Hello lovelies looking through my camera roll I thought I'd share these.. While covid is a virus we need to be mindful of, especially when you're vulnerable to illness and unable to have the vaccine. Sepsis is another immune system response to be aware of also. The cause of Sepsis (for me) was a result of double Pneumonia I came in with bacterial Pneumonia & caught viral Pneumonia the 2nd time while still in hospital. This is where I can see the resemblance between sepsis and severe covid (leading to more covid deaths as there's plenty of info on covid Pneumonia & Sepsis)of those who passed of Covid as a result of having Sepsis. I'm not downplaying or minimising any experiences especially of a loved ones passing of covid. But I can see the very familiar pattern in my own experience. I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear from any covid warrior who survived sepsis (experiencing very similar issues to me) to say, they'd experienced PTSD too) I had Severe Sepsis shock twice. Complications from this included clots on the lungs (due to the trauma) pluresy, 2 blood transfusions, NORAD treatment for my blood pressure. Kidney dysfunction respiratory failure twice drains in my lungs & heart on life support twice including being intubated for a month. I wore cpap oxygen hood the first time round. I was in a coma twice & last rites were given as I weren't expected to survive. In the end they had to hope the coma would help my immune system to start fighting again as my kidneys stopped working as well as my lungs.. My final point all these complications are avoidable if you catch Sepsis early and a full recovery can be made. Post Sepsis I have chronic pain and PTSD and anxiety attached to this. I have Critical Illness Polyneuropathy (CIP) Costochrondritis severely damaged and scarred lungs & heart, Post Sepsis Syndrome, a progressive lung condition aswell as living with GORD/GERD (Acid Reflux) Hypothyroid Reactive Hypoglycemia and Prediabetes aswell as my sight is damaged. I have missed other conditions out to avoid this being longer. Sepsis is a individual journey. I didn't have mottled skin. You don't need to have EVERY symptom to diagnose #Sepsis. #sepsiskills https://www.instagram.com/nellythevegan/p/CY8h487FGRQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
