Does your period lower your immune system?

I’ve been feeling like I’m coming down with something for a week or so. But I started my period on Saturday night and boom by Sunday evening I was SO UNWELL.

Ive got a runny nose, I can’t taste or smell a thing, I’m tired but I can’t sleep, cough, nausea, no appetite, headache, dizziness.

Looking back the times I’ve been unwell do seem to always be when I’m on my period.

has anyone else had this sick joke of a virus? And do you tend to get unwell around your period?

Anecdotally I also seem to get unwell when I’m due/ on my period. No idea if the reason is scientific or coincidental though.
