What's new you ask?
A couple days ago I started adding 5 grams of 100% creatine to my protein shakes. No, I'm not looking to get "swoll" ... just looking to stop, or slow, the muscle weakness/loss in my legs (thanks to motor neuropathy), improve results from lifting and to reap some of its other benefits (heart health, lower blood glucose and LDL cholesterol). Not all the evidence on those benefits is conclusive but ... it's safe, cheap (80 days worth for $10) so I figured I'd give it a 3-4 month trial.
