Literature states 20-30’s yrs at onset. I’ve always had low back pain and problems all my life but suddenly have a Sacroilitis but am not being told anything. Just take these pills and it will help. Waiting for VA to approve of me going to the spine clinic at our local physicians group. Just aggravated because I’m layning on my back or standing are my only 2 positions I can stand.

My daughter has been exploring tapping and shared it with me. It’s helping her to relax and sleep as she’s been dealing with anxiety and insomnia as she’s been processing trauma with her therapist.
