    I wouldn't be able to go to work unless someone I know came with me with & sat with me all day.

    After my dad had his accident at work, (this was before they found out what it was and gave him the appropriate treatment) he got told by his employer that they wouldn't employ someone to supervise him all the time because it costs too much for them to do this.
    I think sh is referring to her eye condition making her tired not that work would make her tired as obviously work makes everyone tired especially if you do a physical job.

    Yes. It takes more effort for me to do many physical tasks (such as reading) and there are various other factors that can cause me to get tired very quickly.

    There are an awful lot of people who say "I genuinely cannot work"......neither can the obese man at 44 stones or the chronic alcoholic on 3 bottles of spirits a day.

    Should they get all the benefits too?

    The obese man could have an underlying medical condition that makes him the weight he is?

    !st thing any doctor does with obese patients is blood tests to rule out problems with the endocrine system that could cause obesity.

    Obesity is pretty well always caused by overeating. Forget all this 'it's my glands' nonsense or 'all my family are big'.

    I think you should do a little research before declaring yourself board geneticist.

    Yep, in most cases its called 'pieeatersaurus'. 99% of Lard A**es claim they have slow metabolisms, genetic disorders or big bones.

    10% of them are telling the truth, the remainder need to get their huge butts out exercising or put a lock on their fridge.

    Medication causes weight gain too.

    Don't I know it. I had bulimia for a while, and it's one of the reasons I can't take pregabalin - rapid weight gain resulting in severe depressive episodes. :(
