I went to the hospital for pneumonia and was treated overnight with the course of antibiotic drip. (Sepsis and Pneumonia) I was released the next day, given antibiotics and steroids to take. They did not give me any probiotic.

I ended up getting a colon infection and went to the emergency room. They diagnosed it as diverticulitis and gave me more antibiotics. I finally ended up shaking so bad that I passed out, fell to the floor and broke a rib. I was rushed to the emergency only to be put in the waiting room.

When I saw the triage nurse, I told her that I passed out. They rushed me to the back and asked for urine sample. It was brown like mud. They took a blood sample and told me I’d be staying for a while. My white blood cell count high, jumped to 30,000.

I spent 11 days in the hospital, seven days without food because of the roaring diarrhea. I have suffered from fatigue in every sense. I recently had a prostate biopsy and I had sepsis again. This time I spent four days in the hospital. The doctor told me I was very sick. She didn’t need to bother, I already knew.

They gave me 12 days of antibiotics to take when I got out of the hospital. Meanwhile my family physician discharged me so I could not find another doctor in my system for follow-up care, and had to run outside the system the day of my follow up appointment to find a new doctor. They were trying to hide the things that happened the first time. They didn’t even tell me about the broken rib. Another doctor told me about it later. It’s been a month now and I have a UTI and prostate infection. I was about to become sepsis again. I can’t even get up and walk from one room to another without breathing hard and becoming extremely fatigued. That’s my story.
