Hi. I hate hearing this about you. I Just hate it. Writing about this stuff does help me but ultimately we are all suckers. Western medicine got us into this situation, it will not get us out, they don't want to admit the truth.
This is sad to say but I am on my final leg, balancing life, work, family...while being sick as a dog for 3 full years. As a single-income earner my family is about to fall, and all I can do is watch from this infected body.
Here is my reality, June 2021-present
-Sun-Tue or Mon-Wed, every week since I got the Moderna booster, I've been sick - covid/vax reactivates my depression, suicidal thoughts, my system goes haywire, sweaty, can't control body temp, dilated eyes, pure panic situation, etc.
-I am no longer myself. I've cut off my friends, it's too exhausting to maintain anything, really, much less a relationship. They can't understand what I'm going through
-I've tried more than a few treatments, HBOT, NAD+, nicotine, LDN, plus others. None help reduce my symptoms, thousands of dollars down the drain.
-Money at some point goes dry, I'm at that point.
No one cares, I probably wouldn't either if I was healthy. That's a cold hard fact. I will work to protect my family and then determine how best to live/not live the rest of my life. This is not a temporary problem.
I can't do this any longer.

I am so so sorry. I really truly hope you find some relief and summary recovery.
I’m so sorry to hear this. I know what you mean because my adult kids think this is all in my head. Hang in there because one of these days one of the studies will find solutions. Even though you feel defeated your family needs you and loves you.

That sounds hormonal. I've had many of those symptoms since having COVID. After (going on) three years of that - and, oh, so much more - I have adrenal insufficiency. I had to push and push and push for help. I had labs for HRT with low DHEA. That was the first clue for my doctor. He was not interested in the crippling fatigue, panic attacks, sweating, lack of refreshing sleep. I could not stay hydrated. He's been aware for months. I've required IV fluids repeatedly. Finally, he ordered a cortisol lab. Practically non existent cortisol.
Very long story short, I'll see an endocrinologist late next month for more testing to determine the cause of adrenal insufficiency.
My message for you is that those symptoms indicate HPA axis dysregulation which COULD BE from hormones. Whether that's due to COVID, the vaccine, perimenopause, or menopause, I hope this gives you a new avenue to pursue that provides relief.
