Is blogging is an invitation to Doctor

by Himanshu on October 7, 2009 · 13 comments



Blogging may be ebullient term for those geeks who want to spend day and night in front of computer screen but blogging may give you a gift which you never want to except. Yes, I am sharing my own experience to those who want to make a career in blogging field or those who live insurgent life.

The story started on February this year when I started giving time on internet, I came to knew the power of WordPress and blogging when I attended Wordcamp, I started blogging and I made some target, I achieved most of them, I saw many phases of life in my small blogging career, but I had a dream, something very big dream, apart from my 9 hours day job I give 6 hours daily on internet, without any rest, without any break, .Since I had lot of freelancing work to do I had a very tight schedule. Everything was planned, according to my plan such that I would never run out of my blog interest and money.

But lots of surprises were waiting for me, on 26th of September I went to GIP mall at Noida along with my friends, on returning from that place it felt a slight headache. I thought it was a normal pain. I returned home and take a quick rest. On next morning I wake up with a stark pain in my head, I didn’t understand what happened to me, I again take the headache very lightly, on third day I had to take a train and reached my home. In train though I was alone on my seat but I got a companion in a form of headache. Finally I reached my home city Varanasi, I ran to the doctor before reaching my home. Finally doctor told me something much unexpected. He told me that you are suffering from Migraine. A severe head aching disease.

I asked doctor many times to counter check me, but doctor was very much firmed. He told me to take a bed rest and not to sit in front of 15 inch screen to do any work. Now again I am in dilemma, what would I do to now? How can I spend my remaining life in front of my laptop? How could I get targeted by this intense disease? Why God choose me to give this break. What will be the next? Where I am going? What would be my future? I am surrounded by too many questions. Everything is now dark in front of me.

Though after taking one week of complete bed rest I am fine and back to work, , my favourite work, i.e. Blogging, and able to write this article, but I am working in fear, now I can’t spend 16 hours daily on internet, my time is limited, I live with lots of medicine and eye drops.

Quick Tip: In case if you regular work on a computer and face a headache for 2 or 3 days, don’t take pain killers (analgesics) like Disprin, Saridon etc. You should consult to your doctor and have a proper check and tests for your eyes.

I request you all not to ignore your health. You should take all these steps to relieve yourself from blogging stress. Have a regular checkups from doctor.

Blogging gives you two types of disease first one is headache and the second one is weak eye-side problem.
Without caring about these hazardous freelancer work because they are passionate about it.

Totally agree with you Vivek, I think bloggers are somehow very much passionate about their work. They forget to give care to their physical fitness.

I feel so sad after reading your story and hope for speedy recovery. I guess I need to learn so many things from you, even I spend 16-18 hours a day working and I forget about almost everything around me… Thanks Himanshu for this eye-opening post.
