Fibromyalgia Support Group
You're not alone in your pain. Fibromyalgia is a condition that can be difficult to diagnose and manage. If you're trying to cope with pain throughout your body, sleep problems, general fatigue, or other common fibromyalgia symptoms, you're in the right place. The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
By the way, you can google "Pubmed" and in the advanced search option type in say, fibromyalgia and D-ribose and you can read the scientific studies there.
I tried D-ribose for more energy in muscles. It's used medically for severe heart disease to help the heart muscle function.
I didn't find any significant effect. Maybe, just maybe I felt a little more energy but that could have been placebo (found to be as high as a 30% improvement in most studies).
Have you had any experience with D-ribose (a type of sugar)?

I use a brand called Corvalen which was originally developed for patients with congestive heart failure. I've tried other forms of D-Ribose and don't find them as effective as Corvalen. I do find that I have more energy when I use Corvalen. But, I don't like the backlash after it wears off. I am even more exhausted. You can Google Corvalen and order it online. Take care.

I have used D-ribose and prefer the corvalen brand as well. I use various supplements as part of my fibro management plan and D-ribose was one of them. The only reason that I stopped using it is because I'm on the anti-candida diet and cannot have sugar. I did find it effective in combo with my other supplements
