    Just thought I would post a quick note here to let those that might be interested know that I have a G27 for sale. Check out the hardware forum for the information on it.

    Yeah that sucks. You should try some hand exercises and learn to hold the wheel a little lighter. :)

    I could have sworn this exact thread was already created earlier today and I replied with a response regarding some supplements to possibly help you. Did the thread getting deleted???

    Never said I was leaving the forum, just getting out of racing. I still plan on contributing a bit to the community with liveries etc.

    ....

    He's not leaving the forum, lol.

    On another note, i do hope you are going to pursue trying to figure out what is the cause of your pain. Sorry to so depressing but it's more than likely to get worse with time unless you can find the culprit!

    I don't know if you want to discuss about it here or not, but i would start with looking into a possible dietary culprit first, simply because it's the easiest and cheapest to rule out first. The amount of crap that we can get from processed foods is always a biggy, worse if your in the states i understand.

    Sucks to hear man, hope things get better. Maybe when they finally get to the bottom of things you can make a big return, better and stronger than ever. :)

    I was thinking of different controller options but I guess that won't do you much good with a "sim" like rF2. GL and hope things work out for you soon.

    Gearjammer, you should definitely read this...

    http://chriskresser.com/how-too-much-omega-6-and-not-enough-omega-3-is-making-us-sick

    Well worth the read and a look into your diet. It may or may-not be the cause but on probability alone, diet has very good odds of being the/a contributing cause.

    "You are what you eat"


    If only people cared as much about their diet as they usually do about their superficial appearances.

    So far the doctors and I have been going round and round for about 4 years now. They have looked at what I eat as well as what I don't. I have been given supplements for B-12, D and Potassium. I have been given different drugs, which though effective in relieving the pain, also make it impossible for me to drive due either to making me sick or drowsy, or due to them being illegal for a commercial driver to use. The doctors have pretty much said they give up, and that at some point it will get worse and they will hopefully be able to determine more of what is causing it when it does.

    Regardless, it is something that I have to deal with, and unfortunately it currently means that I am no longer able to drive commercial trucks for a living, nor race. I will have a read on that article DrR1pper later today and see if there is anything that might help me out.

    Thanks again guys. Appreciate the concern and the advice.

    Buy/read the book, "Fit for Life 1985".....if your problem is dietary related, Fit 4 Life will solve it.

    All the best.
