Should I go see a doctor about this?
Replies
I think I might have TSS. A couple of hours ago I started feeling rather poorly. My stomach hurts ,I have a fever, and I feel sort of dizzy. At first I though it was just something to do with my sesonal allergies ,but now I have a high fever and I can barely stand. So am I just over-reacting or is there something really wrong with me?
[edit] Now that I think about it this has happened to me before, and it was nothing(acctually I ignored it and it went away:x). But just to be safe I'm going to the health center to get it checked out.
I think it would be best to see a doctor just in case, if you are worried about it. A doctor could help you much more than people on a forum, even if it turns out nothing's wrong :)
I would see a doctor just in case. Like said, even if nothing's wrong, it's still safe to see. Feel better soon!
Anytime you have to ask "Should I see a doctor?" the answer is YES. Go and get yourself seen about.
Thanks. I just wanted a second opinion bacause the nearest walk-in clinic is sort of far away ,and I don't like going there unless it's absolutly vital.
I second this. Although if you live in the UK you can call NHS direct. They'll advise you on first aid, whether to see a doctor or go to hospital. They also told me which hospital to go to as there are five nearish to me and they all deal with different things.

Yes. It isn't worth the risk if you don't get checked.
<p>The presence of several of these symptoms constitutes an emergency, particularly if one uses tampons, contraceptive sponges, has recently given birth, had a dilation and curettage, miscarriage or is recovering from chicken pox. Treatment required is immediate, usually intravenous (IV) antibiotics to stop the illness from spreading.</p>
<p>Failing to treat TSS can result in severe kidney infection and ultimately death; thus, signs of this illness should never be ignored. While those affected are usually hospitalized, doctors will be sure to look for the presence of abscesses, which may result from a tampon or contraceptive sponge that has been left in place too long. Caught early, TSS responds well to antibiotics and tends to restore people to complete health.
I'd say go see a doctor. Not trying to scare you or anything but this needs to be taken seriously as it's stupid to ignore symptoms.
