Well taurine is not what I wanted it to be, the only thing that it really helps is not being so stiff after a workout...but I'll take what I can get.

Sorry it's not working better. In theory it should help considerably, but perhaps it doesn't target the exact problem we see with the chloride channel defect.

With MC you must stay in a certain level of physical activties, try this test if you walk for 30 minutes see how you feel, if I'm right you then rest for 20 minutes (cool-down period) get up either from sitting or laying you'll experience fatique, stiffness and possible soreness in your joints, at least this is what I went threw, lifting, walking , running must be spreaded out though-out the day, slower pace & medication you are able to feel more comfortable though out the day, like me my problems begin in the mornings after inmoblity for last 7-8 hours. try it and see what you could handle, get back to me.

any other alternative long-term alternative medicine that you would suggest?

Hello Ethan.

I'm thinking of giving the taurine a try. What other effects were you hoping for? Did it not provide help with stiffness during the actual workout (but only after?)?

I ask because I'm wondering if it might be an effective temporary short-term thing, that I'd take only when I was heading out to play sports, or some other activity where I specifically wanted to stay loose.

Well I play hockey, and I play goalie. Sometimes If I make a save and have to move weirdly, I might stiff'in up. I just sorta wanted the "attacks" in a game to lower, but sometimes I have no attacks and sometimes I do, when I'm usually on my belie. (and that is the most time I can't move when I would be on my belie.)
