"Am I the only one?" Magda reveals the alarming state of her health

Magda Szubanski has shared the details of her various health conditions, revealing she has battled several illnesses throughout her life.

The actress and comedian, 61, listed her various health woes in an interview with TV Week magazine, and said she wondered if there were others with similar problems.

"There are times in my life I've been absolutely blighted by illness," she said.

"Osteoarthritis, migraines, anxiety - I also suffer from sleep apnoea - and that leads me to ask, 'Am I the only one who feels like this? Are other people feeling the same way? Do they have the same challenges?'" she added.

The frank admission comes just days after Magda called for vilification rules to be put in place for "fat people" online, only to be blasted by her following. 

The comedian shared the controversial tweet in which she wondered why "fat" people are not "protected" from hate speech online. 

She wrote, "It's interesting to me that you are banned from attacking just about every identity on Twitter except being fat. Why are we not protected from vilification?"

Szubanski was then blasted by several heartless online users, as she received comments such as, "Have another Snickers bar. Sounds like your blood sugar is low," and "Lose some weight then."
