 How distasteful, I love it.

Good luck man.

Hope everything goes alright with you. I too don\'t think its the creatine but if you think it is, I would stop taking it.

thats bad, how old are???? hope it all goes well, and they work out what is up with u, and it is nothing major.


theres  a curse on this website, first souly, now -____-

I\'m 18.  Today I just feel all...sleepy.  Damn medication.  My left arm is in a constant state of numbness and im STILL getting these goddamn sharp pains.  So far everyone is convinced its not the creatine, hrm.  Guess I\'m just unlucky then

I\'m no Doctor (But am a certified trainer and EMT) and I can\'t imagine that pulmonary edema being caused by creatine, as pulmonary edema is usually caused by the heart itself not working correctly, not fluid retention by your blood cells....However, have you been taking high doses of creatine and Aspartame?  If so, that could have caused it.  I\'s been documented that large amounts of these in combination will realese toxic levels of methanol and can cause pulmonary edema.  If your doc doesn\'t know about this, alert him.  If you want to know more, look up Charles Fleming as he\'s the most documented case.

Hrm...I was taking normal amounts of creatine, and I rarely drink anything with aspartame.  I dont drink sodas, so thats mostly what has it...

do you eat or drink anything that\'s diet?  If it\'s diet and doesn\'t say made with Splenda, then it\'s usually aspartame.

I remember once I went to the doctor and they said I had a blood infection. Now this doctors I\'ve never been to before. They said that I needed to go to the Hospital to get a blood *something*. My dad didn\'t care!! He said that I was fine and that they were crazy. So I sat at home thinking that I was going to die. The next day I told my mom, who I love the most, and she made my dad take me to the clinic we always go to. I WAS FINE!!! Those damn doctors scared the shit out of me.

I would NEVER eat or drink anything with the words diet on them.  They taste nasty, and dont do you any good anyway.  

Drinking wouldnt have an effect would it?

diets suck, drinking diet coke etc will not lose u weight, just go and work out for gods sake. not talking to u, just peep in general.................

A well balanced diet is key if your trying to get in top shape, I\'ve been on a strict diet for about 2 years now.

Could it be a panic attack?  The symptoms sound pretty close.  What meds do they have you on?

Bingo.... This is exactly what I was thinking. I have encountered several people who have had some of the same stuff and it ended up being anxiety attacks.
