Not to go on and on, but let's just say that I am a hideous rash-monster.

Last night I was convinced by WebMD for a second that I had Toxic Shock Syndrome, because I had both a rash and a headache, but lacking a fever or being in shock, I deduced that I in fact do not.

People keep telling me to go to a doctor, but I hate it because I feel like I'm catching tons of other stuff in the waiting room. Also because it takes the whole day.

haha! i was hospitalized for TSS last year and spent three days watching 7th Heaven and getting blood drawn out of my right forearm about 30 times. to this day, that arm will not produce blood. i try to tell doctors not to take the samples from that one, but they never listen.

Whoa, did you really have it?
The thing said it was supposed to be a sunburn-like rash. Mine is more like a chicken poxy one.

I read some terrifying article about a lady who had TSS and went into shock and lost the use of most of her fingers and feet -- way to scare the hell out of me.
