Im 13. Today I had on my tampon for 3 hours. And I started feeling dizzy, nauscious, everything looked yellow and I couldnt see well so i would bump into things when i was going to the clinic. I went home and slept, now I'm feeling fine. Is this a sign of TSS? Can I ever wear a tampon again?

No
A high fever is associated with TSS.
Maybe you need glasses.

Nope. Don't worry about it.
3 hours is not too long to have a tampon in. Your symptoms were almost certainly unrelated to the tampon.
Here's more info on TSS. It's really extremely rare, especially since they stopped using certain materials in tampons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_shock_syndrome.

No its not TSS. You don't get it from wearing a tampon for three hours. Ive been wearing them for years and I'm just fine. It could be your period that's causing you to feel like that. Its not likely for you to have TSS since you've barley started wearing tampons.
