Hormone Disruption in Long COVID

[@kevineakins5276]

As a naturopath practising in Ireland I have to acknowledge the excellence of your lectures. This is one is a gem. Not only looking at the effects of Covid-19 on the HPA/HPT Axis but also a great introduction to how these endocrine organs function. 👍 well done.

[@ashleylala4293]

🙏🏼 Thank you so much for this information Dr Been. I’ve been struggling with Lyme/CFS for years but Covid has made it much worse for nearly 2 yrs now. I feel like a shell of the person I once was but I just figured it was from the grief of losing my mom. It’s like my personality is totally gone. I used to be really funny but I’m not at all anymore and nothing really brings me any joy at all. I’m eager to get my dopamine levels and other hormones tested.

[@2000disneyland]

I’m sorry you are suffering. I had mono and lymes years ago. Post covid symptoms have robbed me of what energy I had and depleted my zest for life. I’m 4 months out now. I had my hormones tested thru Life Extensions, and have a hormone supplement that is probably helping, but it’s hard to tell.

[@ashleylala4293]

Thank you Laura, I’m sorry you are in the same boat. It’s really awful but Drs like Dr Been and all the ones working on long Covid do give me hope. I’m praying that we all find answers and get the help we need because there’s an awful lot of us that are struggling with these strange and debilitating symptoms. 🙏🏼

It’s important to state that potassium can be low instead of high. Many Addison’s patients experience this and even have normal labs, especially in the beginning. I think it’s important to state that so doctors diagnose before a full blown crisis. I was diagnosed with POTS and working on getting labs for this condition as well. Went from mountain running to bedridden overnight. Also, now diagnosed with MCAS. I never had straight forward Covid symptoms back in March 2020, so frustrating

I got the very same head pain throughout the day, woke up Sat and felt amazing, and today I now feel bad again... my Thyroid tests also come back normal....

Overview of air pollution and endocrine disorders. Published online 2018 may 23, NIH. National library of medecine. Abstract; Over recent years, many environmental pollutant chemicals have been shown to possess the ability to interfere in the functioning of the endocrine system and have been termed endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). These compounds exist in air as volatile or semi-volatile compounds in the gas phase or attached to particulate matter. They include components of plastics (phthalates, bisphenol A), components of consumer goods (parabens, triclosan, alkylphenols, fragrance compounds, organobromine flame retardants, fluorosurfactants), industrial chemicals (polychlorinated biphenyls), products of combustion (polychlorinated dibenzodioxins/furans, polyaromatic hydrocarbons), pesticides, herbicides, and some metals. This review summarizes current knowledge concerning the sources of EDCs in air, measurements of levels of EDCs in air, and the potential for adverse effects of EDCs in air on human endocrine health.

Thank you Dr Been, I appreciate your work!! I just want to add, women have more complex hormonal cycles and changes, over the day, month, and life; which makes physiological homeostasis more complex also. That is the reason we are more prone to imbalances. Not because our immunity is more aggressive, rather it is more easily aggravated due to many more complex hormonal cascades according to these various cycles which men do not have.

I love how my Excellent drive vanished for over a month after clearing covid. I thought my depression, anxiety , dizziness, confusion, memory loss was bad but then ... my antenna said it needed a long break . I looked back and said , well I wasn't interested , anyways . Since I was 7 years old , I've had a drive like a mad man . Oddly , my wife was sick with me , and yup , we both had hit zero . She also has a drive like myself. We've been married for 20 years . We don't miss snuggle time . But alpha simply snuffed it right out without a warning. But worth noting , at the beginning of recovery , maybe first couple of weeks , I had zero emotions. Looking back , my world was coming apart in a hurry and I simply had no emotion , no anxiety , no worry , no laughing , but physical pain , headaches like nothing I've ever had or heard about in my life. After a short period , my memory started coming back in really broken fragments, along with emotions . Those emotions came back with a vengeance. All I can compare it to was being akin to my mother's manic depressive, but up and downs were going full swing withing an hour or two , not days or weeks . It was pure insanity. But wait there's more ( TV commercial voice) Trying to urinate was very difficult, but it wasn't a bladder infection , and then came a flu feeling and sweating, dizziness, and gout in my left ankle . I would take AZO with copious amounts of water , and within 24 hours , incredible broken ankle feeling , flu , sweating etc all would lift off. It's been really fun being self employed while going through this with no insurance, lol . God is good , all the time. I am mostly recovered now. Down to occasionally needing dimatap , and zyrtec daily . Lots of water.

I would have thought that yes it can regulate itself over time, in the right conditions. Disrupted endocrine systems will take considerably longer, or maybe never regulate, if they are continually exposed to endocrine disruptors, at levels greater than the individual's ability to cope. We don't all have the same ability to cope, or the same individual exposure, so considerably reducing endocrine disruptor exposition, will help reduce the time to recovery and reduce the risk of never recovering.

I know someone who's struggled with CFS for about 10 years. This was a result of a string of viral infections that doctors put down to just being viral and get on with it. Post viral fatigue lasted over a year and still doctors did nothing. The result...chronic CFS. Overhaul of the inmune system. Knowledge about how long Covid affects the body has provided some relief. There are many similarities in symptoms in long covid and CFS. The only time CFS got better was with a simple yet restrictive diet and change in lifestyle: the patient changed jobs to a less stressful one, did low level physio exercises built very gradually over two years to 30 minutes. Diet eliminated all processed food, most sugars and included plenty of infused water. Just eat as natural as possible. Vitamin d3, omega 3 & 6, zinc magnesium and selenium a must as well as collagen supplements which were taking rigidly everyday. This done over the course of two years greatly improved the symptoms. However patient had to take a new job, more money, more hours and more stress. All above was not followed leading to a flare up of all those symptoms again.

thank you for the info, this sounds right on. I am a Raven type researcher and can't resist adding these additional needs, for managing recovery: Live foods: I think making sure over half, preferrable 80% of food is "alive" or live foods, lots of them being GREEN LEAFY, and bright colors, would really begin to help. These live foods, recognized by their natural bright colors, have the correct energy/information [molecular bond photon frequencies] to regenerate ATP production machinery and more. SLEEP: Plus we need deep restorative [delta brainwave] sleep, for cleaning up daytime cellular trash... LIGHT: And very importantly we all need NATURAL sunlight, not just taking D but getting real sunlight. Also by avoiding unbalanced light spectrums of toxic LEDs and supertoxic Fluorescents, we may continue to tweak our health to optimum happiness and efficiency. Many who get away from all fluorescents report enhanced energy/less fatigue. (and many who spend time under fluorescents, at the office, report fatugue and exaustion). Blessings & peace.

Do less work. 2) Gut health based antiinflammatory diet (paleo or other) 3) Natural antiinflammatories and antioxidants (curcumin, gingerol, phytonutrients, herbs and spices) 4) Sleep and or meditation (over thinking or stress management) 5) Avoiding where possible negative environmental conditions, infections extreme temperatures etcetera. 6) Other over the counter nutraceuticals. These help but let food be thy medicine. 7) Movement and gentle exercise. Difficult. However necessity at times. Tai chi, yoga etc. Move lymphatic fluids. Improve venous return. Proprioception and mobility. This can be complicated and painfully slow. Due to balancing flare ups with a plan. But if you don't move it. You lose it. So a balance does and should exist. It must however be gentle.

I don’t have a doctor, because I don’t trust so-called education, but if I did have one, I would want that one to be you. How do I make you my primary physician Am my baby boys pediatrician?

Thx. I wasn't certain you believed my theory enough to look. I'm glad it's at least checked over. It may be, like deficient of vitamin D3, there's a abnormal use of other structures that coincide symptoms..imo. Glad to hear it's being looked into. Thx. It's a culprit itis, ism, or fectious...... 😂. And the less balance of that issue. So the burning feeling from hell..ish hear around kidneys night cause failures or less. So yeah, like a fish smell worse. Stale urine as it is. I believe it affects spine too. Imo. But don't prophecy that ..it's already bad enough.
