Can Ribose Really Help Fibromyalgia Patients As Weil Suggests?

I am always on the look-out for fibromyalgia news and found this October 8, 2007 newswire story in Voxant today. Like many of you, I am leery of "the next new thing" being touted as a supplement, but Dr. Andrew Weil is a well-respected physician, and hopefully, not being sucked into a marketing ploy. You have to forgive me for my constant negativity when it comes to fibromyalgia "cures". No one wants to be free of pain any more than I do, but after my less-than-wonderful experience with Lyrica this year, well, I am just always a skeptic. And, hopeful.

Hi
I am on lyrica- you said you had a "less than wonderful experience" with it. can you tell me what? I can say i gained weight and cant lose it, plus if i took it during the day I got very sick and dizzy so they changed it to once in the am and then at night. it does seem to help my pain some and did help me sleep tho it isnt working as well now. I would love to hear what you experienced as well as if you have tried the new product Ribose. I would like to get off lyrica so I can get rid of the extra weight!
thanks

Put me in the non-believer side of the room too. And if they want to try these things out on someone I'm not going to be the one :-(
Grin and bear it is easier said than done though. But at this point getting a good night sleep with ambien is really doing me the most good I think over the long haul of - how ever long you and I have known each other which is really when we both figured out we had it, wasn't it?
