imre Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Has anyone taken d ribose supplement? I hear it is good for cfs and my doctor told me try it. If you have what does it do and does it help at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batik Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I tried it and could never tell whether it was making the blindest bit of difference. Eventually I dropped it due to finances. I've found that there have been very few things which helped me in a nice, big, obvious way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
targs66 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I took it as part of a vitamin/supplement regimen that a Dr. Myhill in Wales recommends for CFS. It definitely had an effect on me - very similar to strong caffeine. I felt jittery and wired for a few hours, then felt very depleted. Not very pleasant or beneficial, in my experience. (I tend to be ridiculously oversensitive to meds/vitamins, etc.) As an experiment, I had my husband take the same dose (about 1/4 teaspoon, if I remember correctly) and it had no effect whatsoever on him.You might want to look at Dr. Myhill's site (www.drmyhill.co.uk) for more info on how d-ribose works. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramakentesh Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I must admit having tried this for myself for a few days. I find it odd more than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramakentesh Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Not in a way that justifies its excessive cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
