Is anyone familiar with the health problem called sepsis?

I've only read that it is a poor circulation problem and I like to ask if anyone knows the symptoms or what it may look like, feel like in the lower leg and foot area/ I'd like to ask for any info before seeing my doctor. Thank You

Sepsis is infection in the body. It is not just an individual part or condition.
I have a question, Do you have discoloration in your lower limbs? Do you have browning of your skin? they will start out looking like freckles and then they just increase. If all of this is you. You will want to be sure to ask your Dr to send you to see a CardioVascular Physician. My mom has delt with this for year. This is a progressive problem and sooner or later you can also end up with external ulcerations on your legs &/or feet. My mom is in the hospital right now with all of this.
Sepsis is a term that is thrown around at many infections. Basically it is when you have infection that travels through your body. It is a very generic term.
What it sounds like to me, when you said circulatory problems, is that you may have PAD (Peripheral Artery Disease) or PVD (Peripheral Vascular Disease). This is usually a fancy way of saying bad circulation. The blood is able to go down, but not as able to come back up from your lower extremities.
Elevate your feet every chance you get. I mean way up there. Also, avoid standing on cement if possible. Avoid lengthy car rides where you are unable to move about. Get to your Family Dr and ask to be referred to a CardioVascular Dr. This is not something that will go away, but there are things that can be done to help and to make things easier on you.

Are you diabetic? Please get to your doctor - better yet, get to an Emergency room ASAP - sepsis is nothing to mess with. DO NOT WAIT!!!! Sepsis can be fatal if you do not get treated soon enough.

Sepsis is not due to poor circulation, although that can be a contributing factor. Sepsis is a general term for bacterial infection. The infection can be local (like a septic wound) or systemic (septic blood). Sepsis can very dangerous, as your body can go into septic shock, where your major organs fail, if the infection is large enough. Diabetics are prone to sepsis because their disease predisposes them to infection and compromised circulation.
Toxic shock syndrome is a form of sepsis. Sepsis must be treated with (usually) intravenous antibiotic therapy in a hospital and is not to be taken lightly. If you have fever, chills, reddened warm and swollen skin or a cut that is not healing, you need to see a hospital immediately. Sepsis can kill quickly.

simply ,living bacteria in blood stream that body can not eliminate.the physician will diagnose it as only vague symptoms may appear ,certaily not in the feet!

"Sepsis is a severe illness caused by overwhelming infection of the bloodstream by toxin-producing bacteria.....Sepsis is often life-threatening, especially in people with a weakened immune system or other medical illnesses....Septic patients usually require monitoring in an intensive care unit (ICU). "Broad spectrum" intravenous antibiotic therapy should be initiated as soon as sepsis is suspected."

You cannot diagnose sepsis, only your doctor can, and it's very serious. Good luck

Sepsis means infection or infected. ie septic wound = wound sepsis. Anything - almost ending with 'is' is septic ie tonsilit'is' = infection of the tonsils. Appendisit'is' = infection of the appendix ... phlebit'is' = infection of the veins. and so on I put the is in the words as 'is' to help explain it to you.
Sepsis is NOT a problem of the circulation BUT PHLEBITIS is see above.

My dad had a operation for a hernia and later developed a infection .He had passed away shortly after. He had sepsis and it completely took over his body .

Sepsis is an infection in the blood, it can be caused by one of any number of bacterial organisms or toxins. You may have had or have a local infection in your foot or leg which, if unattended, can cause celllulitis, which is the infection. The bacteria can spread into the blood causing sepsis. This is a systemic disease and should be treated immediately as sepsis could lead to more serious conditions. SEE YOUR DOCTOR NOW!

Sepsis is a total blood stream infection. Usually the last stage of infection before you die.
