Do you have any sort of illness that prevents you from music production? My problems is poor eyesight which doesn't let me spend a lot of time in front of PC screens, restricts me from going in for some species of sports etc. I suffer a lot from such restrictions. What can usually be advised in such situations? I can't just give up music, because making music is one of the factors that makes me happy.

If you rely more on hardware synths and effects you'll spend less time staring at the screen adjusting simulated knobs and sliders.

I stand by that notion and i'm not afraid wut comes at me, bring it on

Get a 'visor' or 'glass filter' for your monitor. They reduce glare from the screen, so that there isn't much strain on the eyes.

Well, my Tinnitus sucks and restricts me in many ways. I have my Tinnitus more than 10 years, so I got used to it. There are some days where I can't even listen to music at all, but it's ok, cause I know that the next days will be better.
My advice for you is to get the most out of the available time you have.
In my case I produce when my ears are ok, when my ears are not so good, I read some books or tutorials about music production.

Do what Kismet7 does. Eat healthy and excercise. Also, get some Vitamin A(nalogue) into your diet.

Did you just refer to yourself in the third person? Weird.

I'm starting to think that music was not meant to be created all hunched over in a room pulsing with radiation. Being creative shouldn't give you scoliosis. If my power goes out I'm suddenly no longer a musician. I think I'm going to sell all my equipment and buy a djembe and a native american flute... go live on a mountain...

my girlfriend has almost no sight in one eye and poor sight in the other and she is on her mac all day.

She also is using logic etc to record her guitar and she does a production course with me at uni so she can manage. She just does the best she can

Processing a highly structured and complex pattern of sensory input as a unified percept of "music" is probably one of the most elaborate features of the human brain.....understanding how music is perceived and how it may elicit intense sensations is far from being understood.
