Most symptoms have a quick onset, others you will not see until a couple weeks post. It is not a sure thing that you have TSS, but you should definitely call your primary care physician or gynecologist and tell them you are concerned. Here is what you can expect to see with TSS: sudden high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, fainting, or a rash that looks like a sunburn during your period or a few days after. One or two weeks after initial symptoms begin, flaking and peeling of the skin occurs, mainly on the palms and soles. If your doctor determines you have TSS you will likely be sent to the hospital. With proper treatment, improvement is seen in two to three weeks.
