NEWSFLASH - I have had sleep apnoea since my early 20s yet still work. I just deal with it and with 4 kids to contribute towards I don't have the luxury of getting benefits. Apnoea means without my treatment I stop breathing 58 times an hour on average whilst asleep. I hate to comment on someone's weight as there could be any number of reasons behind it but she needs to get off her fat arse and either get a job or think up a better excuse as to why she doesn't have one.

She has simply made the decision not to work and sit around getting fatter, the only consolation is that she is shortening the burden on the taxpayer. Whilst having sleep apnoea can be very dangerous there are many people suffering who lead a fairly normal life. I have had a few work colleagues suffering, one was telling me only last week that he is a sufferer and needs to wear a mask. Apart from carrying a bit of extra weight and admitting that it contributes to the problem his life is fairly normal and it doesn't mean he is confined to the settee watching Jeremy Kyle.
