Aloha, Cajun tigar,
Happy Thanksgiving! I just left a discussion telling others about Dr. Teitelbaum great book " From Fatiqued to Fantastic". I also tried the
R-bose and had great results as far as having more energy. I also shared this with my therapist (who has fibro also) and the ribose helped her enery level as well.

That's great news ! I'm glad you're feeling like your old self again ! That's always a blessing ! It always lifts my spirits to here about an upswing ! I wanted to know where you get D-ribose and what are your other supplements. I cannot afford to buy the book.

I'm glad it's working for you as it does for me. I take 5 grams of the powder in a "homemade power drink" only when I'm feeling really run down or tired as it sometimes keeps me awake.

1 Crystal light single package
1 tbsp liquid calcium, magnesium & D3
1 B12 tablet (and 1 tbsp of liquid B's if I have it)
aloe vera juice

Depending on the flavour, I'll sometimes add orange, fruit or lemon juice.

I started taking D-Ribose a little before you. To be honest, I haven't noticed much extra energy - some, but I was expecting more. I started out only taking it in the morning and now I've started taking it mid-day as well.

4 days after I started taking it, my RLS quit and I was able to stop taking Requip. I was not expecting this. BONUS! I also was able to stop taking Ambien also, though that may have been from the addition of cannabis infused oils to my diet.

I may have to go back down to only taking it once a day. I'm feeling restless these past few days. I'm not sure if it's the additional D-Ribose or external issues - - like family...

Overall, I'm very pleased with the addition of D-Ribose.

sorry but what exactly is D Rib rose? I can not find it here in town . hugs

Cajun hun! I am so happy for you! I love it when we find something that works! And like Unduki too...sometimes these benefits spin off into other areas!

Whoo hoo!

So glad it's helping you!! I did not notice an energy boost from it myself but I have not been in nearly as much pain the past 5 weeks as I normaly would be. So something is working :)

Thanks for all the comments, guys....I wrote a jounal entry today (Nov 27) and listed everything I'm taking right now....It has definitely helped!!!

HUGS to all from down south :)

I also started d-ribose about 2 weeks ago. It helps SOME, so it's worth continuing, but it's no life saver. I also added magnesium and malic acid and rhodiola to the supplement mix. I think this is a list taken from that Dr's book, but I got the list elsewhere.
Every day is still a new adventure tho. Yesterday cost me 2 days worth of pain meds IN ADDITION to all of the supplements. I got some good rest and am preparing for 3 half-days of work in RETAIL, so you just keep trying...today I was very THANKFUL for a normal successful bowel movement (sorry, but I was :) Cheers

For those sensitive to supplements as I am, be careful. Take a small initial dose. It made me sick. My body will not accept it.
