A woman has been "stuck" in one room for more than 24 months as she battles a rare brain disease. Moyamoya Disease - affecting one in a million people - causes Daisy Simpson's brain to shut off.
The 34-year-old was diagnosed in June 2021 following a stroke and a brain bleed earlier that year. It took visits to six hospitals and multiple neurologists to finally pin down her condition which has since deteriorated rapidly.
Each month she suffers multiple transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) - resembling mini strokes. She also has reduced vision, uncontrolled body movements and difficulties walking.
