Has anyone ever felt like their TEs were making them sick?

Is it all in my head? I feel like maybe my body is rejecting or fighting off this foreign body.....I feel terrible all the time. I’m 9 weeks out and completely exhausted, sick to my stomach, my joints hurt so bad, itchy skin....what is wrong with me!? I should be better by now and I feel horrible. Has anyone had this kind of response to their TEs? I’m just really curious if that’s what it could be. I have 7 weeks until exchange.

Ps- I’m normally a heathy active person w no complaints at all!!

    I can't help because luckily I breezed through my TE with no problems or discomfort at all. But I know that some women find them to be very painful, although I think usually we're talking pain in the breast area.

    Are you on hormone therapy? What you describe could be caused by that.

    I’m pretty much past the pain period and while there is discomfort, I’m pretty sure it’s normal (and mild). I did have my left TE rotate 180 degrees and my PS just left it like that ( looks so awful!) I am not on hormone therapy.

    Thanks for the response. I’m hopeful someone piped up with something......
