Hi all! I've found so many helpful folks on HealthUnlocked concerning an autoimmune disorder I have and I'm hoping this group can help me with some current issues I think are related to hormones.
Background: I had c*vid back in April 2020 and it triggered horrible periods which lead to an iron deficiency that was thankfully caught before I ended up anemic. I had an ablation in October 2021 after dealing with near constant bleeding for 18 months.
Fast forward to the past few weeks and I am now having trouble sleeping and night sweats. I already see a hematologist for iron deficiency so between her and my PCP I've had a lot of lab work. All looks fine other than the things we know and are currently addressing. Below are my current hormone lab results as well as the previous result from September 2020. I know these levels can change based on time of month, but I would love your feedback on how you interpret my current results. It looks to me that all of these fall in the postmenopausal range, but my PCP said the difference between September 2020 and now is just when it was drawn during my cycle. I'm 43 and had always been like clockwork prior to C*vid. I'm so confused.
