Creatine Supplements for PMR

Posted by cheraloha @cheraloha, Aug 2 3:50pm

Hi, has anyone taken creatine supplements/powder for PMR? I hear it may be helpful with autoimmune diseases? LMK and thanks!

I started taking creatine in capsule form (3mg per day) two and a half months ago after reading an article about the new study showing how beneficial it is especially for older people. I have not noticed any change in my PMR symptoms or any other improvement in my muscle mass or general health.

New to group. I recently came out of remission with milder symptoms than my first bout with PMR, currently it seems to be affecting my hip region no shoulder involvement. I started taking creatine 5g a day and it seems to have decreased the pain and stiffness. Trying not to go back on prednisone.
