My experience sounds similar to yours - had a bad cold for a week but mood wise was OK... improved for a couple of days and then WHAM hit by all the meno type symptoms (and more). Interesting your point about the vaccine as I had my booster in Dec and had big problems with my E level dropping afterwards but I assumed it was down either to my natural E dropping or because I was temporarily taking Metformin and the doctor didn't bother to tell me it can affect your E level. I hadn't considered a possible connection with the booster.
You would think it would go back up again but who knows and it's annoying to keep paying for blood tests every month to see where you're at. I would really like to now just stick on the 3 sprays and have a full stable cycle where I'm a normal human being
If I don't start to feel bad I'll just stick with 3 sprays.
The supplements were just what I decided to take after doing a lot of online research and reading of scientific studies etc. They all to some degree have proven benefits in reducing inflammation though of course not trialled like proper drugs.
As I say who knows if it did anything - could well just be a coincidence and potentially too soon for it to be that working - but I find it impossible to sit and do nothing about it when I'm feeling so poorly, I need to feel proactive!
Have you had a blood test recently to check your E level? Do you know roughly what it was before the covid/vaccine made you have a dop?
