First peripheral neuropathy … and now a sepsis infection? $%*&#@

Hi Ray
Sorry to hear about the sepsis event! I am a 65 year old male who was diagnosed at the Mayo clinic with "characteristics" of SFN in both feet. Last fall I had a nasty fungus develop in my right ear. It took about 6 weeks working with an ENT specialist to resolve the fungus. Then I had mouth sores for about three weeks followed up with a bout with cellulitis that landed me in the hospital for a short stay. In all three cases the doctors could not determine the cause for each issue. Not sure but seems like my immune system was not working correctly. Unfortunately, I am still trying to figure out why my system is unable to fend off the infections. I have an appointment with a functional medicine doctor in August to hopefully figure out my system. Sorry I do not have any answers, just a similar experience. Best wishes with your recovery!
Mark

Hi, Mark (@mfullbri)

Thanks for your post! Yes, this is quite the runaround we find ourselves in.

Yours is the second post that has mentioned "fungus" in conjunction with a sepsis event. The word has me curious.

This will have to be a short-ish reply only because I'm leaving (with a friend's help) to have a first meeting with yet another wound specialist at a local hospital. The wild infection I'd fought for the past two months and seemed to be in retreat suddenly appeared to have dug in its heels. A new tactic (i.e., antibiotic) may be needed.

I'm sorry to have to rush off, but I'm glad I found your post. I wish you well, Mark. I'll be watching for your posts.

Cheers!
Ray
