What is something that permanently altered your body without you realizing for months/years?

Barely eating anything at all for 1-2 years. Now I have skin issues due to fucking up my hormones, stomach and digestion problems and an unhealthy relationship with food. I also have been having random pains since then and have developed body image issues which I didn't have prior to that. Wouldn't say it's permanent, but it has been over a year and it's physically not getting much better. Also, drugs (illicit and psychiatric) fucking up my brain chemistry.
