and i already have symptoms will crushing my dht to nothing be more likely to result in a side effect than somebody who's like vital no side like thriving no issues whatsoever seemingly like there is an androgen load component to assess like how significant of an impact it might have on your uh ability to support functions driven through androgens because it's like

Don't worry about it.
Or I had the worst experience ever and it ruined my life.
It's going to fuck you up.
