Anyone got Post Sepsis, no strength in legs absolutely no energy, any tips please xx

I am a 52 year old WM , born and raised in Canada. I attended University in the US on an athletic scholarship. I was drafted professionally to play my sport & continued living in the States during my entire 8 year pro career. I returned to Canada at age 31 - & still a resident & citizen of Canada. I've been extremely lucky throughout my life. No major illnesses to speak of & no major injuries , despite competing at the highest level my sport offers. In November, 2022 I felt like a cold was in its initial stages of developing. Colds were rare for me & I couldn't even remember the last time I had the flu. This "cold" seemed different however. Symptoms came quickly & more severely than previously. I did what Most would do - I took some NyQuil & hoped a long sleep would help in recover. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. I slept a good 9-10 hours & remember feeling as though a truck hit me & every bone & joint in my body ached as I tried to get out of bed to use bathroom. Dizzy & sore head to toe, I made it to the toilet. Standing there I felt like I had to go , but nothing happened. Looking at my watch , I realized it was about 12 hours since my last pee. For someone who generally pees too often, I became slightly alarmed. I was exhausted- & decided to go back to bed. About 2 hours later, a cough began ... and literally coughed non stop for the next few hours. During this time , I noticed my feet & fingers feeling extremely cold. But at the same time, my forehead was clammy. My wife called my aunt who is a retired nurse to ask her opinion as she thought about taking me to emergency ,my aunt cut her off & said hang this phone up immediately & call 911. Ambulance was called & I was off to hospital. We have notorious wait times in hospital emergency rooms in canada. I was fading in & out of sleep at this point, I remember looking around & counted 2 doctors, 2 first responders, 4 nurses all around me - I knew something was seriously wrong . I just remember what seemed like a non stop carousel of people drawing blood out of me. A few more hours go by, I remember my parents arriving. My dad was a professional boxer; rarely showed any emotion unless it was anger. I watched a Dr, whisper in my moms & wifes ear & they took my dad to " family room" they were not in there long as far as I could tell, but their faces were drained & none of them would look me in eye. In a matter of minutes I was being moved to ICU & my home for next 10 days. It was getting late I asked To be alone till tomorrow. I asked my mom to stay for a second after everyone left & I need to know what dr said. I want it word for word - what was said. " he said I won t sugar coat this - he is a very sick man. We believe Sepsis Pneumonia, but waiting for last bloodwork. Am I telling you he's going to die ? No. I'm telling you if he is to live, he needs to fight for it very hard. 1.5 years later: I'm still here. It took something from me , I'm still trying to figure that all out. I'm extremely exhausted still , have lost interest in everything I used to enjoy. I hope some of it I can find again because survival isn't living sometimes. Thanks for reading, all the best

Is there any further data on this topic from 2020?

Who thought not including a view of the graphs & charts was a good idea for this video? 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

I am nearly 74 and was hospitalized with sepia in 2023. I am improving but at not myself yet. I finished my antibiotics a month ago.

audio is fucked up

I've had sepsis twice, both times it was pneumonia. The second time I was hospitalized for 3 weeks. After being home for 3 days I was expected to go back to cooking and cleaning at home. After a week at home I was expected to return to work and pretend I was fine. I was not fine. It took me over a year to start to feel like I was a normal human being. Not my old self but as best as I could get.

Omg

I wish I had known

I CANNOT STAND FINFER.

I CANNOT STAND FINFER.

Good sir

So..... Are health care providers only treating gravely progressed ill people...☹️

this is so relevant. I usually find that when my patient gets unwell that there is usually a past mental heath issue. I also find that in deteriorating patients I find that a change in mental state precedes a change in vital sign change.

He was my lecturer and he is an amazing teacher.

Get presenation. Extremely annoying that we cannot see the graphs that Dr. Iwashyna is referring everyone to!!!

According to Dr merik from south Africa he used vitamin c b1 and steroids to save patients from sepsis solone steroid I think

My name is Guerschengorn my Father is from B erdiche (Russia)..any connection?

Intravenous chlorine dioxide at 50ppm cured me in one night. There would be no such thing as sepsis if the big Pharma would let this secret out.

The timing...

Is there a way to get video of the presentation of this !?

its been 4 months since I've left the hospital from severe sepsis. My life has changed completely, depression, PTSD, and hard to focus on things. I have no feeling or movement in my left leg below the knee, I have numbness throughout my lower half from severe nerve damage. I can't work, I can't take care of my son by myself, and dependent on others still. I pray no-one gets sepsis, I would do anything to have my old life back.

I had sepsis in April 2017. Since then I have constant chronic pain, trouble focusing, memory issues, reduction in fine motor control, intense fatigue, depression, anxiety, kidney issues, plus other stuff that goes on intermittently. Due to being unable to exercise, I've gained weight and lost fitness and strength as a result. It's affected all aspects of my life.

What about vitamin C and thiamine?? That trrats sepsis and coronavirus

Concidering corrent sanitary emergency and the fact that many people don't gets the ventilator witch are the downside of start prone the patient between 250 p/f and 150 p/f. Concidering that studies like proseva have show the best result close to 150 p/f ( but i dont find data about proning before) . today a small change that make a small improvement in the survival rate of covit 19 it will mean thousands of lifes

The camera operator is evidence of the need for presenters to sign off to release a production. If one was to learn anything from this talk, it is how NOT to record a presentation that depends on additional content supporting the verbal content by just not showing any of it. Try another presentation. This is too hard to follow.

fascinating

🙏🏽

Yes, it is a sad state when the general medical profession denies palliative care for the physical pain of Sepsis Survivors. For 5 years I have been living with cognitive decline, Fibromyalgia, and unbelievable fatigue. Also on the menu are liver tumors, a kidney shutting down, The doctor said, "Well, you have two. You should be fine"!! I almost took out one of his kidneys with a butter knife! They don't understand the pain of having a blood pressure of 175-200/ 95-115, body temp 95 degrees, pulse 95-120, combined with severe scoliosis, arthritis, blood clots in both legs, weekly swelling of limbs, insomnia from pain and restless leg plus body twitching. The constant infections, ER visits, and the quality of life is severely limited by pain. Three hospice representatives came to my home and told me that Sepsis Shock Survivors can't get palliative care since we have no definite, short term death date! "We kinda fall between the cracks of Medicare."

Thank you. This is one of the wisest and compassionate talks I've ever listened to.

Wirginia Maixner is my brothers surgeon :)

I had sepsis and MOF when i was 33years old. It will take 5 years to feel the same again. 1st year after sepsis its normal to be depressed because you feel so so weak mentally and physically . all so my short term memory was failing all the time. But your brain will never be same again something is changed in me. To day I am almost 38 years old and i can say i am on 90% for what i was before my sepsis. Butt i think it will never be 100%. Happy to be alive for sure. It made me a stronger person. Greatings from the Netherlands (I was born in christchurch NZ)

omg you are joking, i am 17 months post sepsis, this is just horrible , put me in the coffin now, are they joking, I have left temporal seziures and a racing heart on betta blockers But dont think im ready for death yet

48 yo healthy besides some osteoarthritis.. then got sepsis after a surgery for a kidney stone. 2.2 years out.. age 50 now mostly house bound, difficult breathing, migraines, muscles twitching, cramping and unstable heart rate and blood pressure. No more dancing, swimming, concerts, shopping trips, hiking... was I depressed before sepsis? no.. am I depressed now.. you better believe it.

I've been severely depressed after sepsis, general anxiety disorder, and a long list of other symptoms. Lack of focus, as I do not think the same. Meaning I am not the same "personality change" weakness, and well I don't think the same...I have a degree in Electronics, afterward I have many memories of electronics but do not think the same I can no longer solve problems that I solved before sepsis...I was in a medically induced coma for three weeks with multiple organ failure!

Hi Dr God bless you !!! you are not just talking person .you truly showed me what great person is your. after 2 surgery's you save my life and you given my life as where I were as normal person. I love you and your Team save my life to writ here something .I grateful you and your family give the person like you to save Life mine .what a Gift Sir God bless you!!!! Upul and family

Thank you for this video I live in the uk & have had Sepsis twice. First time they gave my family the dreaded hour. Thankfully I'm still here but very poor short term memory & I feel a different person.

I am a second year Bachelor of nursing Clinical leadership and I have read this article. I am an EEN and this article has been taken with me to work. It has made my practice a lot better and has given me more confidence.

I've had overwhelming anxiety ever since sepsis

looks like real observation

How can we do recruitment maneuvers protocols in ICU?

Do the study!

Nicely done, but blood gases are needed.

Very informative.Thanks

Great talk - thanks for making this available online

Thank you Jack for your dedication to the understanding of Sepsis and sepsis awareness.

Dr. Iwashyna frequently refers to information shown graphically in the slide presentation. Is there any way to read this information?
