What Are The Symptoms Of Toxic Shock Syndrome?

Hi, i was just wondering what the chances are of having Toxic Shock Syndrome. I recently took a 4 day break from YAZ FLEX in order to get my period. I have had my period for 3 days only lightly and towards the last day i wore 2 tampons, 1 for a little under 7 hours and the other for around 9. I used a tampon with an attached inserter. During this time i have also eaten a bit of junk food so am also suspecting food poisoning. Last night i woke up dizzy and feeling like i needed to vomit which i did and only the smallest amount of vomit came up. Then i developed a mild headache, some muscle soreness, a sore throat, dizziness and mild diarrhoea. Currently i do not feel nauseous anymore and i don t have symptoms of diarrhoea. I have been around other members of the public for the past two days too.

Hi,

You do not have toxic shock syndrome according to my knowledge of the symptoms. Toxic shock syndrome manifests severely and will present with symptoms of shock as the name suggests.

There are criteria defining a state of shock and none of your symptoms meet them. You should be suffering from a case of food poisoning or just menstrual cramps.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
