What is sepsis? 

I’m a sepsis survivor, still going strong 💪👏

My brother in now going through it pray for him to fully recover 🤲

I survived Sepsis. I have a very high pain tolerance, but sepsis is the worst thing I have ever felt. Some part of you wants to die. You're not afraid of the thought of death, but the pain is by far the worst. It took me weeks and weeks, and weeks to recover.

I, too, got sepsis from a kidney stone blockage, in 1992. I was hallucinating and so sick, I thought I was going to die. When you are this ill, you don't care if you die. If fact, you feel sorry that you are going to live. While I have recovered, it took years. There are still some lasting side-affects that will never go away. I believe I'm one tough broad who has defied death on numerous occasions. Stay well.

I lost my dad in 2020 due to sepsis so I wished to learn more about it ....just a reminder please be with ur loved ones while u can cause life is unexpected

So sad for anyone that lost a loved one from this, believe me I know what you are going through. I hope your loved ones are watching over you..

Omg! My brother just got admitted for this. Im asking everyone to pray for him please!!!😪😪

I've just been recovering for sepsis and pneumonia, i was in hospital for days and nights. (im only turning 13 in march). i thought i was only going to the hospital for blood to be taken and a few tests. whilst i was there i didn't know much of what these conditions were. i came home on new year and been recovering since, this video helped me to understand more of what i was described as having, thanks :)

I am a sepsis survivor. I had a lung infection and I started chilling, in a few hours I had high fever but survived. I later found out that it was sepsis. Doctor said I was very lucky.

I hope whoever is reading this finds strength and hope amid all odds and i'm sure you will beat this decease. recently my dad survived septic shock/severe sepsis and now that i've been searching over internet about his condition ,i'm learing how much my dad had to go through. till now i imagine what would have happened if something bad had happened. i'm thankful to god every day that he gave my dad a second chance.

I remember I got sepsis while going through usmc bootcamp, the last 2 weeks I started getting a fever and chills. It was miserable, I cant breath out of my right lung because it was filled with fluid. When I finished the training I finally spoke up and was sent to the hospital after discovering that I was septic. Never again do I wanna go through that

It was just a regular day on Wednesday (it's now Saturday) I got a small tattoo done came back home, went to sleep, woke up the next morning feeling a little unwell but nothing serious. I decided to go back to sleep for a bit as I have M.E and was struggling to stay awake. I woke up about 2 hours later, I was violently and uncontrollably shaking, covered in goosebumbs, had a temperature of 39.2c and felt like I was going to die. Where I had my tattoo done was red/purple in colour, was extremely swollen, hot to touch and was so so painful. I was rushed to a&e where they found that my blood pressure was very low, I had a high temperature and after a blood test they confirmed that I had sepsis (blood poisoning). I stayed in hospital for 24 hours feeling like I was going to die, I started getting chest pains and severe migraines. I was hooked up to an I-V and was given the strongest antibiotics in the hospital, painkillers, anti sickness, rehydration fluids and a load of other medications that I don't know the name of. Thankfully they let me come home last night. I've been put on bed rest until I'm better which could be weeks. Im on a strict medication schedule and I'm in agony and am to traumatised to ever get another tattoo. I could have died if I hadn't of gone to a&e. Even though a tattoo shop may look clean and reputable, it doesn't mean that they always are. Just want to spread awareness of sepsis and how it starts.

My sister got sepsis from her strep throat, she was so close to death, it is horrible to know that you cant help the person you love. All those who suffered sepsis, you came out stronger and those whose family members have passed I am sorry for your loss.

I’m glad to see all these people that have survived sepsis, unfortunately my uncle wasn’t so lucky...

Hello everyone! I am recovering from sepsis and I am now out the hospital. Pain & infection is gone but I cannot help feeling so emotional everyday. I was so terrified when i found out i had sepsis and i actually thought about never going home again, and what my mom and boyfriend would feel if i were no longer here... 😢 I feel so thankful and happy I am still here.. i could never take it for granted. I am so emotional about it all still, and I'm home now but I am still recovering. I thank God I am still here and that my white blood count went down to normal levels. Thanking God for helping me heal and sparing me... giving me another chance. Please if any of you looked this video up because you have an infection... please go see the ER immediately!!! I waited way too long & i made the mistake of going to an urgent care facility instead of the hospital.... They gave me a prescription for Bactrim but wouldn't lance it.. later on, i found out from multiple hospital doctors that they SHOULD HAVE lanced it then and there, and the antibiotics won't work until the abcess is drained!! I had symptoms of sepsis already while i was there, but they didn't pick up on it. They just thought i was dehydrated... even though they did diagnose cellulitis and an infected abcess. The urgent care NP told me if my abcess didn't drain on its own in 3 days to come back, and they would cut it open... well, nope, 3 days went by, and i went to the hospital instead... and im glad i did because i had sepsis!!!! 😮😢 If urgent care would have lanced it 3 days later like they planned, they would have sent me home while i had sepsis, and I'd have died !!!! Please dont go to an urgent care for an infection!! If it's painful and swollen for more than 2 days... go to the hospital!! It's better to be safe than sorry, and i definitely learned my lesson. Every doctor in the hospital from the ER to the surgical floor expressed immense dislike of the urgent care facilities. 😢 i waited too long & it could have cost me my life... i am so thankful i am still here and so thankful for the ER doctor who cut and drained it and all the nurses who gave me my IV antibiotics & fluids.... i pray all of you who land on this video find health and care 🙏🏼 ❤️

I’m recovering from a kidney infection, truly the worst pain I’ve ever felt and worried about sepsis. This is very scary

My mother passed from sepsis brought on most likely by a UTI. She had all these symptoms and didn't go to the hospital until it was too late.

Condolences to all that lost their loved ones to sepsis 🙏

Part of my intestine got blocked and ended up becoming completely blocked and had died due to lack of blood flow. I went in to the ER at first in severe pain and the doctor sent me home and told me I was just constipated. About 4-6 hours later I was vomiting profusely and knew something was wrong. (This wasn’t my first time having a blocked intestine.) I came back, and the same doctor was still working, and when they ran tests on me my white blood cell count was through the roof. I was in septic shock. I remember the doctor looked horrified like he’d reallly fucked up. I ended up having to have an emergency surgery on Christmas Day that ended up taking 6 hours. There was a high chance I was going to die. I had to have blood and plasma transfusions and my lung collapsed twice and I was in ICU for three days on a ventilator. But somehow made it out. That surgeon saved my life. The next time I saw that ER doctor (I’m in and out of the ER a lot due to my health issues), he had this look on his face and just apologized.

I will never forget that day in 2018 when my son stayed in the nicu for a month we went home the next day he had an appointment and the night before he was sleeping a lot and couldn’t wake up for feeding I took him to his appointment and after they checked him he was taking to the emergency room right away I thank god the clinic was inside the hospital. Once we we’re at ER he couldn’t breath so many things were going on in the room they asked me to leave the room my whole body was shaking I was confuse I was alone there I had no idea what was going on. They probably explained to me afterward but I wasn’t paying attention to all of it he was admitted back at the hospital for 10 days. He is going to be 4 years old in August 27. I still thank god until today.

Thank you; I really appreciated your beautiful video❤

I'm just amazed by the many types of health problems we can face worldwide.Sepsis being one of so many illnesses that can befall us.A pipe dream being that countries fund more research into these many deseases.

My Dad recently passed away from sepsis 4 weeks ago. I pray for anyone going through this a well and speedy recovery.

Yea I just got out of hospital it was the worst time in my life so lucky to b alive i thank god for that

I'm proud to be a sepsis survivor ✊

The granddaughter of the richest man in my country died of sepsis, this is the reason why I watch this video to understand.

Sepsis survivor and i am so thankful to be here still.

My 7 years old nephew died because of Sepsis a month ago 😭😢 im still searching now what is Sepsis 😭😭😭 he stayed 38 Days in Hospital.

I had sepsis in 2014 and it got bad that they had to do a blood transfusion and I still go back there now all of those things happened to me (my lungs collapsed, kidney failure £

I had it after colon cancer surgery. My colon burst and it set in. I was in a coma and on a ventilator for almost 3months!

Actually my lovely grandma has it right now.. I hope that there are any little chances that she will be fine again.. She doesn't deserve it. Spend a loooot of time with your family members or people who you love because, you won't even know when the bad time will come to them.. I'm wishing all of you and your families a lot of health and love. God bless you❤️

my nephew died today because of Sepsis. :(

I had a liver abscess and I was treated for it, and also sepsis in the blood, I survived after being in the hospital 45 days it was definitely a nightmare!!!!!!!!

Came to see this because of Joanne Rand, a mother who died in the UK from an acid attack, this truly is sad.

I had sepsis while i was 4 months old im still shocked that i survived

Also a Sepsis survivor....just. Peace and love everyone 👍😉👌

I went septic due to mastitis. I didn’t understand the severity of my situation until I looked up these videos. I realize how lucky I am to be alive..

I just got out of the hospital for pneumonia/sepsis. It was awful. I'm still in a lot of pain, but I'm getting there little by little.

I had sepsis in June it was awful my left kidney was so swollen with infection the pain and shivering was so awful would not and hope I do not get it again hospital was marvellous and I was one of the lucky ones after having many intravenous antibiotics after many days went home thank god

I got sepsis one and I didn’t know, I did shiver and get sick but I though it was just a cold until I noticed my temperature was 40 degrees + then I went to the hospital and got treatment. If I just shook it off, I wouldn’t be sharing this.

I ended up ICU for over a week on a vent under sedation bc of this from a kidney stone. If the drs would have caught it the 1st time i went to ER I would not have ended up on my death bed. I have a 4 and 6 yr old son. My husband was deployed and my parents had to drive across the US and hope they would get to me on time. I had a less then 5 % chance to live. Sepsis is no joke. I am now terrified of what can happen if I ever get a kidney stone or any other sickness again.

I was treated for sepsis a week ago. The shivering and somehow gotten lactic acid building up troughout the body. The nurses tried to get blood samples, they didn't realize blood clots were preventing blood flow. Did get an anticoagulant drug hours later.

My grand mother has pneumonia and sepsis and im scared what could happen to her she is in the usa taking medication and have not seen her like 7 years. I really miss her and want too see her and bond with her physically because we always video call due to here being in america but now after her complications we cant do it and its been like 4 months from now or more since our last video call where she is in good health. I really hope for recovery and I hope that god blesses and her and I hope things are not too late because my father is going to america to visit my grandma(*his mother) and his conversation with my aunt is like shes telling that he should rush everything and telling that their mother is in pain and weakening its just so sad to read their conversation because if something happens to her it would really break my fathers heart because he has not seen her for 7 years and more and they only went home for vacation like 3 months or less i dont remember and i was still young 9 years old and we should have made the most out of it. :'(

Stay strong grace u believe in you

My dad is in hospital with sepsis at the moment. Thank you for this video.

Wonderful video. I have it also, painful in my feet. I had a ingrown toenail removed and sepsis moved in! 🤢 Doctors here not taking me seriously because they can’t “see” the infection.

I had to come find out what this was after it took my mom from me

i was just diagnosed with this but luckily i went to the hospital after 1 and a half days of having a fever, i’m taking antibiotics now and feel better

I lost my wife to sepsis fed 16 2018😞 & she was only 27.

My mother died. From sepsis shock she was in a neses home for Rebhab and she got this from the nesese home. She died on September 16 2018. I need to know more about sepsis shock

thanks

I felt crappy and went to the emergency room. They did blood work and told me i had sepsis. They gave me some IV antibiotics and I felt better. They sent me home on Cipro and I went back to work the next day. No big deal if they diagnose it early and give you the right meds.

I had sepsis that was caught pretty early. I had ignored a UTI. All of a sudden I was extremely confused and had trouble breathing. Thankfully my daughter was home and called 911. I didn't care if I lived or died at that point. I was too exhausted to care.

I have the flu right now, very bad infection going on as of Feb. 2018. I heard that the flu can cause it so I'm honestly really scared that I could get it. My biggest fear is dying not knowing that I've done everything I could in this life

I am worried that I might have sepsis because I have sores on my hands

Reading the comments is terrifying as it is sounds like we can get it any time!

I got sepsis and my problem was breathing difficulties and I couldnt sleep at night cause I couldnt breath at night and I got pneumonia from it and it damaged my heart valve and I had to have a heart operation and my valve replaced and they saw at the same time 60 % blockage in one of my tubes so they fixed that as well since they were in my chest and I was in the hospital for 6 weeks and they had a tube going into my arm and into my heart putting anti medicine in me 4 times a day. I survived even though the heart doctor said I had very small chance of surviving. I first went to the hospital on September 11, 2017 and now today it is April 20 2018

Thanks

Still suffering from this. Not only this.

My dad just passed away from Sepsis 🥺 He was diagnosed with pneumonia acouple days before 😣

Interesting facts.

I just had Pneumonia, but I don't have any of the symptoms so I think I'm good. if you have sepsis, I wish you luck.

My grandmother is dying because of sepsis. As i man I can’t cry out loud but to appear strong.

I just got home from a 5 day stay at the hospital from sepsis. I’m going through chemo for breast cancer. That last treatment did me in and I developed sepsis. 1 treatment left and now I’m too scared to get it

Thanks a lot

my dad has had sepsis 3 separate times, and he is only 43. he's currently in the emergency room because he thinks he has it again

This killed Phil Lynott my favorite rocker, whoever survived this I wish you a long healthy life from then in

Grace o donavon how did u get sepsis ... was it through a transmitted disease

My mother just got diagnosed with sepsis a few days ago, and she has arthritis. The worst is over she says but it's very scary knowing she is diagnosed with something that can kill her.

My Grandmother died 2 days ago on 25 DECEMBER.😥 She had a really small wound on her leg and she get infected from There. We tried so hard , done surgery, spend so much money to save her but after trying for a month, we lost her. I am watching to this video to find Reasons why it happend,but she will be with me FOREVER...❤

I had this horrible backache 2 months ago and I thought it's just a simple backache! I remember after 1 day I couldn't walk because of it and suddenly I started to vomit and my breath was rapid. I had this low blood pressure as well. I was rushed to the hospital by my parents and the worst part of it? They thought I had a panic attack! With no blood test they just prescribed some anxiety tabs! I had to visit different hospitals and after 1 week of pure pain and fear I was diagnosed with a severe UTI which led to sepsis. Although I was not hospitalized I had to take antibiotics for 2 weeks. Although after 2 months I'm fine I still follow my checkups. My ESR levels are still high and I'm trying my best. Wish me luck

Best basic explanation

MY PA P.A BCOS OF THIS 😭😭😭💔 STILL CAN'T ACCEPT IT..

My father died from sepsis!!

Good for yousurvivors.of sepsis God bless you

I have a question! So when I was 4 I had a urinary track infection that turned into a kidney infection. I alarmist died. I was hallucinating and had a fever of 106. Anyway, life moved on and I kept getting regular fevers that were 103-104. I still get them and I was wondering if that's a sign of anything. Is that my immune system fighting off another minor infection? I feel like I get fevers more often than others, about every couple months or so. I only get fevers, no other symptoms. Can anyone explain this please?

I am 48, female, a long history of cramping and diarrhea.plus my husband having kidney cancer and sepsis.However I was able to control both with Imodium until January. I have been in severe pain since middle of January and have lost 20 pounds. The pain has progressively gotten worse. It started as a “bladder infection” pain, but all urinary tests came up negative. I even had a CT and ultrasound done. I then had a colonoscopy and upper endoscopy done which the results are most likely Crohn’s disease but I’m waiting for blood test results to confirm, the Prometheus test was done. However I am still in a lot of pain, I have pressure also, all of it right above my bladder. The pain is as bad as my childbirth labor was. I have had a total hysterectomy, appendectomy, gall bladder removed also. Also, I have this weird sensation of a string pulling through my genitals. That’s the best way to describe it, but it kind of feels like a nerve or tendons being pulled. There is also throbbing in my abdomen and genitals. I have also been to my gynecologist, nothing abnormal shown as I figured with my hysterectomy. I believe I am at least gluten intolerant, but tests show I am on borderline of celiac disease. I have been trying to correlate the pain with something and I noticed as my bladder fills up, the pain increases. But here’s probably the biggest clue, when doing the prep for my colonoscopy, as soon as my bowels were clear, I had no pain, not even when my bladder filled up. I didn’t start hurting again until hours after eating again the following day when my bowels filled up again. Also, I noticed that when I take Imodium for diarrhea I hurt more, probably because the stool is sitting in there instead of going right then. i was then introduced to a chinese herbalist Dr sale bashiru i got the herbs and oil a long with my husband kidney cancer just about 3 months past without pains and symptoms and my husband fully cured also.here is my email. chamcheng362@gmail.com

I have had a uti for idk how long and now I have a knot/cyst on the back of MY ear lobe with green puss and very very painful. What should I do
