Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia with D-Ribose

Yes, I use it and have found it beneficial for my CFS symptoms. If you are going to try it I'd suggest sticking with a name brand, even though it's pricey. The d-ribose I've bought from bulk supplement suppliers doesn't seem the same.
 
Harry,

I ordered some from BulkSuppliments for a test run. What brands do you use. I see Jarrow has some at a fair price.

One thing at a time. May have to give the Q-10 and L-Carnitine a test run next.

The doc I see for CFS recommended Douglas Labs Corvalen to me, so that is what I started with. It is very expensive though, so next I tried Jarrow. That was comparable to the Corvalen in both texture, taste and smell. Then I tried Bulk Supplements, that was finer and seemed whiter to me, but the smell was about the same. Right now I have Nutricost and that is also finer and whiter.

Maybe there is nothing to it, and they are all okay, but I usually will start a new supplement with a name brand to gauge any benefit before trying something else.

Right now I only take 500mg of l-carnitine so maybe I'll try increasing that over the next few weeks to see if I feel better.
 
Very hopeful approach to improve chronic pain and fatigue

Fingers crossed. I've lived with CFS for 15 years and it involves a lot of fatigue and body pain. The only thing that has ever helped the pain is nandrolone and that's not typically a off-label CFS treatment. I just happened to find out nandrolone's effects on my CFS after trying it for joint pain. A non-chemical treatment would be nice.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
