A member asked:
What are symptoms of toxic shock syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very sick: Usually fever, very high >102, rigors (not just chills like the flu), low blood pressure, low urine output. It progresses rapidly and can be life-threatening. It can come from an infection in the vagina that gets into the pelvis or from a rapidly spreading skin or soft tissue infection, that is extremely painful-not just a bit painful. Seek attention immediately.

I read everything about toxic shock syndrome and I don't think my symptoms are that serious. Vomiting, sudden cold sweat. This is not tss, is it?
