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.

I'm tagging @dbrima to make sure they see your encouraging post, @smokeychip1.

There's no doubt that sepsis and serious illness in ICU affects not only the patient, but family and those supporting them. @smokeychip1, have you heard of post intensive care syndrome (PICS) and post intensive care syndrome family (PICS-F)?
