all due respect chemo is something you have to tolerate, steroid sides are optional.
The sides through chemo is your body telling you its damaging you, which it is, its killing your healthy cells along with the cancer.
I listen to my body when taking anything, if I start feeling offside or ill I stop or drop the dose.
Some people choose to ignore sides or take something to counter them, their choice.
The higher the dose of tren the more the severity of the sides, sweating insomnia , weird dreams emotional response.
Its that way for me anyway.
Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that if you experience an adverse side effect that you are doing some type of damage to your body. This may be temporary or permanent. But this side effect may be offset by the benefit your body may be getting. These trade offs, cost/benefits, pretty much applies to everything. There are side effects to training, i.e., pain, muscle soreness, fatigue.... You may credibly argue that this is a sign that you are doing too much in the sense that you are doing more than your body is use to and it is rebelling. I mean, 10 sets of ball busting squats is not a normal physical activity the average human body is use to. So you get sore, can barely walk, feel miserable -- legit adverse side effects. But for many, or rather, some, the benefits you get in strength, muscle hypertrophy, and functional ability is worth the side effects.
A TRT dose of test isn't going to do crap from a bodybuilding stand point. A gram of Test will. But the trade offs are increased estrogen, possible baldness, acne, constant erections... Does this mean you are taking too much and should go back to TRT doses? Not from a bbing stand point.
So to say that side effects means you're over doing it or taking too much is really dependent on what your goals or purpose is. Does getting high mean you have smoked too much weed? I guess it does. Unless your purpose is to get high.
