Sxs: I don't know. Symptoms of toxic shock syndrome can include: fever, low blood pressure, muscle pain, headache, loose stools, vomiting, rash, confusion and seizures. You could be coming down with a virus but if concerned please contact your physician (especially if you develop sx pattern described above).
