Summary

This person had ME and MCAS with anaphylaxis. They lacked the strength to steer a mobility scooter, found buses too overstimulating and were asking for money for a wheelchair; the NHS had told them they were too young for a chair. They were also training an assistance dog that did deep pressure for ME tremors and pain and was learning scent detection for MCAS.
