Something causing a big stir in the FMS/CFS community is D-Ribose. I've been taking it (ordered from iherb.com) and noticed a marked improvement in overall energy levels as well as increased energy/strength in my gym/weight training (I just started back 4 months ago). For me it is also mood enhancing, possibly because it helps me feel and live a "more normal" life. Ribose if a 5 carbon sugar (ok for diabetics) that is involved with ATP and energy production at the cellular level. It was patented for use in treating Fibromyalgia in 2001 but just now hitting the CFS/FMS seen as a very exciting supplement.
It may be of help to some here.
