Hey all I hope you’re all doing well.

I am finally past Covid and fully recovered my taste and smell in 2.5 weeks. However what I’ve realized is my hot flashes I normally get before my period are way worse and this time I’ve had a low grade fever during my cycle. My sex drive is also rather low and things are dry. I’m only 30 years old and have a very regular cycle (it just has gotten lighter over the last year or so) but these “hot” symptoms are making it so hard to sleep.

Any advice?

Thanks as always and Merry Christmas to you all!

So glad to hear that you have recovered fro COVID!

I'm purely guessing here, but I would think that the virus has caused some extra inflammation and interfered with hormone production even more than usual. It might just take another cycle or two to go back to normal. Do you normally have no temperature increase during menstruation? I'm always much warmer the week before - about 98.5 instead of my usual 97.7.

Sounds like you aren't producing many hormones. Maybe getting plenty of healthy fats, selenium, and relaxation could help? I know hormones are something that's been a project of yours (and mine) for a while now!

Yeah I’ve been concerned my hormones have just dropped off the map. I definitely want to get them back in action. I have wondered if more inflammation has made it worse. What will selenium do with hormones? I hear good and bad things with it when you have hashimotos?
