▲ 16 r/sepsis

Anyone else just not bouncing back after having sepsis? I feel like I am slowly getting worse, bit by bit. Definitely was doing more when I just got home from the hospital vs. now. I just can't.

Is there some magical elixir? (That would be nice). Idk anymore. I tried seeing the doctor. Nope, don't care to do that again if I can help it. Anything people do on their own to recover? Is it just wait and die now? If this is how I am going to feel forever, I don't think there is any quality to it.

Really don't know what to do anymore. Pain is too much every day.

Really feeling hopeless and down constantly. Feel like there are no options left. Have tried everything under the sun. I can't do this every day, just rolling around and rocking back and forth, crying in pain.

Anyone in the air quality alert zones noticing increased symptoms or is it just me?

If you have increased vertigo/dizziness, have you found something useful for relief, and would you share your solutions, please?

Any advice? Ordered Tens pads 4+ months ago got open package. They replaced for 'free'. Now they charged my credit card without permission for the replacement they sent for 'free"

I have been all over the site and there is no way to contact customer service about this problem. It is $20 and I don't want to get in trouble with my credit card company for chargebacks. Amazon did one of their things where they sent something they had previously sold to someone and then sent it to me. I complained and then they sent out another replacement for 'free'. I contacted someone in customer support and they PROMISED they would not come back months later and charge me. Here it is 4 months later and they want their used Avalon Tens pads back. The company said they would replace them. I tried to contact the company through the Amazon page and it forces me to the Amazon loop which does not function. Options from here? It looks like I am just out of luck. Buyer beware. Amazon will promise to replace things for free and then over 4 months later take the money from a persons account and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

Mini PBN from A (not sure if company is allowed)

Took about a week, maybe 2, of diligent painting to finish for me. I am slow, I think. This is not a full-sized item. These come prestretched on frames if anyone wants to know.

Anyone know how to discontinue 300mg after 20+ years of use?

It is just too difficult to get from the pharmacy and problems at home, etc. Trying to get refills and upsetting doctors and everyone else. It would be best if I just stop taking all of my prescriptions. What is the best way to stop this as quickly as possible? I am just done hearing everyone and fighting for medicine. Any ideas on substitutions I can get on my own? I need something but don't need the flack. TIA

Tapering 60mg for about 25 years? Have to stop it and all prescription medicine now.

Just too difficult to get medicine from pharmacies and doctors' offices. Will be coming off the rest of my prescriptions at the same time. I am done fighting for these things and being treated like a criminal for stomach pills and things like that. (Not controlled meds-not on them). Just want to be done with all of it and never go to the pharmacy or see a pharmacist in my life ever again or call a pharmacy ever again. I never want to be yelled at for trying to get a refill on something I take on a regular basis that they told me to take. I never want to have my partner be upset about these things because I am disabled and have medicine. I am sick of the rages. Just done with all of it.

Wondering if it is just me or does anyone else have trouble getting medications from the pharmacy as a disabled person? (not controlled-just regular medications).

I don't know if it has something to do with my insurance or that I take multiple medications or what it is. It seems like they enjoy not providing medications recently or in more recent times. It seems or maybe my interpretation that things are just more openly hostile. Is it me? Is anyone else going through this? Maybe it is just me. I am thinking of just stopping meds it is that bad. Really. It is just too difficult to obtain them now. I am done fighting for stomach pills and the depression trying to get the pills is offset by the antidepressants (or please understand what I am trying to say) Ughghgh.

Constantly out of my mind in pain. Medical system does not treat pain. I don't know what to do anymore. Is there anything left to do?

I sincerely can't take it and do not know of any more options.

What to do when you cannot take the pain anymore and there is no help from the medical system?

Have several issues, including trigeminal neuralgia, shingles, and traumatic fractures that didn't heal properly, post-sepsis, and other problems (CRPS). I am on my own to deal with the pain now. I can't take it. I've tried maxing out OTC, gadgets, meditation, yoga, therapy, distraction, denial, you name it. Now all I do is cry and lie in bed. Hopeless. Any last-ditch ideas? I can't take the pain anymore. Medical system will not help. They do not help people in pain. They do not care. People in pain do not matter to them, so please do not suggest pursuing that route because it will not work. I am on my own or with the help here.
