I played so much video poker over the course of my first 3 years of playing that, after one time of about 3 consecutive days of intense play, I was so exhausted that I could hardly stand up for months. I had been in a field and gotten ticks on me, so I thought I might have had lyme disease. I had recently had a relationship with a girlfriend who, not long before meeting me, had been a drug addict and very promiscuous, so I thought I might have had AIDS. All tests were negative and eventually, with enough rest, I recovered, but I've been more careful to pace myself ever since. I find playing machines which give me no support for my elbows much more tiring than those which do.
