    I am a Dispensing Optician who is interested in the work carried out by Ian Jordan. I want to know more about working with people on the spectrum as I would like to work in this area both as a DO and as a Reflexologist
  1. I was diagnosed with hypermobile joint syndrome a few years ago by Prof Bird (now retired). Knowing why I suffer from pain has been helpful in getting the medical profession to help without looking at me as though I was mad. I am very sensitive to progesterone. This means that I need to avoid hormone pills and coils as they cause my ligaments to relax even more than normal as make me more liable to damage. I now can track the pattern of my pain to my menstrual cycle so I plan things so I can take it easy when my progesterone levels are higher when I'm due on. With regard to splints etc. I recently got a pair of old fashioned callipers from the orthotic department - they were very surprised that I was happy to wear them but you can't really see them under long trousers and I look less silly with them then I did when I was loosing my balance all the time! I also have neck and wrist splints and knee braces, but I try not to wear these as wearing them too much can lessen the muscle strength and cause more problems. xx
  2. Another book is "Mindfulness a practical guide to finding peace in a frantic world" by Mark Williams and Danny Penman . It comes with a CD of meditations and follows a format recommended by NICE for treating depression. It is also recommended for people who are not depressed, but want to learn how to better control their moods and their mind in life in general and in stressful situations. xx
