Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 My experience of creatine was as a sports supplement but I found it made me tired and I had very little benefit from it. I stopped taking it after 8 weeks (to get any benefit you should try it for a period of at least weeks). I was also told you need to ensure you take on board plenty fluids when taking the supplement, as it can damage your kidneys & liver in large quantities. Please be careful. Long term I found very little benefit and if anything I found myself gaining weight although exercising for 2 hours per day. My muscles ached and always felt heavy and it did not help me... but that does not mean it wont help you. At the time I was a competitive swimmer hence my use of this substance but now I am very wary of its benefits for us with SMA. Having said this I hope it helps you - good luck.
