Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this staph sepsis that you had way back in march and the current symptoms you have reported.

Staph sepsis is not typically known to cause these symptoms. Possibly relating this to staph sepsis may make us to miss out on a possible cause that may need medical attention.

I will suggest that you get evaluated fully by a neurologist for possible causes of these symptoms. If a cause is found, then specific treatment would be proposed for this. If nothing can explain these symptoms, then monitoring a little longer to gather more information would be worth it. Other measures on how to cope and minimize the impact of these symptoms would be addressed.

In all, not typical of a post staph sepsis. I would suggest you get fully evaluated for this by a neurologist. Treatment would depend on findings and final diagnosis.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
