I hurt the hip temporarily with the self-defense but it is better today. My lower back above the right hip bone spasms often. It was a pretty interesting class but it is so hard to remember the moves! We all needed a lot of work to really know them. It was just how to get out of holds/grabs and run! So I will tell all the ladies: remember that joints are weak, even on big strong men, so hit the elbow (hard side) back of knee and pelvis and a person lets go; also pressure points like nose, inner elbow, back of ear; also remember the rule of thumb: the person's hold is weakest by his thumb so try to move that way. Pay attention to gut feelings and don't be too nice to strangers as it might be a trap (think of the movie Silence of the Lambs!).

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
