In 2000, I got Sepsis from tonsillitis. My G.P admitted me due to liw B/P and Tachycardia. Because I was a Paramedic, he thought I had exposure to something bad. First thing done was blood drawn for cultures and IV broad spectrum antibiotics. Labs came back and sepsis diagnosis made. I was on dopamine for 24 hrs at kidney dose. I survived due to a 70 yr old G.P. and his early suspicion.

My girlfriend of 9 years passed away 2 weeks ago from this. I believe it started with a foot infection. Then came a fever that went away after a day, then her stomach started hurting. She had liver disease as well, so I thought maybe that was creeping back up after a few years. We even discussed it possibly being a kidney infection or stones. She was extremely stubborn about going to the hospital, we share that quality. All hell broke loose after about a week of the initial symptoms, and I found her on the floor. She was rushed to the hospital where she had 2 strokes on each side of her brain as well as a heart attack. They had her on 3 different blood pressure medications as well as life support for 3 days. It started affecting her kidneys, but they could not perform dialysis because they couldn't take her off the blood pressure medication. She was unconscious the whole time and they could not wake her up. Her condition stayed the same for a couple more days, then she started to decline, and we pulled her off life support. I knew nothing of sepsis, and feel like I failed her. I would have done whatever it took to get her to the hospital if I knew how fast it would have happened. I will say she tried to get antibiotics from a local clinic, but they told her they felt like it was something else going on, which is why I suspected her liver disease making another round. I believe her existing liver disease compromised her immune system, and is why her body could not fight properly. Goodbye Deana, the love of my life until we meet again

Very sorry, why would someone be stubborn about going to the hospital? They don`t torture you there, with something more serious than a running nose go to the doctor, and see 2-3 of them to have the confirmed diagnosis, if they tell you you are panicking - that`s OK. (though they might be wrong as well), otherwise you`ll catch something serious...Maybe it depends on the country, here in Russia we have free medical care or even if you pay for the doctor it`s not very expensive, at least in an emergency, so why not to see a doctor when you can..

Yes and no. It does resemble other illnesses, particularly the flu, but if the doctors and nurses do their job and identify it early than treatment and a positive outcome are exponentially higher. This is also why sepsis protocols should be mandated at every ER, ICU, stand alone clinic, etc. Sepsis should be at the top of the differential diagnosis and not at the bottom...in other words, rule it out right away rather than rule it in at the end

Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI) can be dangerous. True story, several years ago we were on a telecon with the CDC and a host of other people and organizations when a doctor from the CDC discussed HAIs. He was so damn proud they had reduced HAIs by some percent (forget the exact number) but skimmed over the fact that HAIs were still OVER the CDCs goal. I called him out on this on the telecon but received no support from anyone else, so we stopped participating in this "project" after one telecon.

The 2nd time I nearly died. Be very, very careful ! The doctors treated me for infection and eventually for gangrene. I was in hospital 5.5 months the first time and three months the second time.The hospital, later when I was in ICU, called my family twice saying I am "non-responsive" but a young doctor grabbed the gurney and raced me from section to section for tests.

I was in septic shock last year. My mom was told I’d die within the hour at the time they took me back for surgery. I had to have 3 surgeries to fix a bowel perforation and dead tissue in my abdomen, a 4th one within a month, and a 5th one two months ago last Friday. I finally had no more questions as to whether or not my GI issues were Crohn’s disease. Not only did I get diagnosed but found out I have a severe case. It attacked my nervous system. It attacked my vascular system, and my circulatory system. I was projected to never walk again without assistance, if at all. Somehow I was walking with a walker 4 days after I woke up from the coma. I was walking short distances without it two weeks after getting out of the hospital. I heal incredibly fast for having an autoimmune disorder. I was afraid my husband would leave me, too, as I had a temporary ileostomy (recently reversed) and I couldn’t even use a pen without him holding my hand. I still have issues to this day, though. It damaged my bones and teeth. I’m getting a bunch of preventative dental work next week. I have no ability to fight off bacterial infections without antibiotics. I’d often have symptoms of strep or a sinus infection for one or two days, and then be fine. Not now. A sinus infection sent me to the hospital and ate through my skin, to a nerve in my tooth, because I waited two days to see a doctor (it was the weekend). I’ll be getting surgery to repair that soon. I’m always in pain, but I was in pain before. It’s worse now sometimes, but different. I still have trouble with my hands deciding not to work sometimes. It sucks because I’m a hair stylist and make up artist used to doing extreme and glam looks for weddings, events, performance art, and photo shoots. My legs work but they hurt often. Just out of nowhere. I was extremely athletic before this. I also have a scar the length of my abdomen, and several smaller scars from drains and other procedures. I know it often takes about two years to fully heal from sepsis, but we don’t know what that will look like. I was the worst case the emergency surgery team had seen. I was septic for almost 3 days, and bowel related sepsis progresses fast. However I was one of the most rapidly recovering patients they have seen. I had more than exceeded expectations one month after my 4th surgery, so nobody really knows what to expect. Today I walked about half a mile. I’m in a lot of pain from it but I did it somehow. It’s sad to me that that’s an accomplishment but it’s a relief I am able to walk. My husband stayed with me. He never even considered leaving. He is a type 1 brittle diabetic and I’ve saved his like a few times as well. Not like this though. I’m so proud of this woman for her fight. I’m glad she is adjusting. Don’t think for a second she doesn’t have hard days where she hates that this happened. Tv never shows those days, but she is still fighting through those. I’m so glad she is raising awareness. I had heard the term but I thought it was what happened when you got bit by a brown recluse (though I guess it could happen with that? I thought it was the reaction though).

I lost my entire left labia and that was all. It started in my left gland bet my anus and vagina as a bump. The day I noticed it I thought oh just an infected hair. That night it became so painful I couldn't sleep tho that was all I wanted to do. The next morning it was so much worse with incredible pain. I called 911 and an ambulance took me to Centerpoint medical center in independence mo. Luckily they recognized I was in septic shock and gangrenous. I went into emergency surgery and had two more before they got all the gangrene. I was left with an open 4 inch deep incision from the top left of my pubic bone to even with the gland I mentioned before. Then three week later I was moved to a nursing home for skilled nursing services where I remained for two and a half months. I never knew how sick I was until I was released. Crazy.

I never heard of sepsis, even the doctors here didn't mentioned it. My grandma can't eat or drink. She rushed into hospital because of (abdominal pain) bowel obstruction. 1st Exploratory Laparotomy operation they just removed what's inside of the intestines. 13th day after operation her stomach grows again like a pregnant. They repeat the Exploratory Laparotomy for the 2nd time. This time they put 2 eggs-like drainage w/ a tube from below waist line (left & right) and anesthesia pad at her back. From April 9, I noticed the symptoms like low urine output, breathing problems, fast heart beats & high temperature. The doctors mentioned only UTI. They didn't educate us about sepsis and how dangerous it is. Until Sunday morning, April 14, 2019. There are some poop from the surgery wound and from the drainage. The doctors didn't act to prevent the situation from getting worse (like bringing her to ICU). Instead, they are more focused on our hospital bills that is already more than 1 Million pesos. They transferred her to a public hospital. The emergency case remains untreated for 8 hours!!! 2 AM the Exploratory Laparotomy repeated for the 3rd time. 10:09 AM April 15 she passed away that broke our hearts because I think she can survive sepsis if diagnosed & treated earlier. 💔💔💔💔

I’ve now had it 7 times and twice were severe sepsis, renal failure double pneumonia went in to sceptic shock and had two separate life saving Ops in which I cudnt be put under general as I wouldn’t survive so I was awake with morphine as a pain relief which they knew didn’t work. I was in the most unbelievable pain as they cut in to my neck and cut away infected tissue while I was awake. I nearly lost my life and lost my job because of this. There are no two ppl who get the same symptoms - the only similarities are the sore throat - my advice is to put a heat pack on as that’s what drew out the poison or whatever it was. I have pre-existing health problems which cause me chronic yet sometimes acute pain...I have Ehlers - Danlos Syndrome (a combo of type 2 and type 3) SLE, Fibromyalgia, I already have low blood pressure etc so what the woman in this video is describing - I already suffer the excruciating pain and now, due to the sepsis, I have osteoarthritis and instead of my extremities (hands/feet) going gangrene it went in to my brain causing necrosis in some of my brain cells and due to that I now have a learning disability and despite having an Honors Degree in Law ive been unable to read a book since then. I wasn’t given a % of survival....I was just told that I could die any minute. I wasn’t fed or given fluids for 3 days as typically a sepsis patient passes on the 3rd day. I went in at 11stone 3oz and came out looking like a lollipop on legs at 9stone 8oz which I haven’t seen since I was about 16yrs. I now suffer from Sepsis Survivor Disorder, I cry over nothing, I’m down all the time, it feels like I’m locked in my own little world. I also have Severe PTSD but no one can help. My life is literally a misery with very little quality of life. I’m always checking my temp as too low or too high can both be indicative of sepsis and do not mistake Septicaemia for Sepsis - they’re not the same. Sepsis is definitely a killer. I can’t lie and say it’s made me want to go out and make a difference....we’ll it has made me want to make the most of each day but with all the health issues I’ve got it’s not possible for me and sepsis does mimic other illnesses/conditions so I wouldn’t know if it was creeping up on me again. All I know is that I’ve little to no quality of life but someone must be watching over me so I try to make the most of each day.... Even if it’s just going live and trying to help others because there’s little more I can do 🤷♀️🥺

Virtually everyone who dies of sepsis is because of cardiac arrest (heart attack). The reason being is the body is so weak, blood pressure drops, so the heart has to work overtime to ty and pump blood. Inevitably, the heart gives out. Just curious, did your mother's death certificate anything about sepsis or was it cardiac arrest? Sorry to hear about your mother.

@Jay-li2pr3 жыл бұрын
Most hospitals don't have hyperbaric chambers so that probably won't be an option. I asked about that early on but Sue was too critical to transport to a hospital with a hyperbaric chamber. If the hospital has one, it may be beneficial but there aren't any studies to my knowledge that show a direct correlation with hyperbaric treatment and improved sepsis outcomes

The Million Dollar Question! Far too many ER doctors don't have sepsis anywhere on their diagnosis checklist and just skim over people's symptoms. We had a HORRIBLE ER doctor who tested for strep and when that was negative (which I told him it would be) he said Sue had a virus. He FAILED to consider her low blood pressure, high heart rate, excruciating pain (she said it felt like a Mack truck had run over her), low urine output, dehydration and fevers over the previous 24 hours. I had no clue about sepsis and no medical background, so we believed what he said. This is why we did the video to try and educate others because the government, medical community and media refuses to do so. Also, sepsis is a cash cow for the hospitals as sepsis accounts for $27 BILLION in the ICUs...considering 18.6% of US hospitals (as of a few years ago so it may have changed) are for-profit hospitals and they have no incentive to diagnose and treat sepsis in a timely manner. Money talks

I’m confused. Why keep the limbs at all after they start to turn black??? Wouldn’t they make the infection worse or at the very least keep it around longer. I would think it best to get those infectious limbs out of the patients body!!
@Jay-li2pr3 жыл бұрын
The doctors wanted to wait to see if the limbs, or a portion of the limbs, could be saved. Also, we had to delay the amputations until Sue was strong enough to survive the surgeries. Her kidneys, lungs and liver had all failed and she had a heart attack, so her body was extremely weak. We kept a close eye on her white blood cell count as her limbs making the infection worse was a definite concern.

So in this case the septicemia was caused by the inflamed throat. Many times, us Eastern Europeans get a sore throat if we drink a lot of cold water with ice or eat a lot of ice cream and the sore throat leads to infection and the untreated infection leads to other medical problems. And you Americans should give up the habit of drinking all kinds of drinks with ice given the fact that you have a lot of cases of septicemia.
@jaystull5515 Жыл бұрын
This had absolutely nothing to do with drinking cold drinks, eating ice, or an inflamed throat. One of the symptoms was a sore throat, but other symptoms included chills, fever, and total body pain. On the first ER visit, my wife rated the pain a 9 out of 10, had a high heart rate, low blood pressure, plus the other symptoms previously identified (she was afebrile at the ER but had a temp of 102.1 within the previous 24 hrs). The 2nd ER visit they started antibiotics before drawing a blood culture, so they were NEVER able to determine the cause of the infection. Please don't speculate on something you know absolutely nothing about
