What are the possible causes of bitter taste and malaise in the mouth?

Hi doctor,

I recently had a bitter taste in my mouth for three days, but it seems to have subsided a bit, although I am feeling a bit of a malaise. I also started developing pins and needles around my body on and off for three days. It has been relatively continuous but feels like shocks or a tingling sensation. This is ongoing. The doctor said that it is a viral infection.

Kindly help.

Can a person with past kidney disease take creatine?

Hi doctor,

Is creatine safe for someone to take for workouts or for performance purposes who had kidney disease in the past? I suffered from childhood nephritis and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, potentially triggered by a mold infestation around ten years ago at my home. After a biopsy, I took steroids and diuretic medications for some years until remission. I have been in remission and off medication for over ten years. I never needed a transplant and now have normal protein or creatinine ratios.

Please help.

Thank you.
