Immune system / mouth ulcers

Fedupchuck profile image
7 Replies

Hello, i read wondering if anyone experiences feeling generally unwell like a viral infection, swollen glands and mouth ulcers towards the end of their period? I swear it is connected and my consultant thinks it may be when the oestrogen dips but he doesn't know for sure. Having that aswell as feeling awful with my period is getting too much for me to handle each month. Has anyone experienced similar and been given treatment / advice on how to stop it or improve your immune system?

Thank you x

Its the best home remedy for immunity. Also you can take VitC that helps too.

It seems to me you have a really weak immune system. You might want to boost your diet on fruits and vegies. Pay attention to your water in take and get enough rest. Have you been stressed lately?

I know this is an older post but I found using a good quality multivitamin containing selenium really helped me. I always feel like I'm coming down with flu when my endometriosis has been bad. My glands get swollen and I do sometimes get mouth ulcers. Selenium supports your immune system and is actually used to treat endo in cattle (I've read). I've noticed a difference in my overall health since starting it.
