Ribose-D HUGE Help! 10/29/12
Reviewed by:
Location Not Given
I was desperate for help. . . looking everywhere, finding little. My myofascial trigger points were classic text book and extreme! I was crippled by them! I was needing 3x a week deep massages just to 'kinda' get around. Oh, and the pain, deep sore PAIN! It was horrible! I started taking Ribose-D, 5 g's 3x a day. It did give me a bit of a headache for the first handful of days, but my body quickly adapted. I experienced relief immediately, and as the days went by it just got better & better. I've gone from a 8-10 level pain, down to a 1-3 for the trigger points. I still have the knots, but not the extreme pain. I didn't realize how much I suffered from a lack of energy 'til now. I have a steady sense of energy and an interest in social life again! I'm VERY grateful for Ribose-D! I feel the need to stock up on the stuff!

Great for daytime energy 08/10/12

I would describe it as being similar to drinking a small cup of coffee for energy. It lasts for most of the day. Helpful when fatigue sets in.

Ribose keeps symptoms at bay most of the time 01/26/09
Reviewed by:
Location Not Given
Well, after I was diagnosed with fibro, I decided to test d-ribose, a type of sugar, because some years ago I cured recurrent urinary infections with d-mannose, another great natural sugar, so I believed in this type of treatment. And d-ribose proved it works very weel for fibro symptoms. It gives you plenty of energy and most of the time I forget I have fibro! I fell very well, no pain, just a little little bit really "hidden", so that 's why I do not say 100% of improvement, but it is just as if the symptoms were reduced by 90%, which is really wonderful. Try it, it is worthwhile. But choose the supplier very well, you have to find pure d-ribose. I buy from www.sweetcures.com. It takes a week or two for the effects to become really obvious. I am not advertising for anyone here, I feel glad I can share something that really works with more people. I hope I help someone here with my testimony.

Finally help for my fibro 02/22/08
Reviewed by:
Location Not Given
After battling the pain of Fibro for 7 years and trying all sorts of therapies and prescribed drugs, none of which really worked well or were worth the side effects,I heard about D-Ribose in a magazine and decided to give it a try. I have only been taking it for a couple of weeks and I have already noticed a change in my energy level and ability ro recover more quickly from exercise. I am hoping that it will continue to help me and I will keep this website posted with my progress. My initial bottle seemed expensive, but I shopped online and managed to get a really good deal on some chewable tablets so I will be able to afford the treatment after all. Hopefully the feeling of being thrown against a brick wall will be gone!

Ribose or D-Ribose 12/14/06
Reviewed by:
Location Not Given
I used to feel like a stunt double for Wil E. Coyote --- deep muscle pain and stiffness as if I'd been beaten with a ballpean hammer, repeatedly blown up, fallen off of a cliff, etc. Apparently its because of a "depletion of cellular energy pools, leading to muscle pain, soreness and stiffness". Ribose is (from what I've read) a main source of energy for cells and fibromyalgia is a symptom of a lack of that energy source. You can read all the technical stuff with an on-line search.
I take 2 to 4 grams a day depending on my activity levels. I no longer have that deep muscle pain that never seems to go away and it helps overcome fatigue and reduces muscle pain/ soreness, and stiffness. Since I have less pain, I can exercise more, my fibrofog has diminished significantly, and my mood is elevated, and my seemingly unreasonable irritability has subsided.
Ribose is a type of sugar so diabetics and hypoglycemics beware -- Check with your doctors. Its available in powder or pill form and is available on-line for less than $13.00 for 100 grams plus shipping. There are Ribose concoctions specifically targeted for fibromyalgia but appear to be pricey. I may try a few just to see if they work even better than the Ribose by itself.
