Well, it finally happened and I got COVID. (So angry… ) Luckily, my symptoms have been relatively mild – but, that being said, I still feel like total shit. But at least I’m not in the hospital or anything like that.

I’ve been on HRT (estradiol patch and periodic progesterone) for about a year and they’ve been doing a pretty good job at helping with peri symptoms, but I feel like I’ve started having hot flashes since getting COVID. Has that happened to anyone else? They feel like hot flashes and not “fever heat”. I was feverish a couple days ago, but I don’t think I am now.

I definitely have more brain fog and fatigue, too, but those I’m less surprised about.

There are a bunch of studies that are being done on how COVID and long COVID messes up our hormones. I would think that you having more hot flashes after getting sick makes perfect sense. Definitely let your doctor know and I hope you start feeling better soon!

‘Menopause isn’t really that bad’…said no woman ever.

For those who are approaching or experiencing ‘the change’ (think reverse puberty), a time where hormone levels decline either through the aging process or by medical/surgical means.

Menopause and Perimenopause (the transitional time before Menopause) are unique to every person, and while there’s no one-size fits all, we support each other on this roller coaster ride of wacked out hormones, absurd mood swings and random sweaty hot flashes.

Be kind. Be respectful. We are all in this together!
