Hellooo I'm Jo and I'm an independent Occupational Therapist. I teach self-management skills via video chat from the comfort of my own living room. Works out well for me since I live with hypermobile Ehlers Danlos syndrome and a a wonky autonomic system so I need lots of rest breaks and horizontal time. I'm also visually impaired. Looking forward to some interesting discussion and I hope you're all having a lovely day.

Hi Jo
Good to see you have joined the community, I think your professional and lived experience will be a great asset here.
Just for clarification, I should say the Jo and I know each other. We qualified as Occupational Therapists from the same university, although Jo was in the year above me.
Looking forward to hearing more from you Jo

Haha thanks @Sam_Scope & @Jean_Scope for the warm welcome. I absolutely love my job. Working from home with video chat appointments means I can also manage my own pain and fatigue really well. It's great to be able to do some work without too many negative consequences
Looking forward to reading more and getting to know the community here!
