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

Hello!

I’ve been AWOL from the Neuropathy Forum for a while, for 42 days to be exact, from the morning I was taken to the hospital to be diagnosed with a galloping sepsis infection. A few of you may remember me as the 79-year-old fellow in Colorado who, for the past ten years, has been dealing with idiopathic polyneuropathy.

Why am I returning to the Forum this morning? First, I want to say hello after having been away so long, especially to those with whom I have regularly exchanged posts in the past.

Second, to ask if other PNers have suffered with the double whammy: an ongoing struggle with PN, later exceeded in misery by a nasty sepsis infection. What was the experience like? What was your pre-existing PN? Cause of your sepsis? What were your sepsis symptoms? Have you recovered from your sepsis? How long did it take (if you’ve recovered)? Do you consider your sepsis recovery full, partial, or ongoing?

I look forward to any who have or are experiencing what I’m experiencing.

Cheers!
Ray
