I woke up this morning and felt really funny. I have read about TSS and am afraid i have it. But i will be totally embarressed if i dont because i know i shouldnt have worn tampons at night but i just fell asleep watchin tv and never got back up. Now since i felt funny, i looked at the symptoms and have some of them. What should I do ?

Hi,
TSS is toxic shock syndrome and nothing funny about this syndrome as it is due to absorption of toxins which commonly happens with wearing tampoons because it increase the chances of infection if you have this syndrome you wont be writing here instead you were in ER.
Take care
