Should I get checked out for TSS?!
Question: My periods have just finished, nd I'd been using tampons, when my mum told me she once had TSS, when she was about 22, and it left her almost dead and with a heart murmur. Shes also told me it is possible I could have it... I haven't mentioned any symptoms, but during the course of me using tampons [Ended a couple of days ago,] I've had the symptoms of TSS:
Head aches
Abdominal pain
Confusion / Blank outs.
Should I go get checked up or not?

Yes! Please go i also use tampons and im paranoid and i pray for the best for you better safe than sorry right?
You've had blank outs? Get to the doctor - that's never a good sign.
better safe than sorry
It might be an idea, given that it can kill you.
Yes!!
seeing as your period ended a couple of days ago and your not seriously ill, i wouldnt think you actually have tss right now head aches and back/stomach pain can just be a symptom of having your period but I'd get checked out just incase.
GoodLuck x
