@jennylieb, would you say that post-sepsis syndrome has similarities to post-intensive care syndrome?
See more info in this Mayo Clinic blog

You're right that many doctors don't have training in PICS, however it is recognized at Mayo Clinic. It can also affect family members as you too have been through the trauma.

It is encouraging to hear that your husband's PT learned more about PSS to treat him according to his abilities to promote healing rather than making things worse. How is he doing with the acupuncture treatments?

Hi! He had only 1 acupuncture and the provider said to let her know if he noticed any benefit, I will say he actually had a good day this week. This was after he took an Epson salt bath, and he’s been putting magnesium lotion on the bottoms of his feet. We will see if that continues to help!! 🙏🙏🙏
