[josh8416]

Hey guys, yesterday i woke up and i was really sick, like weak and my throat hurt and i had a cough. well today i woke up again and i feel better, but not 100 percent, my throat is still sore, so u think i should take my creatine?? i missed it yesterday as well. i was just seeing if it will make me recover longer or anything of that sort. ive only been taking creatine 5g/day for 5 days now..thanks oh its phos. hp, and could this make me sick???

hey guys am i right on this, creatine kinda dehitrates(sp) you, so just make sure you keep plenty of fluids in you. I too am sick, but im still taking it.

why bother? its a waste
its not like you work out when your sick?
just stop the creatine and start up when you feel better

[prolangtum]

no the creatine had nothing to do with it.

creatine may affect hydration. If you water intake is inadequate it may make the symptoms of your illness worse.
