  5. I'm female/71 yrs, i'm getting more strength for the stairs, getting up from the floor, in and out of vehicles walking and just in general. It improved my balance and metabolism and I'm feeling happier and stronger. Yay! Thanks for the HMB tip, I'll try it.

  6. I began taking 5 grams of creatine monohydrate per day. After two or three days I experienced migraine like auras. I suspected it was the creatine, but wasn't certain. I tried taking another 5g of creatine a few days later, and within an hour experienced another round of auras. I searched the Internet to see if others had experienced this or something similar, but could not find anything. Any thoughts?
