Chloe Chriselle Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Hello all. It's been about 3 years since the pandemic descended on us and I've been hearing anecdotal tales here and there and wanted to get some thoughts from this forum. I've always wondered the effects and impact COVID had on CH-ers (both ECH and CCH), for example: Did having COVID have an effect on CH? Did ECH-ers turn CCH after a bout of COVID? If not, did it affect the frequency / duration of your cycle etc? For CCH-ers, was there any effect on you? And probably more notably: if you were previously successfully busting, did having COVID affect the efficacy of your usual Vitamin M / L busting methods? (I realise there's probably a dozen more points in relation to this but hopefully this will get the ball rolling). Would be really keen to get people's experiences on this.

Maybe a halo effect from the D3 Regimen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiny Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 We do know that low D makes for worse Covid, don't we? Everyone should be adding it! So, yes, it might be due to the D that I take daily. Or it is just location or really great luck! All three of my kids had it. But they do not live close. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Chole, I had COVID a long while back and got lucky as it only lasted about 5 days and did not aggravate my ECH. However I had that new strain of flu a few months back and it threw me and my CH for a loop (caused out of cycle random attacks). I think any type of infection/virus that depletes the system can cause this not just COVID. Thankfully I did not turn chronic either. The effect of COVID for me was similar to the now old fashion flu bug and lastly I couldn't answer the busting with M/L as I have not had to try them yet but if it makes any difference it did not interfere with RC busting. Hope you are doing well! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you are doing well! Thanks so much @BoscoPiko!! That's so helpful I'm always so interested hearing about other people's experiences and aside from those out of cycle attacks which still isn't great, it's good to hear it didn't cause any significant (further) adverse reaction (!) I agree how you mean that any infection or inflammation of sorts knock the system around. CH is such a mysterious and frustrating disease as it is I just can't imagine another factor complicating it all. I understand everyone responds differently and after reading so many differing stories, so keen to understand if there's a commonality here (or perhaps I seem to be only picking up on stories of COVID making CH much worse...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I think that COVID has been such a dominant factor in our lives of late that you most likely are seeing it more because everything is being chalked up to COVID even if it's a different respiratory infection. Sort of like getting a new car that you don't see on the road all that much but when you yourself get one all the sudden you see them everywhere.
