Taking D-Ribose for autoimmune disease

Can taking D-Ribose exacerbate Sjogren's Syndrome in any way?

Not sure on Sjogren's but I do take it for fibro and lupus and it does give me more energy (when I remember to take it!).  I can't see how it would exacerbate Sjogren's.

Thank you!  After posting this I did check with my rheumatologist, who said that it could do no harm whatsoever.  Not what I was expecting from a traditional, allopathically-oriented doctor :)
