Answers:
I'm not sure how long it would take for you to die but if you believe you have TSS, your parents should take you to a doctor, at least to alleviate your fears!. Here are some other symptoms of TSS:

Fever
Rash
Headache
Muscle aches
Lightheadedness
Confusion
Nausea
Diarrhea

!.!.!.just to name a few!. If you don't have a fever and rash, chances are good that you don't have TSS!. But if you're getting lightheaded and blacking out, you should definitely see a doctor!. That's serious!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It can develop really rapidly in anyone!. If you experience ANY blacking out/dizziness, you should go to a doctor anyway and the fact that your parents wont take you to the doctors or hospital isn't good sweetie! TSS should result in instant hospitalization and with an early diagnosis - can be treated!.
Get yourself down to A&E pronto missy and best of luck xWww@Answer-Health@Com

if you had tss you would know about it!.


blacking out and dizziness can be caused by the increased hormones around you period if you have a hormone imbalance!.

but if you really think you have it i would go to the hospital!.


otherwise i believe your parents are right in not taking you, it is easy for your body to imagine syptoms if ou believe you have it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

if your parents wont take you then you should just go yourself to check it out!. but i doubt you woudl have it unless you have left your tampon in for more than like 10 hours!.
its very rare and if you did have it then you would probably be more sick and not just faint and stuff but get flu like syptoms as well and you would be bed ridden as its a serious life threatening ilness!.
but dw i think its highly unlikely you have it but you should go to your GP if youre still in doubt!.

it was 2 hours ago when you asked!.!. if you're still experiencing symptoms now, find a doctor!.
either way, find a [female] doctor and discuss this with them!.
if you do continue to use tampons, don't leave them inside you for more than 2-3 hours ok
i'll be back to your question to check if you're okay so i hope you areWww@Answer-Health@Com

hmmm!.!.!.idk!.

there is usually a paper in the tampons box though!. that would give you way more information on it than any of us on here could!. all i know about tss is that you 'can' die!.!.that doesnt necessarily mean that you 'will' die!.

i hope your ok!. good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm not sure!. I think it can be quite quick!. If you really think you have it, sneak out and go to a doctor yourself or call an ambulance!. I don't think you would have it though if this happened last time you used tampons as well and you didn't die!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

your not going to die

see a doctor when you can , you can only get it if you leave your tampon in for weeks , they only put it on the packet so people dont sue them if they get ill

stop being paranoid!Www@Answer-Health@Com

TSS is very serious and I dont think you would be on the computer if you had it!. You get a rash like sunburn and feel very sick like the flu!. It is rare, it's probably unlikely that you have it so I wouldn't worry!. xWww@Answer-Health@Com

your periods can cause blacking out and dizziness anyway, and I think if you had tss you would be feeling VERY unwell right now!. It might be best not to use internal protection any more though, and call a doctor yourself if things get worseWww@Answer-Health@Com

go to the hosp your self call an ambos if your real worriedWww@Answer-Health@Com
