Hello dear! Glad you enjoy the story. Just know that the frustration you sense about the limitations, your MC does too. That's a vital part of the story with your MC's life being on hold and stymied because of the curse. Without the stakes and your MC being so held back in life, you don't have as much of a push to find a solution. With your healer, there just isn't much in the way of traditional medicine for your MC to do for themselves since their affliction is unique. There's one known plant that helps and chapter 6 will actually touch on why that is.
I'm glad overall you find it immersive and a good experience! Hang in there, MC can only go up from here! ^_^
