Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 First, I wanted to thank Frank for all his hard work on this forum. My husband and I look forward to every Daily Digest. --- (To those who have seen this post on another forum already, my apologies. I´m hoping to reach as many people as possible.) This is for anyone who has the terrible pain and/or crushing fatigue I had up to a couple of weeks ago. I never could have sat here at my computer and typed these messages then! The burning skin, aching muscles, tendons, and ligaments were getting so bad that any normal housekeeping was out of the question. If I just tried to sweep, the muscles I used felt like they had been stretched or torn; and then, like they wouldn´t ´bounce´ back. The fatigue was so overwhelming that by the time I got myself dressed, brushed my teeth & my hair, and came downstairs, I had just enough energy left to take my supplements and Tylenol with Codeine, and drag myself to the sofa to lie down. Sometimes I´d get overwhelmed and start to cry but had to make myself stop because of the lightning bolt-like pains coming from behind my eyesockets. I saved my energy as best I could to go online. I kept looking for something to help- and then I found it. It was the study done with the surgeon with Fibromyalgia who was given a trial of D-Ribose. To make a long story short, I bought some, ran out, and then bought enough to see me through a month. I´ve been on it almost a month, now, and I can hardly believe it. I still have up and down days, but the terrible ´blanket of pain´ that wrapped itself around me and only disappeared while I was asleep, is just about GONE. The crushing, overwhelming fatigue, is almost GONE (I think both would probably be completely gone if I could get myself off the strong Spanish coffee I drink- oh well, that will be next). For me, it didn´t work overnight; it was more like improvement in little increments. But after about 2 1/2 weeks it had definitely given me my life back. If you are wondering if there is anything to help the horrible pain and crushing fatigue, please try D-Ribose for a month. It could make you feel like you´ve got your life back again, as well!
