I had Graves disease - a thyroid autoimmune disease almost immediately after the pandemic hit. Perfectly healthy, no history of it in my family, then boom - 3 years of my life effectively ruined. I don't think it's a coincidence at all.

I have Graves too but I got it pre-pandemic. Was perfectly healthy and boom here we go. I think I had a weird virus first, flu-like symptoms but not the flu.

Now you mention it... Exactly the same as me. In the UK - had some kind of flu about 2 months before the pandemic. I had flu like symptoms around the Christmas time (November I think). Diagnosed with Graves 2 months later.
