Post sepsis syndrome, can someone help me start over?
I survived septic shock just to find myself alone my family was told it was alcoholism I can't remember anything except I was 2 days from amputation when I fell and broke all but one rib on my left side. My medical records say septic shock but they won't budge. So now I have (PSS). And don't know what to do next with life sepsis took my skills in life and left me a shell of a person. I'm scared everyday and have panic attacks. I drive aimlessly everyday trying to find my way out. After 32 days in an induced coma on full ventilator help I had(ARDS) ,(AKF), and heart failure was coming on fast. I survived and now I am lost and too frightened to go see a doctor. I am afraid, please help me find peace

I hope my comments may help with your family issues. I don’t know your background, but my husband has always been a loving father and husband. I can see now, how his medical issues, and his Post Intensive care issues, changed his body’s chemistry. And that his memory issues started then. The nightly drink just blurred the issue. And it wasn’t him. He always knew when to stop, and it never affected his mental state, the way it did, after all of these traumatic things happened to him. I would get very irritated at times with him. But I never fully understood, what was happening to him.
And he continued to be a loving husband through it all.

1 Reaction@jeffsharieit absolutely helps, every word helps , just talking helps . I gwt very y sad every day that I have no family and I can't seem my grandchildren grow. Sometimes I cry it seems every tear my body can make. I wish I could find a dr. who understood. Most of them tell me its all hogwash. I think I know more than they do from the amount of research I've done. But don't say that, they get offended.
