Well, as such the d ribose does not have any proven effect on fatigue in Fibromyalgia. It will act as a good source of glucose after conversion in the body, but the mechanism for fatigue is different in Fibromyalgia. It is mostly due to chemical diaturbances
I would like to know a few more details:
1. what medications are you taking for Fibromyalgia
2. any other modes of therapy you are trying like. yoga, meditation, water therapy or exercises?
3. how is your sleep pattern?
