It's that word "rendered". Brings to mind slaughter houses and animal remains.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

Exactly. Which brings me back to the food...

My friend G. recommended an acupuncturist to me so I'm all set, once she calls me back.

Megan, I think Lori's had acupuncture.
I've heard good things about the place on Wionsor Street. I think it's called North Wind, and they do acupuncture there.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
The kind of treatment where they do electricity at the acupressure points instead of sticking a needle in works just as well, according to a study I read about in Skeptic Magazine (which concluded that acupunture did indeed work). So if you don't like needles, there is another option with the same effect.
I also
strongly
recommend that you do not try to use a muscle that has a needle stuck in it. That experience is definitely right up there in the pain-I-have-undergone list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My treatment involved both electricity and puncture -- electricity was shot down some of the needles.
'Twas weird.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

That's the type I've been getting, along with massage.

That it is...

I just had the needles, but they felt tingly and electric on their own. (And excruciating, when I tried to sit up to look at the ones in my stomach.)
