A woman has told of her experience of sepsis in a bid to warn others of how quickly and unexpectedly it can happen. Serena Jaipaul went from feeling normal to being close to death within hour.
Serena, 44, from Merstham in Surrey, was told, having waited all night for an ambulance, that any further delay would have likely meant she would not have survived.
It was a normal Saturday for Serena, who had been to the hairdressers and out with her boyfriend before heading to stay with a friend overnight. She felt fine when she arrived, but said it was around 5pm that day that she started feeling pain around her kidneys.
