Maisie first noticed her symptoms while on holiday in Milan
A young woman who tried to treat her mild urinary infection with just 'water and cranberry juice' was rushed to hospital after developing deadly sepsis. Maisie Lewis, 20, tried to 'flush out' the urinary tract infection for four days after first noticing that she needed to use the toilet more frequently.
"People need to know how bad things can get. My body went through so much in such a short space of time." "I had hardly any side effects at first," Maisie said. "All I noticed was that I needed to use the loo more. That was literally it. Within two weeks of first noticing the 'mild' UTI, Maisie began having hot and cold flashes, as well as dizziness and shakiness. She told her parents and they rushed her to the Prince of Wales Hospital in Bridgend with suspected sepsis.
Maisie even began to hallucinate - changes in mental state, including confusion and disorientation, are common symptoms of sepsis according to the NHS. She says her life flashed before her eyes in the style of an 'old film reel' - and she could see herself growing up. She was discharged after six nights - but it took weeks for Maisie to get back on her feet - and she lost out on a lot of work due to exhaustion. She said: "It took two weeks for me to feel normal again - my job means I’m on my feet all the time, and my kidney infection and sepsis took a big chunk of my working life.
