OMG you had it in you for 2 weeks?!?If you have tss the symptoms are...diarreah,high fevers,vomitting,confusion,seizures,headaches,musleaches
and organ faliures like your kidney and liver might not work the same.I suggest you go to the doctor or pharmacist if you have any of these symptoms because trust me this can get worse.

It could be anything. TSS is a possibility, but it probably isn't the case. My guess is that you just picked up a mild case of the flu. Don't postpone going to see a doctor because you are embarassed. Go see a doctor. Believe it or not, this happens to women all the time. Your doctor isn't going to be surprised or disgusted. It will be taken seriously and nobody will make a big deal of it. Don't ever try to diagnose things yourself. Always get an opinion from a real doctor. Good luck.

Symptoms of TSS may be similar to severe flu, initially. They include:
vomiting
diarrhoea
a sunburn-like rash
muscle aches
a sudden high temperature (fever)
drowsiness or confusion
fainting and/or dizziness,
and collapse.
Patients look pale, and have a high pulse rate. Children with shock will often show confusion as an early sign.
It's very rare to get it, only 4 or 5 tampon related cases a year. But if you have those symptons, its VERY important to get it checked out with a doctor!
