Girls help me please! THIS URGENT! i may possibly have TSS...?

ok first of all I am 14 years old, my period started when i 12 a week b4 a turned 13. OK my problem is during my period i have a really bad stomache ache, cramps, i feel dizzy, i have diarrhea and feel like im about to faint when i stand up. When my period first started, all this happened to me and continued to happen till today. I used pads back then, then switched to tampons, then back to pads then tampons.... Ya anyway there%26#039;s a disease called TSS, and the symptoms are vomiting, diarrhea, sunburn-like rash, muscle achs and near fainting while standing.... i really don%26#039;t know whether i have this disease... (tss stands for toxic shock syndrome) you get it when u leave your tampon in too long and it%26#039;s absorbs too much, that has happened to me alot so i think i may have this tss thing... i don%26#039;t know what to do... all that stuff happened to me ever since the first day of my period when i DIDN%26#039;T use tampons... so what should i do?? HELP!!!!! and i am in pain now as i type this...........
Girls help me please! THIS URGENT! i may possibly have TSS...?
well considering that this happened to you when you wore only pads also, I doubt it is tss, I honestly believe that if you have tss you would know it. I heard about this one girl that had it and its a disease from leaving your tampon in too long like u said, but she couldn%26#039;t even get out of bed....so I don%26#039;t really think thats your problem I%26#039;d say you just have really bad pms. Listen sweetie if your that concerned about it have your mom take you to the doctor...dont worry if it worries her. Tss is serious and you can die from it...Best of luck!

So right this very minute you are vomitting, diarreah, and a rash? Then you should go tell your parents immediatly and they need to take you to the ER.

Reply:you only have TSS if you leave the tampon in for like 14 hours, if you did, then go see a doctor. if you didnt youre fine
Reply:Toxic Shock Syndrome comes from leaving tampons in too long. It is characterized by a red rash, kind of looks like a sunburn, which then starts to peel, especially on the feet. If you are experiencing these symptoms go to your doctor or ER right now.
Reply:You get TSS from not changing tampons. If you keep them in too long, the bacteria will get you ill (TSS).
Reply:Some girls have BADBADBAD periods.


It%26#039;s like crazy how bad some girls have it.


That might be what%26#039;s going on with you.


Regardless-I would go to the hospital and get it checked out.
Reply:the tss is something that you could not go without treating long (within days) and still be alive. it would also come with a high fever. you may just have bad periods, i get like that. going on birth control helps.





you don%26#039;t have tss, but you should still talk to your mom about the severity of your periods. though it%26#039;s not urgent, you should see a doc. there are things you can to to make it better.
Reply:Tell your mom and tell her to take you to the doctor. Don%26#039;t ask some random person on here.
Reply:get off the computer and go to the ER.
Reply:chances are you dont have tss. i get these syptoms all the time and it means you are not drinking a lot of water. plus how can u have tss when u first started out when u werent using tampons? Dosent make sense. plus if it goes untreated tss can kill you. (not trying to scare u) but its true. if you are really worried go to the doctor or to the hospital as soon as possible! and from now on use pads because u are a little too young to be wearing tampons. theres no point. And when u do start wearing tampons again use them during the day for 5-6 hours and then use a pad again. i know most people will tell you to put a new one in before you go to bed but i never do cause sometimes i can sleep for 9 hours.
Reply:Go to the doctor%26#039;s right now!
Reply:I experience some of the same problems as you when I get my period, regardless if I%26#039;m using tampons or pads. I get bad cramping, stomach aches, diarhea, nausteous feeling, achy, tired and sometimes very dizzy. Some people get very sick feeling during their period. If you have TSS you%26#039;ll most likely have a spiked fever and rashes. It sounds like you%26#039;re experiencing just regular period side effects. Take your temp and if you have a fever go straight to the doctor, otherwise I%26#039;d say you%26#039;re fine. Just start changing your tampons more often and using a lower absorbancy to avoid TSS in the future.
Reply:While I doubt you have toxic shock syndrome (which is a complication of staph infection), you should tell your parents and get to a doctor as soon as possible.





Toxic shock syndrome is caused by exotoxin form staff bacteria. If has been associate with the use of highly absorbent tampons, but that is not the only cause.
Reply:You do not have toxic shock syndrome. You are just experiencing a really bad period. Some women have periods like that. Some months are worse than others. Welcome to the wonderful world of womanhood. Get used to it.
Reply:Even if you don%26#039;t have TSS,


those symptoms are pretty ridiculous


and there are a number of other


things that could be wrong.





Go to the doctor.
Reply:My question is,,,,,, why dont you tell your mom??
Reply:................how about going to a gynecologist? that%26#039;s what they are here for right?
Reply:just calm down. tss kills people if not treated within hours not years. U just have really bad menstrual cycle symptoms. If they hurt as bad as u say tell your mom to take u to an the Dr. where they might prescribe birth control pills to lessen the severity of your menstrual cycle symptoms.
