Blogging May Be Hazardous To Your Health

Item: In Web world of 24/7 stress, writers blog till they drop/Matt Richtel, New York Times

More Info: Two weeks ago in North Lauderdale, Fla., funeral services were held for Russell Shaw, a prolific blogger on technology subjects who died at 60 of a heart attack. In December, another tech blogger, Marc Orchant, died at 50 of a massive coronary. A third, Om Malik, 41, survived a heart attack in December. Other bloggers complain of weight loss or gain, sleep disorders, exhaustion and other maladies born of the nonstop strain of producing for a news and information cycle that is as always-on as the Internet.

Question: Have you experienced health-related problems as a result of blogging?
