T suppresses your immune system so you’re more likely to get colds. That’s why testosterone dominant people get more sick often than estrogen dominant people

Also it gave me crazy acne despite me never really struggling with acne before. It’s all worth it to me though

my immune system was already cracked before E, so now I’m immune to sickness (however it’s probs draining so much of my body’s resources… is this why I’m always tired and can never eat enough)

Finasteride gives you more head hair but lessens your genitalia growth and blocks your body hair growth. You just gotta pick your battles. All hair growth treatments also can have side effects pertaining to blood pressure and depression
