September has numerous awareness illnesses/diseases, a number of them apply to me! One of them is sepsis. Last February/March I went septic and had two bouts of septic shock. Very scary, as they had a hard time getting my blood pressure stabilized and I ended up getting 7L of fluid, plus vasopressers, and very strong IV antibiotics.
I stumbled upon the Sepsis Alliance and they had a section where one could share your story. I did just that and they've used mine to highlight the day, today, chosen for the main awareness!
My story can be found here:
