I apologize as I did not see your comment until now. How are you doing? I would like to connect and discuss recovery. I too am a sepsis survivor.

Hello. For starters my name is Doug and I'm a young 69 LOL. I have been very active my whole life until this bout with septis. I am however happy to say things are slowly turning around. The major issue is fatigue as I walk across the house and literally have to sit down to catch my breath. Shortness of breath has been a real issue along with the fatigue. This is by far the sickest I have ever been in my life. A few of the other issues that I have dealt with were, waking up every morning soaked in sweat. My taste was completely different and it may seem nuts but mildly spicy food was extremely hot and I couldn't eat it along with my relatively sweet mouthwash, things like that. Also terrible leg cramps in the middle of the night, bowel issues which I won't go into. And other issues that I'm probably forgetting. Anyway things are slowly improving but not fast enough for me. I hope your recovery went smoothly.
