Good morning, @centre

Yours was one of the most encouraging messages I have received in a long, long time. Thank you so very much! I especially appreciate hearing that you’ve been following my “sepsis journey.” I had debated with myself whether to include it; after all, this is the Neuropathy forum. I had hoped to ease my concern by showing how my recent sepsis attack had intruded upon my long-standing dealings with neuropathy.

I know many here on Connect have multiple maladies. Coming to understand that truly humbled me. For the longest time, I was a fellow with only one malady: my large fiber neuropathy. In my naiveté, I hadn’t imagined getting a second malady. But then along came my sepsis. I am pleased to say that my sepsis symptoms appear to be fading.

I still have some shortness of breath (something I’d never had when my one malady was my neuropathy). I’ve come to accept that I may have shortness of breath for some time, perhaps for the rest of my life. I’m okay with that. I still have balance “issues,” but whether they’re merely neuropathy hangers-on or a pre-existing difficulty that was made worse by the sepsis, I don’t know.

But I’m getting stronger every day, and that cheers me. I’m foreseeing the day when my posts here will have only to do with my neuropathy.

Thank you again for your bolstering words! They were much, much, MUCH appreciated!

To your good health!

Very best wishes,
