Yes it was scary . I had throat cancer and thought it was a sinus infection. When I did go to the Dr , they sent me to an ENT who caught it . He said if we didn't do anything I might have a year or so. Stage 4 because it had spread to my lymph nodes in my throat. They got me to MD Anderson within a month (sounds like a long time , but fast to get in there ) where I underwent proton radiation therapy and chemo. Feel very blessed to have been in remission since 2020. Can't say enough good things about the wonderful folks at MD Anderson and all who prayed for me.

Had anyone ever had their creatinine levels be abnormally high when taking blood labs. Mine has been high the last 3 years. Read that creatine can cause false high levels.


This is well known and why you should let your doctor know you supplement creatine.

Holy crap and good for you and congrats on beating cancer. Someone posted some data on creatine being sold on Amazon on here a while back and the majority of it was found not to actually contain any creatine. Amazon sucks and sells a lot of Chinese shite. I take the Zena creatine gummies from Costco because i don't like the difficulties w/ the powder. I should probably bite the bullet and go back to a legit powder.
