Generally there's not enough information about this anywhere.
I have waited for 20 days. I have rested for an additional 20 days. I have used healing potions. Nada.
Still, there's "Injured (2)", "Distracted (3)", and "Sensitive Lips (3)" in the status menu. WHY are there permanent debuffs you simply cannot remove that punish you for playing the game as anything less than the Virgin Mary? And if they aren't permanent, HOW do I get rid of them and WHERE is this communicated? Resting isn't doing anything, healing isn't doing anything - even though injured is explicitly only supposed to be for low health, no?
Please help.
