***I tried vinpocetine and it had an intolerable stimulating side effect that

lead me to stop its use within a few days of starting it. Thumbs down.

***I haven't used creatine monohydrate so can't really comment on direct

experience, but I think a warning is appropriate: For a normal healthy person,

it can quickly dehydrate them

and it's important to drink lots of liquids while using it, but for PWCs where

many of us have low blood volume and diabetes insipidus(DI) via low glutathione

anything that may dehydrate us further until the DI is resolved seems highly

questionable to use.

I think some studies were done with Creatine and CFS and CFS patients are shown

to be low in it and benefit from it. I dont' use my too often but it does give

my muscles short term help.
