TSS at the age of 12 ...?

Question

Does this sound like i have TSS

I used tampons for my last few periods (but not the perioI'mim on now)

And today i have started to feel sick

A in the morning if i sat down and then got up all i could see was blotches of black and then my eye sight starts to go clear (maybe low bloopressurere?)

Is this TSS ??

Please help ..I'm really scared

Thank you

Answer 1

I don't think so. The symptoms of TSS are fever, a rash all over your body, vomiting, diarrhea and you would feel weak or faint because of significant drop in blood pressure. Also your eyes or v****a may appear bright red.

It's also unlikey that you would only be having symptoms now, they would show up right after you used tampons.

And as long as you use them correctly you should be fine. TSS is really rare these days thanks to better made tampons. Don't worry. You're fine.  

It sounds like you're just experiencing goes along with having your period.

Answer 2

it doesnt sound like tss. if youre on your period right now, it could be because of the loss of blood that makes you feel sick achy and get blackouts. it does to me sometimes. you could also have low blood pressure like you mentioned. adding that to having your period can make you have all those symptoms as well.

tss is similar to having the flu. like the symptoms you should be worried about are things like a high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, fainting, or a rash. those are the immediate symptoms.

honestly, i dont think its tss. i dont think you have to worry. unless you get the symptoms listed above.  

Answer 3

im not no doctor

but when you go into toxic shock syndrome you can tell its not achs or pains i think you go into shock hense the SHOCK syndrome,

it normally only occures if you have worn a tampon over 8 hours its the bad bacteria that causes it.

Anyhelp? Hope so, yourr fine =]

Answer 4

Wearing a tampon for over 8 hours can cause it. Check in with your mom or a parent/gaurdian. This might be serious. But this doesnt sound like TSS. You might want to ask someone to take you to the doctor and have that checked on. Good luck. And i hope its not anything serious.
