Has anyone heard of a pilot who is required to carry an epipen/jext being able to get a class 1 medical?

I've just got a class 2 with no major drama, had to see a specialist allergy doctor who said in his report "I certainly see no reason why this diagnosis should be a barrier to him becoming a helicopter pilot including piloting craft solo." But whether the CAA see it that way....

Current plan is to train under the class 2 then try to upgrade to a class 1 ASAP and see what happens. Can't get a class 1 currently due to eye astigmatism but the optician seemed confident that would decrease after wearing glasses for a year.
