She is managing with the help of a great and supportive doctor. Her doctor has found that many of his CFS patients are sensitive to milk protein. When my daughter stopped eating ALL milk products, her aches and pains stopped too. She still has the fatigue, nausea and other associated problems, but the "my body hurts so bad I cant sleep" has stopped. To all, My 18 year old daughter was diagnosed with CFS at 16.

I mowed my yard Monday, spent Tuesday in bed taking pain med every 6 hours, hurting from head to toe. Have been in bed most of today, should be feeling better by tomorrow.

I'll be interested to know how the D-Ribose works for you. I don't recall that it took long at all for me to notice the effects.

To Bryan, I have already ordered the D-Ribose, so anxious to try it. My former doctor, that had the patience to not give up on me in 1987 and finally found someone that knew about CFS, is retired and we live in different cities. He still keeps up with CFS and stays in touch with me, in my Christmas card he suggested D-Ribose, but my financial situation was so desperate I couldn't afford to try it then, then when I read your post, it really got me excited. Yes, Steph, this is truly a great place......thanks to all who take part. To Steph, in all these years this is the best site I’ve found to talk….so glad I found you.

Thanks everyone for sharing. It's tough to know what to do when your doctors tell you they can't help, and I'm grateful for all of the comments that have been left on this post. I've been learning a lot! I’m so happy to see all these cfs resources flying around. Thanks everyone for sharing.

That's a little like getting a bank loan: first you have to be tenacious enough to prove you don't need it. How miserable. I got my D-Ribose from All Star Health through Amazon.com. Just go to Amazon and search for D-Ribose to see what the best price is. I've had only good dealings with All Star Health and I tend to use them for all my alternative health needs. I got the 8-ounce bottle of powder and mixed it in water; that's less expensive (although not as portable) as buying capsules. At two teaspoons twice a day, the bottle lasted 25 days.

A friend of mine had mentioned this some time ago. For of you that may be struggling, I FINALLY rec'd approval for my disability this week, it has taken two years, reports from lots of doctors and staying in constant contact with my US Senators and House of Representative. My attorney was Binder & Binder that you see advertised on FOX News.

It's a natural sugar -- the one nature uses to power life (D-Ribose, as in deoxyribonucleic acid: DNA). The theory is that CFS'ers don't make enough on their own. It's metabolized differently than sucrose so there's no weight gain and diabetics can use it. I got decent results with two teaspoonfuls in water twice a day; three times a day would have been better but the stuff is a bit pricey. Get it online, not at your local drugstore or you'll pay double. The Mayo Clinic’s pages about CFS mention using D-Ribose to combat the energy deficit.
