Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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?"

My treatment involved both electricity and puncture -- electricity was shot down some of the needles.

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

'Twas weird.

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.)

Uh, did they make you talk or did you escape?

I am now afraid. Very afraid. Though I feel that after having cortisone injections directly into my sinuses, I can do anything.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Megan, from what I hear they barely hurt.
