Sepsis Survivors

 

People who survive sepsis or septic shock may still experience nagging health concerns. Sometimes, the long-lasting effects are obvious, such as kidney damage or limb amputations, but others are not as noticeable and can include such problems as memory loss or being susceptible to getting ill more quickly and frequently than in the past.

Fighting and surviving sepsis places an enormous strain on your body and much of the damage can be hidden. It’s important for sepsis survivors and those who care for them to understand that this is real and not your imagination. For example, depression is not uncommon, nor is anxiety or forms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you are experiencing health issues that you’ve not had before, hopefully we can give you some of the information you need.

The first in our series, which will be built over the next while, is about sepsis and dementia.
