While using ob tampons, i developed extreme swollen glands in the inguinal and perineal area, and felt extremely unwell.For the week following the first day of my period, i felt extremely tired and run down, at times wondering if something was seriously wrong with me.This intensified over a number of cycles.At first, i attributed it to my period, but on a whim, i decided to use a tampon mid-cycle to see what would happen.Sure enough, within 8 hours, swelling had begun.After doing some online research and finding a discussion of the possible issues with certain brands of tampons, i switched to another brand (natracare).I have not had issues with fatigue, pain, or swelling since.
