Creatine supplements
Is anyone taking Creatine to address fatigue (or other) issues? If so, which one and what dosage? Any ill effects?

I started a few weeks ago due to muscle weakness and loss of stamina, still too early to tell. I have had no side effects.
5 mg. before exercise.

2 ReactionsYes indeed! We are all "blueprints" of PMR and how it plays out in a sundry of manner.
What one benefits from another does not. We each must find our own path. I micromanage my own dosage and symptomology of PMR. The "Body Keeps Score" indeed. (Van Der Kolk).
Do not dismiss functional medicine or anything there in. There are many paths to wellness and healing.
I wish you the best in this regard.
Warmest,
Patricia

2 Reactions3 mg daily in pre-workout drink.
5 mg. daily here. I also add a teaspoon of D-Ribose sugar which also helps.
A health and wellness recently surprised me by telling me her grandfather had PMR and was I aware that PMR was caused by a virus. Has anyone else heard this or know of some related research ?
