I am so >scared, TSS is a serious matter. Advice? Kimi, TSS usually comes on suddenly and includes a fever, but does have some of the symptoms you describe. I would call your doctor back right away and tell him what has happened. If no one is in the office, head straight to the ER. Don't be scared, just go. Don't wait for an answer from a doctor on this forum- they may not come on due to the holiday weekend. Perhaps the E.R. will start you on antibiotics as a precaution.
