Yes I am of the same opinion. I wish I could cope with the symptoms and not have to take it. But I felt I needed it. I started with only 600 mg for about 6 months. I have recently increased it to 900 mg. apparently you need to be taking around 1800 mgs for it to work at its best. But I find that I can cope with this amount and the side effects are minimal. I am naturally concerned that what will happen in 10 years time. I am only 44 years old and exercise is part of my profession being a full time sports coach. So far I have managed to hide my condition to my work. For how long plays on my mind. I hope it can be till I get to my 50's?? If only I could really know exactly the cause of my condition?
