Anyone with fibro trying D5-Ribose?

violann — Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:00:33 GMT

I've done fairly well dealing with fibro symptoms but this winter seems to have thrown me for a loop, and I plan to give this a try. Is anyone here using it? Hope you are all managing OK in this brutal weather!

I used D-ribose successfully several years ago along with making dietary changes & eating very healthy.

I seem to recall needing to "load" it, taking more for a few weeks and then going down to a maintenence amount. It was a powder & I added it to water.

I tried this and it did nothing for me. I recently discovered Fibro Ease Multi and Inflam 95 on Amazon. Just started the Inflam last night, but I love the Fibro EaseMulti!! I feel wonderful and I don't have the muscle cramps and my fatigue has been significantly reduced. I feel like moving more and doing things now. I used to lie in bed for 12 hrs on Sat and Sun. Now I get up in the morning and stay up. I'm sleeping a normal eight hours now. So far this is the best product I've found for my fibro.

I saw this on Dr. Oz but could only find D-Ribose online and not the D5-Ribose mentioned on the show. Does anyone know if there is a difference between the two? I think my husband has fibro and would love to find something to help him.

I noticed the Fibro Ease has quite a bit of magnesium. Magnesium tends to upset my stomach. How well do you tolerate it?

No tummy issues. I was taking a magnesium that was mag oxide that did cause issues for me. Fibro Ease has maleate/citrate and I've haven't had any problems. complete opposite of the magnesium oxide.

I used D5 ribose and I got my supplements thru Fibro/chronic fatigue clinic, and yes it helped.

I used it for about two years. I wanted to give it a good chance. It didn't help me.

Violann, have you ever looked under website endfatigue.com, there is information about Ribose and also about a new supplement to help with sleep. It costs 25.00 and you have to fill out a survey after using it.
