My mom passed away due to septic shock last December. She was prepared for an ortopede surgery and she was given a catheter, then next day, she got urioinfection. Then it could not be stopped. She was immediatelly given the strongest and the widest spectrum antibiotics also infusion to maintain the blood pressure. Did not help. The last three days, she was almost in coma, and did not have any pain. Can not get over it. She survived breast cancer then this took her away. So painful.

I had Sepsis and I went to the ER on time with lots of antibiotics. Now I'm afraid of Sepsis coming back to my body again.

I had sepsis one month ago, barely survived, spent 3 days in the hospital, luckily antibotics and fluids brought me back, they sent me home with pills the size of horse tranquilizers, doing good now

I had it in my lungs. Never had a fever Still going through a lot after 4yrs. It's a ver ly hard complex infection. Praying for Shayla.

WOWWW

The flu vaccine is about 28% effective and everytime I’ve gotten the flu vaccine I’ve gotten severely ill- got heart inflammation after my flu shot and was down for 2 months!!!

Watching this on new year’s day 2025 - brings back some memories I wish I never had. I’m a former professional baseball player. I’ve been fit my entire life - rarely getting the cold or flu. In November, 2023, I went to bed feeling sluggish & sore joints. I assumed I pushed it during a workout earlier that day - so I went to bed early to try and sleep it off. The next morning, I woke up feeling like a truck hit me - joints were extremely painful, my headache was the worst I’ve ever had. My feet & hands were freezing cold , although I was sweating laying in bed. This was November in Canada - sweating was definitely not normal! I decided to stay home & my wife went to work & kids to school. Luckily, my mother called about something else & when I told her what was happening - she knew it was probably 5x worse than what I was telling her so she called an ambulance to get me. The paramedics were there within 15 minutes & I was at the emergency in the hospital 10 minutes later. At this point, I was very lightheaded & had a hard time focusing & understanding questions. I just remember thinking “ I have 3 doctors & 4 nurses around me sticking needles in both arms - I must be in trouble “ . I don’t remember much about that day - other than realizing at some point I was in ICU unit. I was having a hard time breathing & they actually had to put a breathing tube in the next day. I kept asking what was going on & no staff would say the word Sepsis to me. At some point in day 2, the Dr called in my wife & parents & told them what no parents want to hear- “ your son is very sick. We are doing everything possible for him. Am I telling you he is going to die? No. I will tell you if he wants to live he’s going to fight with every bit of strength he has. I began to show improvement on day 4 in ICU - so they switched me from the potent doses of antibiotics to a milder antibiotic. Within hours, I began coughing non stop & having trouble with breathing. This was about 2am & I turned so fast from improving to almost back at square one. I asked the nurse to pass me the phone & give me a minute of privacy. I made 2 phone calls- to my mom & my wife. I told them I felt like I wasn’t going to make it through the night. It’s hard to explain, but I just felt deep inside I couldn’t fight back anymore. After hanging up, I cried like a baby for 10 minutes, then I felt this peace come over me & that fear of dying just went away. I still thought I was going to die, but I was OK with it. I’m 53, I lived a childhood dream of playing professional baseball & raised 2 great sons - both were in college on baseball scholarships. My job was done…and if I had to go…I had to go. At some point I fell back asleep & when I woke up, I could not believe how much better I felt - the nurses had put back on the powerful antibiotics while I was sleeping & my body responded well. On day 6 , my breathing had improved, I was actually able to get up & walk to the bathroom & wash myself. You cannot believe how good that scrub made me feel. Of course, when I got back to the bad, I was exhausted…but I had accomplished something -that’s all that mattered ! Days 7 & 8, I was steadily improving…able to get up several times to walk around throughout the day & I began working with specialists doing breathing exercises etc. this one nurse in particular was about 4’10 100 lbs. I’m 6’4 275, she pushed me through those exercises every day. She said “ do you think I’m scared to yell at you? He’ll no buddy - so don’t make me. lol . I loved her! By day 11, the doctors & nurses all came in and put me through a series of tests . I passed all no problem. I was hoping that meant they would move me down to a regular room - out of ICU - so I was shocked when they stood me to pack up - I’m going home. I couldn’t believe it. The tiny nurse said “ I know you’ll be sad without me, but when I saw you 11 days ago, you’re lucky to be going home. So get ! “ Haha

U have given me hope that I'm going to recover. Thank u

God bless the school nurse

On March 17,2024 I myself had went into Sepsis Shock. I had a 17% chance of living after being admitted into the hospital. I spent almost three weeks but if the team of doctors would have not tried me on 4 different antibiotics I would have died, which ironically was what my husband of thirty years passed away from on November20,2013 and coincidently I was in the same E.R room he was in. My three children had knew I wasn't going to make it and when I did pull through I strongly believed it was because of my Angel my husband was with me and I also had so many people coming to pray for me over my bedside, however I did come back unable to speak move,my hands, and legs. Also, my skin had appeared that it had burned from the inside out. I had deep holes all over my body. As of today, December 28, 2024 I still cannot breath real good and I cannot stand for more than 5 minutes at a time. My holes are closed up but they still hurt, especially on both my knees. I do know I am not getting a good blood flow through my legs but I am just curious how much longer I have to be in this condition before I begin to feel better. Is there hope on the other side? I used to be so healthy until I had gotten the covid shot in 2020 and now I barely have any energy to get up out of bed. I am 60 years old and my body actually feels like its 80. I have recently reviewed this video and found the website for the septic shock survivors so I am hoping to get some advice on how I can overcome this dreadful feeling I have everyday and unfortunately it is keeping me locked up like I'm in prison, never now being able to get out of my home since I'm still so sick. I pray to my Lord and Savior everyday to have the strength and I also pray for the other survivors who has experienced this awful sickness. May you have Peace and comfort for whatever is ailing you.

I had sepsis the hospital caught my sepsis early, it all started when i got UTI i even got blood infections i almost died in the hospital. I had trouble breathing and uncontrollably coughing and high heart rate and anxiety. Thankfully im alive and well i stayed in hospital for 10 days

My mommy just passed away after fighting sepsis and other bacterial infections picked up in hospital. She picked up Staphylococcus - MRSA and Corynebacterium in the woundcare dept at the hospital. She then got a perforated bowel after not being able to use the toilet for a very long time even after begging to. She did not want to go in the nappy. She then got vented after a very long colostomy operation and then the Dr decided to sedate her for fighting the vent. She thus went from Simv vent at 35 to 90, the sedation weakened my mother extremely. She was fighting a great fight but in the end they left ascites untreated and she passed from resp failure due to effusion. They really could have done more,but did not. They rather tried weaning her from meds that she actually needed. After a month and a few days they gave up,but my mother still tried to take a breath till the end. They lay her flat and had her tied,so she was drowned by people who were supposed to know better. I regret alot of things during this time,but I will not leave it there as someone else will be subjected to this and it needs to stop. After just under a million rand in medical fees and the loss of my mother and best friend, I feel like I am loosing my mind. I am so angry!

Thank you!❤ i just survivd sepsis and a necrofisierande farcit. My soul is still in the hoapital, ithInk. My hand is healing good. I didnot know how fast sepis work 😮 Thank you

Hero nurse for sure 💯❤️❤️❤️ thank goodness that she was a true caring nurse.

Can you imagine getting sepis from a iv bag at the hospital a hospital acquired infection that won’t heal just to keep getting reinfected with a new infection mrsa ,Staphylococcal, flesh eating bacteria,rabies ,fungus

My dad went to the ER on 11/5/24 with Severe Sepsis. I had no idea what it was and how difficult this would be for him and the family. He’s had a 10 hour heart surgery, another operation to flush out the infection of the plural cavity, 2 hand surgeries, and is on dialysis. He was intubated 3x’s (currently intubated) and we are praying he can make it out of this nightmare.

My husband got sepsis this past summer due to a urinary tract infection, which they think now was caused by an enlarged prostate. I am so thank ful that I recognized the signs and got him to a hospital quickly. He had no long term issues and healed up after spending 3 days in the hospital and two weeks resting at home. Sepsis is serious, known the signs.

Sepsis is a nasty thing to have. Spent time in ICU and it almost killed me. A year later, I'm still having some complications. I cannot believe half of the population has not heard of this condition. Perhaps my knowledge of it came from dealing with livestock?? I don't know, but more people need to be aware of the condition

I do know as a RN that having access to the best healthcare and doctors and also having unlimited funds helps you get well and survive.

I think nurse at school should call parent first goverment to busy in people bussnes

I have Crohn’s disease and had kidney stone surgery in May of this year. Almost lost my kidney and had to have a stent for 6 weeks. My body fights healthy tissue and didn’t like having a stent in it. I went into the ER in June for severe pain and they found out my stent was infected and I had sepsis. I was immediately put on IV antibiotics and thankfully caught it in time. I still have to be careful for a year with any illness etc. I’m on Stelara injections every 6 weeks which also puts me at risk for infection so I have to be so careful. I’m so happy I listened to my body and went in. Everyone at the hospital told me how sick I was and I didn’t want to believe it. I’m so happy I am ok now and on the mend.

What a trooper. Thanks for sharing your story but more important spreading awareness.

According to my ICU nurses, paramedics likely saved me. By the time i got to the ER they were alerted. What i thought was a gi flare was a massive infection in my colon. They took the time to get 3 iv's in me and meds. I did end up ventilated with kidney failure. Im only 2 weeks home now and still fearful😢

You are a strong woman. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I prey everything continues to go well for you.

I HAVE LUPUS AND I GOT PNEUMONIA AND I WENT SEPTIC AND DIED 2XS AND WAS IN LIVER AND KIDNEY FAILURE AND WAS BLEEDING INTERNALLY AND NEEDED 21 UNITS IN A DAY IN A HALF AND WAS INTUBATED FOR 2 WEEKS AND LOST HALF OF MY SIGHT. GOD BROUGHT ME BACK TO LIFE

I was in labor for 4 days trying to get help from NCB Bronx NY and nearly died and got sepsis but no damage to limbs but was pissing blood. My son is slow and hyperactive 2 late to sue all evidence washed away.

gotta put some blame on the hospitals

School nurse here in England would just say "wet a blue paper towel you will be ok"

I KNOW JC! HE'S ALIVE AND THRIVING! HE HATES US FOR FINDING THIS, BUT HE'S OKAY :DD

I was in a house fire three months ago. Ended up in icu on a ventilator. It was an absolute nightmare. ICU dreams. What a nightmare. ❤

I actually know JC (Edna's son) we are friends in school I'm pretty sure Edna also works for the school JC is friends with a lot of people.

The poor kid has poor sepsis that’s terrible is very poor and very disgusting. It’s a poor disease. All diseases are poor and disgusting. I mean, it’s a very poor disease. Disgusting but was the kids IV in the hand or the arm because I know the paramedic put IV in him? Was it in the hand of the arm? I like mine in my arm

Thankyou for your story I to survived septic shock my colon ruptured while I was in the hospital for 3 weeks for ulcer colitis I had 13 of them in my colon while in surgery my colon ruptured 4 more times and I was in septic shock that was in September 9 2020 I was in ICU for 4 months and was place in a rehabilitation hospital to get Mobil again o went from a 190 lbs to 113 I didn't have the strength to move my self in bed and I got those bed sores to and the nurse turned me ever 2 hours I was in a feeding tube on my left arm . I am now almost back to Full strength but I get tired in about 4 hours since my white blood cell count was low I got bells palsy and giant cell arthritis a month apart , lost vision in my left eye to corna ulcer and all of my hearing in my right ear and 80 percent in my left ear I never heard of the side effects of septic shock and started reading about it and all of the side effects it has and how the apply to me I found about it reading my surgery report I got from my. General surgeon I was wondering why it was taken so long to be normal again. But I will never Be where I was before. I happy for your recovery it takes time to get better Thank you again Steve

I sometimes fainted even after the iron infusion for 3 hours, but I felt okay, but then I fainted again after walking and then laid down on the floor while fainting, so the doctors and nurses helped me to get up and sit on the wheelchair and do the iron infusion for 30 minutes. Even though I fainted after the iron infusion, I still had a great and wonderful time with my mom and the doctors and nurses!!

I understand. I survived Severe Sepsis that piggybacked on Acute Covid Delta and was in hospital 5 weeks. It was vicious, replete with several serious hallucinatory episodes, being on 55-66 liters of oxygen, massive amounts of steroids and heart medicine because the steroids drove me into heart failure and also was on large insulin doses due to this. I lost 50 pounds in one week completely bedridden and had piclines in each arm. I was released when I could take 6 steps with a walker and on 8 units of oxygen with a machine.......I'm a tough old bastard and in a few days I was off the walker... That was 3 years ago and I think I've completely recovered for the most part. I have some joint pains in my hands, digestive issues that are fading and a heart attack about a year ago with no apparent cause but I'm 71 and it could be due to aging..........I'm certainly extremely lucky and probably an unusual case. I truly, truly wish you all the best life has to offer

Good for you !

My cat just died of sepsis because apparently my vet was too ignorant to understand the risk that a flea allergy rash caused. The infection entered his blood and brain. He was diagnosed with encephalitis. He didn't poop for 10 days even with enemas.

Thanks and I wish you well!

Thankfully, in a very tiny hospital in a very tiny town the drs recognized sepsis in me and started all the necessary treatment and sent me on to a larger hospital. By my transfer they pretty much had definitive diagnosis through blood work. I was heading into renal failure but that was thankfully reversed. I than God everyday for his intervention and guidance.

Bless you ❤❤❤ I'm trying to get over sepsis Thank you you've been so helpful 😂❤❤❤❤ thank you X
