said she been had it but never told me she didnt wanna tell me and said if she makes it shes gonna be mad she told me but shes been unresponsive since tuesday

I had sepsis recently due to an abscess that I left because of work. I was so so sick. It’s sobering knowing that I could’ve died. I had around 50g of total antibiotics over the course of 2 weeks. The abscess is still healing but I feel much better now, still recovering.

I had sepsis in 2017. I also thought I had the flu, started with joint pain and fever that just kept going up despite OTC meds. By the time I went to the ER, heart rate was very elevated and my BP was 88 over 44. Spent three days in intensive care and was a solid month before I was strong enough to even walk across the room again.
I have had sepsis 4 differend times in the last 2 years and had to spend time in the hospital all put together close to 3 months. I'm panicking a little bit now because today suddenly I started to feel the same familiar symptoms I had the last times. If it still get's worse in the morning i'll have to go to hospital to check this out again.

My husband survived septic shock three times! The last time his bp was 30/20. He was recovering from severe aortic dissection which survivors are rare with that condition too but Jesus healed him of all of it so it infuriates me when people say God and Jesus are fairytales because I know better!
@@Noname11364 It’s rare or so all these doctors tell me. I told my pain doctor about my husband and he stopped in mid sentence and turned and said I’m sorry for your loss! I said no loss that’s why I now need you. All that sitting or trying to sleep in emergency waiting rooms etc tore my back up! He just had this look of shock and he said I have seen a lot of dissection patients come in but none left alive. I said well even at Duke my husband was first to leave alive. They made a big deal over him. The truth is he should be dead! I have met people who survived but it was caught early before it dissected. There are a few people I met on FB who like my husband survived but like him they were in hospital at least a year. Life support etc. I’m happy your Mom is doing good.
Always advocate for your health regardless if you think it's a severe condition or not. You cannot replace yourself if something serious happens. Better to go in for care than to not go. The US healthcare system should not make people pick and choose whether or not they need medical help!
Sepsis took away my love. ❤My best friend. She was home without help 5days. Unfortunately i was not in there to help her, make a call to emergency and get help. Nobody listened to me. I just knew something was not right. She was taken to emergency room on day 6 of her symptoms. Lost conscious in the ambulance. Her organs already failed , some fully, some 50%. Ended on icu, connected to a breathing tube. She passed the same day . I believe and i know she still would be with us, if got her to the hospital earlier. It hurts me so much she was suffering. What i dont understand, is how come the nurse that was twice to check on her in the house did not notice anything? What was wrong with this nurse? I believe she is not quallified or should not bedoing her job. How could she missed my friend being so sick and call an ambulance for her? Whats wrong with her? She just let my friend died pretty much at home. She was a hospice nurse.
She's definitely lucky to be alive I've been there same diagnosis and I did the same thing I pushed through I figured I'd be okay but when I got to the hospital and they tested me I was severely anemic I had sepsis and endocarditis which is a heart valve infection and I remember before I went to the hospital I was sitting here like okay my heart really hurts from Simply walking to the bathroom so I had two choices and I was considering the other choice which would have been just going to sleep and just hoping that I would have been better the next day but when I got there I did mention that to the doctor they said that I wouldn't have had another day in me if I would have just chosen to go to sleep and he was most definitely right because the next morning after they had admitted me to the hospital I woke up nibbled my breakfast there and then suddenly bam I had a stroke maybe 15 to 20 minutes after waking up and ordering breakfast. If I wouldn't have called the ambulance when I did I would have woken up the next day to an empty house add more minutes upon waking up would have had a stroke and I would have been here all alone so my family would have probably returned to my dead body. I'm glad I got help when I did and I'm glad Karen got help when she did because sepsis is one of the number one killers.
I was diagnosed with Sepsis at Beaumont, and Doctors never told me, and how i found out was My Health Chart, online, So My new Doctor, told me i have nothing to worry about cause i was diagnosed in 2017, she told me id already be dead, Thanks Beaumont doctors for not letting me know this in 2017, i wish i could sue, cause it could have killed me any legal advice as to what i should do, am i still at risk, please Doctor speak up..
Two injections of thiamine helped a lot with the confusion, two transfusions, pulled 600 cc of fluid off of each lung. Several infections just caught up with me, c diff, uti, anemia, went into new onset afib and left work, never came back.
Interesting. I had uncontrollable chills and shaking last month. Jumped in the shower for 15 minutes with no change in temperature. Got out of the shower and called an ambulance. Finally, when I got to the ER I was finally warming up. They saw that I had a kidney infection in my urine sample and gave me antibiotics and sent me home, no vitamin C or Thiamine. I've been fine since but I was pretty damn sure I was dying! I'm still doing follow ups as my bloodwork keeps coming back as my body fighting an infection so they may admit me into the hospital soon and give me some stronger antibiotics over IV. I'm hoping all is well though for my next follow up next week!
I remember being told in November 2016 that i would not have made it to Christmas 2016 if i'd not been diagnosed with Sepsis. I've been on longterm antibiotic therapy and have caught every infection going. I recover from one and catch another less than a month later and the only time I'm not sick is in the summer, which in the UK is 2 months in the year, rest of the time I'm always recovering from something, then get something else. I had a UTI which kept coming back for 5 years. I was then told eventually by a private urologist that it had not actually been treated but was laying dormant in my body for that amount of time, and coming out whenever I felt like it. Would anybody on here be able to tell me that if your immune system is under strain for that long, whether it can cause your immune system to then be suppressed? I definitely have a weakened immune system since then but since it's never been recognised on the NHS and cannot afford to go private I've never had answers and spend my life mostly being ill with recurring infections. I'd like to add that before that UTI that wasn't treated properly, i was very healthy and rarely got ill.
@@bronxbully6261 Also I am very sorry to hear about your loss, I couldn't even begin to understand your pain. However I never thought I was septic, and sepsis can easily be overlooked because it mimics others symptoms of Covid or the flu. Once you go into septic shock there is nothing that can be done. Please be well, and take care.
@@Cnightz yeah she was just fine the night before next day talked to her for 1 to 5oclock on the phone at 6 oclock she said she cant breath and keep coughing those were her last words to me to this day iam thinking what went wrong in only one hour
@@bronxbully6261 I'm sorry, she must have been ill for a short time thinking it was the common cold, or flu perhaps even Covid. Make no mistake it absolutely feels like the Common Cold, the Flu and Covid. I knew something was very wrong when I was laying down for 3 hours on my bed, no movement what so ever. My breathing was if I ran up the stairs 5 times, my chest burned and my heart my beating very hard and fast. I leaned over picked up my phone and checked my HR and 02% at 3 hours rest there should have been no reason for my body to have been that exerted. My hesrt rate was 109 and my 02% showed 90%. I went to the ER later that morning. It brings me regret to say she must have been trying to tough it out like I was. Once your body goes into septic shock you only have hours to live, 12 at the most. That is how deadly sepsis is. The lactate becomes elevated in your blood, making blood acidic, This happens when the liver fails doing its job. The liver is supposed to break down the lactate. When it doesn't it travels to your kidneys and everywhere else inside. It then causes oxygen starvation to your tissues that damage the organs (heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, brain, GI tract) When that happens that is when you start breathing hard, your lungs turn anaerobic creating more lactate trying to give more oxygen to the body. If its bad enough the body gets little oxygen and CO2 you try to breath out doesn't get out because of the shallow breaths which then makes you hypoxic. Its happens very fast and you need to act fast to survive. When I was admitted my lactate levels were 2.6 that night it went up to 4.9 I felt the same very ill when I came in. Its very hard to tell where you are at in the stages. I had no idea. Even if they somehow were able to clear the sepsis from the blood, damage to the organs has already happened. There is no surviving septic shock. We can only learn about the stages, how to recognize them and act very fast. Sepsis can come from Bacterial infections, Fungal infections and parasitic infections. All can be cured with medication however there is no cure or current treatments for viral sepsis. All they can give you is steroids like dexamethasone. God be with you, stay strong.
@@Cnightz yeah she messed up big time I love her but she talked a lot but when it came to important stuff its funny how she would bring it up late or after the fact her grandmother said she was sick all morning while on the phone with me I dont know how true that it because she wasnt coughing or short of breath on the phone with me while she was in the icu she said it came from a tapon being stuck in her from a rape than when she passed away she said it was from a whole comdom being inside her for 6 months that disentegrated that was so far up her vagina it indicated rape i dont know what to believe i dont trust the grandmother because she said my wife asked her for help and she told her she look pretty when she sick i feel if I was with her it would have been a different outcome iam a very serious person and assertive her grandmother said she was screaming in pain and my wife had to go to hospital by herself after asking her to go with her i really dont believe thst condom story i feel her gma is trying to make her look bad even during death
I'm not trying to ignore the symptoms but I'm tired of the hospital being like you've been here a couple times already can we help you with something yeah I have chronic health problems I can't help that I'm a mess I'm going in today I'm pretty sure I have sepsis or I'm developing it I've been like 96.9° all night long roughly and lower so horrible I'm pregnant I have a tooth infection I think that has led to my head and bloodstream it's swollen my head is swollen I can barely move
I had a bad case of pneumonia that caused sepsis. I was so close to just pushing through the pain but after it felt like I was going to pass out and die i decided to go to the emergency room. Luckily i made the right decision
Pain when i eat hot or even warm foods even cold foods or going outside in the cooler weather brings on a tooth ache that can last up to a hour or so. xrays show nothing but cavities was filled a year ago . What can i do to get these pulled and and get some dentures in the top. They need to get out so i can live without this pain every time i eat.
My daughter insisted I go to hospital... they admitted me straight away. They could not get an iv. My veins collapsed. We prayed. They found one angel who was the best at getting an impossible line. I needed 5 ivs .Emergency surgery and ICU. They woke me. I thought I must be dead because im finally no longer i pain. The Surgeon said had I not gone in I Would have died and not seen tomorrow. You fool yourself...I'm fine...thinking as you're shivering uncontrollably. 😢
I had this in my throat last year and I’ve had malaria before and nothing has ever made me feel as sick and weak as sepsis. I legit thought I was going to die and couldn’t put a thing in my mouth for 3 days
Sepsis happens when you have low immunity, it isn't just an infection. And after Sepsis their immunity gets even lower. Survivors need to change their lifestyle and eating habits! The long-term survival is 60% in 5 years probably because most don't change their life-style and eating habits after Sepsis. They're in risk in the first 5 years after Sepsis, so they need to do something... The minimum they should do is starting exercising(It decreases inflammation), taking vitamin D3(At least 5,000 UI; To improve their weakened immune system) and vitamin K2(The MK7 type; 100mcg) and stopping eating sugar. They need fasting(18 hours minimum, for autophagy) to clean up damaged protein, which can cause chronic inflammation... And to eat antimicrobial foods as well, like ginger, garlic and lemon, since their immunity gets very low after Sepsis. Vitamin K2 helps for the intracellular hypercalcemia that can happen after Sepsis. Also Green Tea, Apple Cider Vinegar and fermented foods are important for them.
I almost got sepsis from eating allergenic catfish accidentally. Keenly, this is a life-threatening attack to the whole bloodstream by a foreign invader, caused by an immune system that overreacts to a localized infection and just explodes into a "cytokine storm" that shuts down your organs seriously (including your heart, lungs, liver, kidneys) and drops your blood pressure dangerously low. The result is almost like you being choked. Without emergency treatment in about 4 to 10 minutes, death results from multiorgan failure.
I have a tooth absces and getting shivers feeling unwell hot and cold feeling sicky haven't eating anything my heartrate self check at 108 beats per minute not able to move much, swollen face, confusion etc my urine alot darker than normal,plus I'm a type 1 diabetic and have heart disease was in hospital during the week but sent me home but was at the dentist couldn't remove affected tooth cause of my health conditions but I think I'm starting to get the signs of septis and don't want to go back into hospital cause they will tell me they can't do anything like they only gave me pain relief last time
Bro how are you now..whats your age..i have infection in my one teeth i am 18 year old and my dentist gave me medicine for a week...should i also worry...

@@swaxy6274 Hey! It took me longer than usual to recover, my case was severe, I had to be on 5 different antibiotics until they figured it out. I feel much better now! Thank you for asking.
my mom..... who was awfully sick.... Got me worried so I took like time to google search, since she doesnt wanna go to hospital.... -_- We found out that it was a bacteria that got her into a state of her leg getting weird boils and inflames hot sensation.... she kept on shivering and she finally took those antibiotic capsules , they symptoms went away. Lol saved us some money but I felt scared for her life after google said that it reuires medical attention and to be rushed in ER!

But why my friend grandpa never had tooth check up for 40 years... Start from 15 years old.. his tooth were all rotten ... He went check up after 40 years past... Now he is ok... Tooth decay for 40 years? Not only him i have seen many people similar to my friend grandpa in my place ... Still no one dies from tooth infection....
Rotting and infection are different. If the teeth are rotten it is from cavities and tartar buildup, if it is infection, there will be discharge pain and swelling from internally (gums).
Yea they do now. I know of a lady that let her tooth go for too long, she ended up with flesh-eating disease. They couldn't save her, she died so quickly.😢😭😭

@@bronxbully6261 wow I am so sorry your girlfriend went through that and that you went through this after taking care of her !
Sending prayers to everyone here. I was diagnosed with sepsis in the beginning of 2020, right before the pandemic. It was due to a kidney stone. Before that I had never heard of sepsis. Like many, I spent a week in ICU. I had to learn how to walk again, how to care for myself, everything. Even to this day hearing the word sepsis at times gets me emotional because it was the worst and scariest feeling I've ever experienced. When the doc told me I may not make it, I pleaded with God to keep me here. I was told that because I had to get surgery and I had to depend on oxygen all while on Propofol. Please remember to be grateful. Be thankful. And do not take life for granted.
I'm grateful and very happy for you, may god bless you❤
May lord ram bless
My father was diagnosed today at the hospital thank goodness they figured it out. He's been so sick and his doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Hello, Can we get a update... How is your father?
How did they figure it out?

I tap into your testimony. My boyfriend is currently going through it. I am convinced that not only will he meet Jesus again during this period, but he will be also healed completely in Jesus name.
I’d be back here to give my testimony 🥰
Approximately 2 year’s ago,i wound up going into septic shock as a result of colon failure,when i first started noticing some discomfort in my right side it seemed relatively mild at first so i just thought I was getting constipated again because I’ve always had problems with that. But within about 30 minutes i realized that i was feeling more sick than i could ever remember feeling before so my mom took me to the urgent care clinic so that i could get checked out ( this situation happened during the pandemic so it was better to avoid the er if you could) Anyway,long story short,when the doctor at the clinic couldn’t get a blood pressure reading he insisted on calling for an ambulance and rushing me straight to the ER! Later on,the doctor told my parents that I came within 2 hours of not surviving.
You know how you feel and you know when something’s wrong,i had never heard of sepsis before but i new something was wrong because i had never felt so sick in my entire life.If you think something’s wrong,speak up,it could possibly save your life,I know it did mine.
Wow praise God you alive, how are you doing now and how did they treat you?
I’m doing good all thing’s considered. Except for 2 minor issues with 1 CNA flat out refusing to spoon feed me (i couldn’t feed myself at the time because I had become temporarily paralyzed as a result of the sepsis poisoning) and another CNA who although she fed me she acted all put out about it,the medical staff at the hospital we’re great! In regard’s to the inpatient rehab center,the therapy staff were really helpful and kind and supportive,but as far as the nursing and CNA staff,well let’s just say that there was something to be desired in regards to how i was treated a lot of the time and leave it at that okay?
@@marycanary-We have had that happen with some of our family members that had to be in the hospital. Some CNAs will just not feed the patients. We had to have a family member go to the hospital for meals to make sure our loved ones ate. Even when my Grandfather had a stroke & could not hold the utensiles.
My mom would always stay with me until after lunch but after the second incident,my started coming over to the hospital at dinner time and spoon fed me himself.
@@marycanary- That's great you had help.
In October 2022 I was in a nursing home recovering from a stroke when I developed pneumonia, which went untreated until one night the graveyard shift nurse didn't like the way I was acting -- I had a fever, was confused, and coughing and vomiting -- and she called 911. I was rushed to the hospital and admitted to the ICU with a dangerously low blood pressure. I was given drugs for the infection and drugs to raise the BP and curiously, I remember NOTHING about the paramedics, the ambulance ride or anything associated with it. Later I was told I had septic shock. Years ago post-hysterectomy my grandmother who I never knew died of sepsis. I am 67 and was 66 then.

@@Man-v2vv2wt2q I do have hypogammaglobulinemia, which is an immune dysfunction. I do take Vitamin D3 and hope I never get it again. I can't really exercise due to the mobility problems with the stroke. I had Covid last fall and was pretty sick, but made it through thank goodness.
@@laurieeyebee Exercising is important for immunity and to decrease inflammation. Sepsis can cause chronic inflammation, which is very dangerous... Sauna is very good for inflammation as well. It also cures depression caused by chronic inflammation. Methyline Blue in Green Tea is good for inflammation. You need at least 5,000 UI of D3, with 100mcg of K2(The MK7 type). Better is 10,000 UI of D3. Vitamin K2 makes the calcium go to bones, and not to to the artheries, which causes heart problems, or inside the cells, which can cause organ failure. To every 10,000 UI of D3 you need 100mcg of K2(MK7).
I had sepsis a few weeks ago. I remember seeing it happen to the girl in the movie The Day After Tomorrow, but never thought it could happen to me. I had severe pain in my legs and couldn’t move them, my dermatologist prescribed me antibiotics but told me I might need to go to the emergency room. I drove my car home and took an Uber (I’m not calling an ambulance, they’re expensive) my driver had to leave his vehicle to tell the emergency room staff I needed help getting out of the vehicle. I was in a wheelchair in the waiting room for SIX HOURS!!!!! Thankfully they did eventually take care of me, fed me, and kept me overnight. Thankfully I’m ok now
Recocognize them in a letter. These are Angels
I spent nine days in the hospital 7 of those days was in the icu. I remember I couldn’t hold things in my hands for nothing I would constantly drop things taking my pain meds for my stomach cancer I couldn’t even do that, I lost my memory I was talking about dying often and I fell and couldn’t get back up so they called the ambulance they rushed me because my heart rate was 150 beats per minute way way too fast, my kidneys began to fail I kept slipping in and out of conscious it took them thirty minutes to stabilize me, my breathing was rapid I was wheezing so bad. Carcinoid crisis always developed sepsis in my case
Glad you’re better now scary stuff
I'm glad you're alright
My buddy from work got sepsis. Lost both of his feet, his nose and his hands.
It's extremely painful. I'm glad to be alive.
I got a kidney infection that spread to my brain and was told afterward that I had sepsis and that God must have saved me for a reason because I was technically dead; that most people who were in my condition don't come out the same, or don't come out alive. Praise Be To God, I sit here playing with my small grandchildren nine years later!

I had sepsis/survived septic shock back in 17’. So included was a 9 millimeter kidney stone blocked, UTI(i didnt know i had), I had developed nausea/vomiting, hypothermia(i STILL rest with a heating pad on low), my legs and arms would go completely numb when I tried to sleep(talk about freaked out), could hardly feed myself(all I could manage was tuna in cans), they pumped about 50ish pounds of saline in me I guess to protect the kidneys/organs, my blood pressure was bottoming out like 19/some other number, catheters, ureter stints, kidney stints, I had the most hurtful pains in my chest and head(I heard sepsis can also leave inflammation in your head so maybe that was that) and I could barely tolerate car rides to anywhere feel like I wanted to pass out/was so dizzy.(also please pray for my Mom if you can she’s in CCU as I type this with cellulitis and I pray it doesnt run into sepsis cause I don’t want her to go through the hell that I did.

I had to be hospitalized and intubated for almost 2 months due to recurrent sepsis. Had cardiac arrest a bunch of times. They kept treating the actual infection and not the cause of it. It kept coming back and the last time it almost killed me. Healthcare should up their game in diagnosis and treatment of sepsis because it’s such a horrible and devastating condition.
What did cause the infection?
Did you ever find out what was causing your infection ?
@@EmilyGloeggler7984 they said it was some sort of latent virus that stays dormant in my body and infects me when it gets the opportunity
@@gardensofthegods yes look at the reply above
I have that SEPSI happens when the body is low in vitamin C, when there is an infection the body USES UP ALL the vitamin C available, and vitamin C intravenously extremely high doses plus vitamin B1 ( thyamine) can treat and even reverse the damage caused in the organs and increases survive rates in ICU patients. Doctors should be aware and have better survive rates doing this line of treatment, especially in SEPSI CHOCK that have very high rates of death
…was in the hospital for almost 30 days with sepsis- first symptom was needing more and more covers over me and still being cold- shivering like crazy- then fever, etc- hospital sent me home first thinking it was a viral infection- went back 2 days later and was admitted- smh. be safe everyone ❤
Im so glad you went back. If it makes you feel better hospitals get charged a HEFTY fine when patients from the ER return within a 30day period. So they will have to pay around $10,000 in fines for that small error. I hope you are doing better now.
How did they diagnosis you and what was the treatment to get rid of it?
@@leemathews7263 …blood work showed it- and several rounds of antibiotics and breathing treatments- it was awful-
I had none of those symptoms but I had Sepsis. I woke up one morning and found it difficult to walk…but since the infection had already started, it clouded my mind. After I sat t down, I could not get back up to go to the bathroom…and I REALLY HAD TO GO BAD. I could not find the strength to stand up, again because my mind was affected. I had an accident in my chair, crawled to the bathroom and called 911. I spent five days in ICU and two weeks in isolation with C. Diff…a HORRIBLE infectious disease…a Superbug.
It returned two times, two more hospital stays and after seven months it finally left my body. During the first week I lost 74 lbs…yes that is correct. I ate nothing but kept having diarrhea…the number one symptom of C.Diff. That was eight years ago and I am still affected by the Sepsis.
A month ago I was released from the ICU after spending a week in the hospital from a severe Septic infection in my blood stream. I came very close to dying and I am a very healthy 16 year old male. Who had never been hospitalised before and has zero diseases or health problems. I ended up loosing over half my blood, and had to get a life saving blood transfusion. It has by far been the worst summer of my life!
i had sepsis and went into septic shock in september of 2022 at 23 years old from a UTI and kidney stone. i survived with no kidney damage and only numbness from the right leg down, although i do have some ptsd and post sepsis syndrome. here if anyone ever wants to connect❤
Hey, I am so scared.... I have increased puss cells (wbc) in urine and urine culture said no bacteria but still so much puss cells. I am scared ..I hope this will not turn to sepsis. I cannot sleep now
I’m so sorry to hear about your sepsis shock story. I’m glad you survived. I went into septic shock in Oct of 2012. I spent 2 months on life support. I had to learn how to talk, walk and eat again. I had osyteomyelitis of the c-spine which was left untreated. Doctors thought I just had a stiff neck. Since then I’ve had to live with chronic pain.
@@kimmykimmycocopop1394 i’m so sorry and i’m so glad that you are still here. thank you for sharing your story. i’m currently laying on a heating pad as i have chronic pain now too, it is so exhausting and i completely understand ❤️
@@l_es07072 Thank you for your kind words. I’m here if you ever want to talk or just need some encouragement. I’ve dealt with post sepsis syndrome myself and honestly am still going though it, but it does get better. It helps me to talk about it especially with someone who knows what it’s like. Let me know if you want my email. Take care 🙏🏻
I recently lost my best friend to this...only 26 years old. UTI->kidney infection->sepsis. She was the most beautiful soul. I'm so happy to see all these stories of survivors! I saw all the pain she went through and wouldn't wish that suffering on anybody. Sorry you had to deal with that, but glad you came out of it.
My uncle had leukemia and was hospitalized with COVID and later Sepsis. He passed away one month after spending a week in ICU. That was over a year ago..
Both my dad and his younger brother died from sepsis. My dad had hip surgery and developed septicemia. He died 3 weeks later in a hospital hooked up to IVs of every kind of antibiotic out there. Almost exactly 10 months later, his younger brother had routine surgery and developed septicemia/sepsis and died alittle over a week later. This was in 2015 btw
Sepsis happens when you have low immunity, it isn't just an infection. And after Sepsis your immunity gets even lower. Survivors need to change their lifestyle and eating habits! The long-term survival is 60% in 5 years probably because most don't change their life-style and eating habits after Sepsis. They're in risk in the first 5 years after Sepsis, so they need to do something... The minimum they should do is starting exercising(It decreases inflammation), taking vitamin D3(At least 5,000 UI; To improve their weakened immune system) and vitamin K2(The MK7 type; 100mcg) and stopping eating sugar. They need fasting(18 hours minimum, for autophagy) to clean up damaged protein, which can cause chronic inflammation... Sauna is very important for chronic inflammation. They need to eat antimicrobial foods as well, like ginger, garlic and lemon, since their immunity gets very low after Sepsis. Vitamin K2 helps for the intracellular hypercalcemia that can happen after Sepsis. Also Green Tea, Apple Cider Vinegar and fermented foods are important for them.
My mother died from it. She had a back complaint but the liver she had was so f'ed from drinking wine nearly every day she was dead if she survived.
@@havanadaurcy1321 Sorry for your loss. Adiction isn't an easy thing to overcome. My mother had Sepsis a month ago, from kidney stones. Thank God only an antibiotic stopped it, before it turning into Septic Shock. Her blood sugar is 115, which is pre diabetes, it might be one of the causes, along with too much stress she was going through, which lowered her immunity, and lack of exercise. If she went to bed that night instead of going to the hospital, maybe she wouldn't have made it. She was obviously tired and thought that anti-fever medication was enough... I had no idea Sepsis was a thing. It should be more known.
I have actually had sepsis three times. The first time was when my gallbladder was literally rotting and I ended up with it then.
The second time was in 2019, I ended up in intensive care with pneumonia, I was discharged and then around 3 months later, I was in a shop and kept dropping things, the shop keeper said he thought I needed an ambulance. I said no but he called one anyway. I was rushed in as my heart was not good. I ended up again in intensive care, this was the worst time. I ended up having blood transfusions and was extremely unwell. I remember in the emergency department the doctor said ‘if you don’t get treatment, you aren’t going to survive’. I asked her what happened then as I had no memory and she said that I was apparently terrified. It’s an awful illness and nearly robbed my little boy of his Mummy. Please seek medical advice if you have any of the symptoms. I remember feeling extremely weak to the point of literal collapse
Just to add I ended up in acute renal failure
So glad you made it.🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🕊❤
My husband died from this a year ago. It was horrible to go through this.
I can relate to this video thought I was just suffering from a simple infection until waking up in the intensive care unit where I spent 3.5 weeks. Then a further 1.5 weeks in a side ward before being discharged. My heart stopped twice needing 2 cycles of CPR and adrenaline. My kidneys stopped working and I was put on dialysis. My lungs got congested and got stem cell treatment and making matters worse they found my gallbladder had stones and they put in a drain. Recovering slowly at home and lucky to still be alive and living. My wife broke her heart unsure if I'd make it and visited the hospital with my parents twice per day. Please listen and never take your health for granted!

I had a pre cancerous mass that ate a large necrotic hole on the entire back side of my left leg. I went to St. Luke’s and St. Elizabeth’s Hospital’s many times. They kicked me out every time. Bc it was one of their surgeons Dr. Leo Sullivan who ignored the sepsis and necrosis. My ex sister dragged me out of my apartment against my will to St. Luke’s where she still is an RN, off duty, she lied to her coworkers told them I was faking it. I was left for dead on the er psych floor. No Doctors, no nurses, running a 105 fever screaming in agony for 10 hours until my heart stopped! Rushed to surgery after I had a heart beat. I had septicemia for 2 1/2 months. She tried coming to my room after surgery to finish what she had started. She wanted me dead. My sister’s RH, LB and SR. Have gaslight my own mother not to ever talk to me again. Now I have TB, CHF and SCC. I knew I had sepsis and the medical staff at MVHS. Don’t care about patients lives.
Thank you for giving the name of the Doctor. I do not know who was my Fathers Doctor. They changed names and titles more than every 8 hours. I was his DPOA and they never returned not 1 phone call. Not 1. I had to be the one to tell my Dad that God was calling him home. He was so scared but most of all; the worst of all was he suffered. A scream that wakes me up every night in a cold sweat. No on and I mean no one should have to go through that type of Hell.
@@Angeleys2 I am so sorry for what they did to your father and you and your family. Doctors took an oath to “ Do No Harm”. They actually get away with murder . I recently was septic a few times and I was told by many people at the hospital “ my life doesn’t matter “. I am disabled, on Medicare and Medicaid, very low income, with no family due to them leaving me for dead. My PTSD and anxiety, night terrors, flash backs happen all the time. I have been fighting for my life and being discarded like trash is a beyond horrible feeling. I am so sorry for your loss.
I just received this today. If you want to share with me the details of your life know sometimes it helps to have someone listen. Remember do not carry Hatred; God will take care of the rest
Thank you for sharing. It does seem that when you get this, they come with the faking stories. Call you insane. ...have the shrink come into see you all the while ignoring what the TRUTH is. Yeah I'm sorry this happened. I believe I have a benigh tumor effecting my vision. They won't run a scan and I'm covered. Bunch of hair fell out. They dgaf all these ppl get into this to meet partners at work. Pretty much!!!!
@@Angeleys2 my God, my sympathies to you.
As a twin I want to hug her so bad, your sister is still here and you’re living proof that she still lives through you.
My daughter died from sepsis. She was 55 . She had a UTI , that rapidly changed into sepsis, in a week in icu and she was gone. Horrible,Covid was on and I couldn’t go in! 😢
Folks please, keep in mind. When you've had all kinds of symptoms, and after going to multiple HOSPITALS, URGENT CARE, ER, PLEASE KEEP TRACK OF ALL OF THOSE PLACES, NAMES, ADDRESSES, PHONE NUMBERS AS WELL, AS GET A COPY OF YOUR RECORDS ALL TEST THEY PERFORMED, WHILE AT THESE PLACES. AND ONCE, YOU'RE DIAGNOSED WITH A CAUSE, GO GET AN ATTORNEY AND HIT EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!!!! CAUSE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON ITTTTT! AN MANY HOSPITALS AND URGENT CARE, AND ER DEPARTMENT ARE JUST PASSING FOLKS AROUND INSTEAD OF DIAGNOSING AND TREATING! HOPE THIS HELPS MANY, I WORK IN HEALTHCARE, AND ITS TRULY SAD, THEY OUT THERE PLAYING WITH FOLKS AND THEIR FAMILY'S LIVES. ITS SICKENING!!!!
John K I hope you are still alive. Please have you or someone in your family get an attorney!!!! I did. Doctors who ignore; will not treat or are ignorant or arrogant should go to Jail. Do not pass Go. They have created a Monopoly on taking money instead of taking care of people. As an important step in becoming a doctor, medical students must take the Hippocratic Oath. And one of the promises within that oath is "first, do no harm"
I am doing this for My Father!!! RIP
Your father would be proud!
I'm back in the hospital for the 3rd sepsis in 18 months, and the pain is just out of this world, I can't move at all and have so high fever that I just feel confused most of the time. It doesn't make it easier to know it's my own fault for using opioids IV. All the time combined I have been hospitalized 3 months and counting.
Hey, how are you feeling?
Sorry to hear
Stay positive. People don't acknowledge
The empact of POSITIVE THINKING.
HOPE YOU GET BETTER
My mom died on 1/06/22 from Sepsis. She had swelling in the legs and the swelling from fluid moved throughout her body. She drowned in this fluid and the Cardiologist and other specialist…didn’t know what was wrong with her.

I had sepsis recently due to an abscess that I left because of work. I was so so sick. It’s sobering knowing that I could’ve died. I had around 50g of total antibiotics over the course of 2 weeks. The abscess is still healing but I feel much better now, still recovering.
Went into sepsis from a tooth infection, was in hospital for close to a week and god did it hurt like hell when the pain meds stopped working.

My mom died of sepsis
Tried to self care
Worst thing possible
I had sepsis in 2017. I also thought I had the flu, started with joint pain and fever that just kept going up despite OTC meds. By the time I went to the ER, heart rate was very elevated and my BP was 88 over 44. Spent three days in intensive care and was a solid month before I was strong enough to even walk across the room again.
I have had sepsis 4 differend times in the last 2 years and had to spend time in the hospital all put together close to 3 months. I'm panicking a little bit now because today suddenly I started to feel the same familiar symptoms I had the last times. If it still get's worse in the morning i'll have to go to hospital to check this out again.
Is you alright 🥺
Sorry man 😢how are you feeling now, did you go to the Dr?
Are you avoiding foods that contribute to it? Try to eat as healthy as possible from now on, that should help your immune system get stronger.
@@brendaann727 All of it was due to my IV opioid addiction. Ritght now i'm thinking of going to get treatment, but I don't kow if i'm strong enough.
they had to remove my left butt-cheek down to the bone in 2018 due to sepsis that was undiagnosed by my doctors
How they miss the diagnosis did they take blood tests

omg this drs story made me cry
I am absolutely terrified that I have sepsis after these comments. I have bad anxiety and especially when it comes to health. I’ve had a wound that hasn’t healed and just started showing like 2 signs of infection or septic wound and it’s the middle of the night. I have been dizzy for 2 days and idk what to do because everyone thinks I’m fine
I get the same exact shi plus shortness of breath
I was discharged 4 days ago for this.... ZERO SYMPTOMS. My kids (Ages 18 & 15) found me unresponsive... called 911. I was on life support for 6 days.

My mother in law died yesterday from this awful infection.
I'm so sorry.😢😢😢🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏼🕊❤
My husband survived septic shock three times! The last time his bp was 30/20. He was recovering from severe aortic dissection which survivors are rare with that condition too but Jesus healed him of all of it so it infuriates me when people say God and Jesus are fairytales because I know better!
My mom is a survivor if aortic dissection.
@@Noname11364 It’s rare or so all these doctors tell me. I told my pain doctor about my husband and he stopped in mid sentence and turned and said I’m sorry for your loss! I said no loss that’s why I now need you. All that sitting or trying to sleep in emergency waiting rooms etc tore my back up! He just had this look of shock and he said I have seen a lot of dissection patients come in but none left alive. I said well even at Duke my husband was first to leave alive. They made a big deal over him. The truth is he should be dead! I have met people who survived but it was caught early before it dissected. There are a few people I met on FB who like my husband survived but like him they were in hospital at least a year. Life support etc. I’m happy your Mom is doing good.
Always advocate for your health regardless if you think it's a severe condition or not. You cannot replace yourself if something serious happens. Better to go in for care than to not go. The US healthcare system should not make people pick and choose whether or not they need medical help!
Sepsis took away my love. ❤My best friend. She was home without help 5days. Unfortunately i was not in there to help her, make a call to emergency and get help. Nobody listened to me. I just knew something was not right. She was taken to emergency room on day 6 of her symptoms. Lost conscious in the ambulance. Her organs already failed , some fully, some 50%. Ended on icu, connected to a breathing tube.
She passed the same day . I believe and i know she still would be with us, if got her to the hospital earlier. It hurts me so much she was suffering. What i dont understand, is how come the nurse that was twice to check on her in the house did not notice anything?
What was wrong with this nurse?
I believe she is not quallified or should not bedoing her job.
How could she missed my friend being so sick and call an ambulance for her?
Whats wrong with her?
She just let my friend died pretty much at home. She was a hospice nurse.
I just lost my mother from sepsis caused from pneumonia I miss her so bad
She's definitely lucky to be alive I've been there same diagnosis and I did the same thing I pushed through I figured I'd be okay but when I got to the hospital and they tested me I was severely anemic I had sepsis and endocarditis which is a heart valve infection and I remember before I went to the hospital I was sitting here like okay my heart really hurts from Simply walking to the bathroom so I had two choices and I was considering the other choice which would have been just going to sleep and just hoping that I would have been better the next day but when I got there I did mention that to the doctor they said that I wouldn't have had another day in me if I would have just chosen to go to sleep and he was most definitely right because the next morning after they had admitted me to the hospital I woke up nibbled my breakfast there and then suddenly bam I had a stroke maybe 15 to 20 minutes after waking up and ordering breakfast.
If I wouldn't have called the ambulance when I did I would have woken up the next day to an empty house add more minutes upon waking up would have had a stroke and I would have been here all alone so my family would have probably returned to my dead body.
I'm glad I got help when I did and I'm glad Karen got help when she did because sepsis is one of the number one killers.
So glad you made it. 🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏾🕊💗
I was always lucky I always had wounderfull health care in hospital
I was diagnosed with Sepsis at Beaumont, and Doctors never told me, and how i found out was My Health Chart, online, So My new Doctor, told me i have nothing to worry about cause i was diagnosed in 2017, she told me id already be dead, Thanks Beaumont doctors for not letting me know this in 2017, i wish i could sue, cause it could have killed me any legal advice as to what i should do, am i still at risk, please Doctor speak up..
My mother-in-law passed last Wednesday from Sepsis 😩🙏🏿❤️🕊
I had it with uncontrollable chills and shaking. But if they are t giving u iv vit c and thiamine with the abx you have less chance.
Two injections of thiamine helped a lot with the confusion, two transfusions, pulled 600 cc of fluid off of each lung. Several infections just caught up with me, c diff, uti, anemia, went into new onset afib and left work, never came back.
What is abx? Hope you are improved.🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🕊❤
Interesting. I had uncontrollable chills and shaking last month. Jumped in the shower for 15 minutes with no change in temperature. Got out of the shower and called an ambulance. Finally, when I got to the ER I was finally warming up. They saw that I had a kidney infection in my urine sample and gave me antibiotics and sent me home, no vitamin C or Thiamine. I've been fine since but I was pretty damn sure I was dying! I'm still doing follow ups as my bloodwork keeps coming back as my body fighting an infection so they may admit me into the hospital soon and give me some stronger antibiotics over IV. I'm hoping all is well though for my next follow up next week!
@@forgotten893 - Infections can definitely kill you. Vitamin C helps your immune system be stronger to fight infections.
I remember being told in November 2016 that i would not have made it to Christmas 2016 if i'd not been diagnosed with Sepsis. I've been on longterm antibiotic therapy and have caught every infection going. I recover from one and catch another less than a month later and the only time I'm not sick is in the summer, which in the UK is 2 months in the year, rest of the time I'm always recovering from something, then get something else.
I had a UTI which kept coming back for 5 years. I was then told eventually by a private urologist that it had not actually been treated but was laying dormant in my body for that amount of time, and coming out whenever I felt like it.
Would anybody on here be able to tell me that if your immune system is under strain for that long, whether it can cause your immune system to then be suppressed? I definitely have a weakened immune system since then but since it's never been recognised on the NHS and cannot afford to go private I've never had answers and spend my life mostly being ill with recurring infections.
I'd like to add that before that UTI that wasn't treated properly, i was very healthy and rarely got ill.
Most uncomfortable entire body pain and head delirium I’ve ever experienced. Terrible Late stage sepsis. Lucky to make it out alive.
And here I am today lucky to be alive after get Covid19 and viral sepsis because of it.
You sure it was covid or was it psemonia they lie and say everything is covid these days my wife just died of sepsis
@@bronxbully6261 Also I am very sorry to hear about your loss, I couldn't even begin to understand your pain. However I never thought I was septic, and sepsis can easily be overlooked because it mimics others symptoms of Covid or the flu. Once you go into septic shock there is nothing that can be done. Please be well, and take care.
@@Cnightz yeah she was just fine the night before next day talked to her for 1 to 5oclock on the phone at 6 oclock she said she cant breath and keep coughing those were her last words to me to this day iam thinking what went wrong in only one hour
@@bronxbully6261 I'm sorry, she must have been ill for a short time thinking it was the common cold, or flu perhaps even Covid. Make no mistake it absolutely feels like the Common Cold, the Flu and Covid. I knew something was very wrong when I was laying down for 3 hours on my bed, no movement what so ever. My breathing was if I ran up the stairs 5 times, my chest burned and my heart my beating very hard and fast. I leaned over picked up my phone and checked my HR and 02% at 3 hours rest there should have been no reason for my body to have been that exerted. My hesrt rate was 109 and my 02% showed 90%. I went to the ER later that morning. It brings me regret to say she must have been trying to tough it out like I was. Once your body goes into septic shock you only have hours to live, 12 at the most. That is how deadly sepsis is. The lactate becomes elevated in your blood, making blood acidic, This happens when the liver fails doing its job. The liver is supposed to break down the lactate. When it doesn't it travels to your kidneys and everywhere else inside. It then causes oxygen starvation to your tissues that damage the organs (heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, brain, GI tract) When that happens that is when you start breathing hard, your lungs turn anaerobic creating more lactate trying to give more oxygen to the body. If its bad enough the body gets little oxygen and CO2 you try to breath out doesn't get out because of the shallow breaths which then makes you hypoxic. Its happens very fast and you need to act fast to survive. When I was admitted my lactate levels were 2.6 that night it went up to 4.9 I felt the same very ill when I came in. Its very hard to tell where you are at in the stages. I had no idea. Even if they somehow were able to clear the sepsis from the blood, damage to the organs has already happened. There is no surviving septic shock. We can only learn about the stages, how to recognize them and act very fast. Sepsis can come from Bacterial infections, Fungal infections and parasitic infections. All can be cured with medication however there is no cure or current treatments for viral sepsis. All they can give you is steroids like dexamethasone.
God be with you, stay strong.
@@Cnightz yeah she messed up big time I love her but she talked a lot but when it came to important stuff its funny how she would bring it up late or after the fact her grandmother said she was sick all morning while on the phone with me I dont know how true that it because she wasnt coughing or short of breath on the phone with me while she was in the icu she said it came from a tapon being stuck in her from a rape than when she passed away she said it was from a whole comdom being inside her for 6 months that disentegrated that was so far up her vagina it indicated rape i dont know what to believe i dont trust the grandmother because she said my wife asked her for help and she told her she look pretty when she sick i feel if I was with her it would have been a different outcome iam a very serious person and assertive her grandmother said she was screaming in pain and my wife had to go to hospital by herself after asking her to go with her i really dont believe thst condom story i feel her gma is trying to make her look bad even during death
Sepsis almost took me out at 35. Horrible!!
I just got out of the hospital for an abscess with cellulitis, i was on IV antibiotics for almost a week!
Yes this stuff is a silent killer too , cause you won’t even know u til it’s either too long or too late or
I'm not trying to ignore the symptoms but I'm tired of the hospital being like you've been here a couple times already can we help you with something yeah I have chronic health problems I can't help that I'm a mess I'm going in today I'm pretty sure I have sepsis or I'm developing it I've been like 96.9° all night long roughly and lower so horrible I'm pregnant I have a tooth infection I think that has led to my head and bloodstream it's swollen my head is swollen I can barely move
That does sound like sepsis! Go to any hospital who will take you seriously! May God help you survive!
I hope you got some help & your baby is ok. A bad tooth can lead to sepsis or flesh-eating disease. I know someone who died from a bad tooth. 😢🙏🏼🙏🏾❤

I had a bad case of pneumonia that caused sepsis. I was so close to just pushing through the pain but after it felt like I was going to pass out and die i decided to go to the emergency room. Luckily i made the right decision
Pain when i eat hot or even warm foods even cold foods or going outside in the cooler weather brings on a tooth ache that can last up to a hour or so. xrays show nothing but cavities was filled a year ago . What can i do to get these pulled and and get some dentures in the top. They need to get out so i can live without this pain every time i eat.
I had that septic what happened was I had kidney stones and in the surgery I went in to septic I was in ITC that was about 6 years ago
My daughter insisted I go to hospital... they admitted me straight away. They could not get an iv. My veins collapsed. We prayed. They found one angel who was the best at getting an impossible line. I needed 5 ivs .Emergency surgery and ICU. They woke me. I thought I must be dead because im finally no longer i pain. The Surgeon said had I not gone in I Would have died and not seen tomorrow. You fool yourself...I'm fine...thinking as you're shivering uncontrollably. 😢
So glad you nade it!🙏🏾🙏🏼🙏🏽❤

I had this in my throat last year and I’ve had malaria before and nothing has ever made me feel as sick and weak as sepsis. I legit thought I was going to die and couldn’t put a thing in my mouth for 3 days
Sepsis happens when you have low immunity, it isn't just an infection. And after Sepsis their immunity gets even lower. Survivors need to change their lifestyle and eating habits! The long-term survival is 60% in 5 years probably because most don't change their life-style and eating habits after Sepsis. They're in risk in the first 5 years after Sepsis, so they need to do something... The minimum they should do is starting exercising(It decreases inflammation), taking vitamin D3(At least 5,000 UI; To improve their weakened immune system) and vitamin K2(The MK7 type; 100mcg) and stopping eating sugar. They need fasting(18 hours minimum, for autophagy) to clean up damaged protein, which can cause chronic inflammation... And to eat antimicrobial foods as well, like ginger, garlic and lemon, since their immunity gets very low after Sepsis. Vitamin K2 helps for the intracellular hypercalcemia that can happen after Sepsis. Also Green Tea, Apple Cider Vinegar and fermented foods are important for them.
Wish I had known better
I witnessed these symptoms in Mom at Emory University Midtown.
What are you supposed to do if the doctor fights with you?
A portions don't make exceptions for sepsis.
My mom had it along with 4 other infections after knee replacement surgery
Hey how is she now...my dad also had infection after a surjury..
Unfortunately the hospitals around me are the ones ignoring the symptoms..
Me watching this with stomach pain for 5 days now 👁👄👁
I need help
Hope you have improved. I am fending off with whole raw foods diet, pure water, & avoiding the foods which contribute to infection; & God's guidance.
Lost my Nana to Sepsis last month, infection on her foot from an ulcer 😞😞❤
I have sepsis
I almost had sepsis from tooth abscess
What was symptoms?
What symptoms you had? If you don’t mind sharing
My mom has this for the second time in a year
I almost got sepsis from eating allergenic catfish accidentally.
Keenly, this is a life-threatening attack to the whole bloodstream by a foreign invader, caused by an immune system that overreacts to a localized infection and just explodes into a "cytokine storm" that shuts down your organs seriously (including your heart, lungs, liver, kidneys) and drops your blood pressure dangerously low. The result is almost like you being choked. Without emergency treatment in about 4 to 10 minutes, death results from multiorgan failure.
My Dad had it, died a month later
I have a tooth absces and getting shivers feeling unwell hot and cold feeling sicky haven't eating anything my heartrate self check at 108 beats per minute not able to move much, swollen face, confusion etc my urine alot darker than normal,plus I'm a type 1 diabetic and have heart disease was in hospital during the week but sent me home but was at the dentist couldn't remove affected tooth cause of my health conditions but I think I'm starting to get the signs of septis and don't want to go back into hospital cause they will tell me they can't do anything like they only gave me pain relief last time
Bro how are you now..whats your age..i have infection in my one teeth i am 18 year old and my dentist gave me medicine for a week...should i also worry...
Sepsis happens when you have low immunity, it isn't just an infection. And after Sepsis their immunity gets even lower. Survivors need to change their lifestyle and eating habits!

I was just diagnosed with sepsis I’m currently in the hospital 🥺🥺🥺
Me too 😞🙏🏽
Need to look after yourself when you get out. Be careful. The vitamin shot stores are going up, I would be there in a heart beat for the money. Hope everyone here recovers. Keep an eye on your joints after this
How are you doing now?!
@@dallascowboysgirl9803 how are you know?!
@@swaxy6274 Hey! It took me longer than usual to recover, my case was severe, I had to be on 5 different antibiotics until they figured it out. I feel much better now! Thank you for asking.
@DJones are you still there?
Offtopic Vindu is very beautiful
my mom..... who was awfully sick.... Got me worried so I took like time to google search, since she doesnt wanna go to hospital.... -_- We found out that it was a bacteria that got her into a state of her leg getting weird boils and inflames hot sensation.... she kept on shivering and she finally took those antibiotic capsules , they symptoms went away.
Lol saved us some money but I felt scared for her life after google said that it reuires medical attention and to be rushed in ER! But shes now fine.... i mean I was even scared it might come back again

But why my friend grandpa never had tooth check up for 40 years... Start from 15 years old.. his tooth were all rotten ... He went check up after 40 years past... Now he is ok... Tooth decay for 40 years? Not only him i have seen many people similar to my friend grandpa in my place ... Still no one dies from tooth infection....
Rotting and infection are different. If the teeth are rotten it is from cavities and tartar buildup, if it is infection, there will be discharge pain and swelling from internally (gums).
Yea they do now. I know of a lady that let her tooth go for too long, she ended up with flesh-eating disease. They couldn't save her, she died so quickly.😢😭😭
@@jaleesa00- It can kill you if it goes too far. See my comment above about a lady that died from that. Even pets can die from a bad tooth.
The experts chosen are questionable. They are barely literate. Unimpressed.
Is it true that sepsis patient are not allowed to drink water or eat food?
Whst treatment u had
u have it to?
