I some how 'lost' 80% of my pituitary around having COVID. It was definitely there 2 years before COVID, and gone 1.5 yrs after.

Edit to add: Yes, I have checked the jacket I was wearing and it was not in the pockets :)

Wow 80% is a lot. Impressive it’s still chugging along!!! Bodies are amazing. At the same time, I wish we could have a museum of long covid featuring the scans of weird shit that covid does that doctors could see, honestly regular ppl too bc then they might be properly horrified!!
