This is a very interesting phenomena and I have experienced this in the past myself too.
I read a good book called “Safe uses of hydrocortisone” by a Dr Jefferies. He writes quite a lot about the influenza virus, he would use low dose hydrocortisone to reduce flu symptoms and reduce the duration and intensity of the flu in his patients.
He said that the Influenza virus interferes with the adrenals glands early on in its onslaught in the body lowering production of cortisol. Much of the symptoms we feel from this virus, he says, are the affects that low cortisol has on the body: fatigue, achy joints, sensitivity to bright light, sore eyes, headache etc.
Supplementing with hydrocortisone essentially tricked the virus, replacing it reduced the effects of inflammation and the disease progression.
I wonder if this lowered cortisol level you may be experiencing could be increasing your libido in these moments. It could also be supressing other hormones produced by the adrenal glands such as adrenalin, thus lowering excessive sympathetic function in the body which is known to decrease libido and sexual function.
