What are things can I do to recover from sepsis

It’s a long road to recover, I had it 9 years ago after a back surgery, needed a second surgery because of it.
Antibiotics for a longer time, I had a pick line when I got home and gave my self antibiotics every 8 hours for weeks.
You need a lot of rest, eat healthy and strengthen your immune system.
Hope you recover soon.

Luckily my mom had a world renowned infectious disease doctor who explained it to me like this, antibiotics kill off all the bugs in the body thereby leaving no good bugs left to police the bad bugs. Sometimes you can get other problems from antibiotics. Please do seek out medical help for a full health check up, blood, pee and poop tests. These things all work together.

Good morning, @jonvalentine36. As I'm a veteran of both a sepsis infection (back in 2025) and large-fiber PN (currently; no pain, but poor balance), the greatest mind-relaxer I discovered was combining my approach to combatting the two disparate but related diseases into one grand approach to therapy. Both sepsis and PN have been playing havoc with my balance. Each disease took (and is taking) its toll. Today, when I meet with my PT or set about my at-home routine, I've quit saying to myself, "What you're about to do will help repair the damage from sepsis," or "These next exercises are to help with your poor balance due to neuropathy." These days I just think, "Let's do everything possible to rebuild leg strength." In other words, rehabbing from two diseases can be long and complicated. I can't stop it from being long, but I can tryto keep it from being too complicated. Good luck to you! –Ray (@ray666)
