I have a heart disease. I am only 34. I went into the hospital for a heart procedure and got sepsis and then septic shock. It has been 2 years and I have since had open heart surgery. But there are many things that are not the same about me. I anger easily, I cannot make quick decisions, I have a child on the spectrum and can’t seem to gather the strength to play with him. I am disinterested in everything. My medicines don’t work the same on me as they did before septic shock. I have been hospitalized many times since then and get terrible panic attacks where my family says I say cruel and mean things to them and the doctors and nurses. It’s a great concern

My fiancé does the same as you. He was in the hospital in September 2024 with sepsis from urinary track infection and inflamed prostate. He was in the hospital for about a week, but was extremely sick. It's been really hard and frustrating trying to handle and figure out the side effects and symptoms of post sepsis. He's getting better physically but mentally with all the symptoms I am hearing from other survivors are really difficult at times. Thanks for sharing I pray things will get better for you. I had to change his diet what he eats. No caffeine and too many sweets cases his mood swings and "lack of memory episodes" to increase. Try to cook healthier plenty of vegetables fruits Gatorade vitamins and lean meats. We are scheduled finally to see a neurologist in a few months. However stories like yours have helped me to understand this disorder better.
