bubbling enthusiasm for $arbitrary_topic
I don't know how it works, but having 40 tiny needles stuck in my back has made a huge difference. I can move around now without wincing. I can sit and stand and bend forward and I don't have to worry that I'm doing some sort of horrendous damage to my back.
I can also now empathise with hedgehogs on a heretofore unrealised level.

As she struggles to work out how to get home, she uncovers Faerie’s dark secret and finds that she is not the only human who needs saving.

Suw, if you are ever interested in understanding how those 40 needles work their magic, I can recommend two books:
The Web that has no Weaver, by Ted Kaptchuk
Healing with Whole Foods, by Paul Pitchford–don't let the title fool you. It's a great primer on traditional chinese medicine.
Rats32 – thanks! I am rather curious so I'll have to put those on my Amazon wishlist. 🙂
