The supplement I used was LIVEGOOD Creatine+HMB which I mixed with my protein shake every morning and I used the amount recommended by the mfg.

Yeah, one of the videos in my post warns that when you go to your Dr for a checkup, you should warn the Dr that you're taking creatine because it causes elevated creatinine levels which concerns Drs because it looks like kidney problems, except that when you're on creatine, it's just a byproduct/normal.
