In this issue: Panic attacks isn’t just ‘irritation’ in its simple form, but one that carries pulses of electrical anxiety that eventually floods your brain. Let’s take the fear from 2020, set it alight with hope, and take that forward via the January writing prompts. Doctors need to know that there is a human being underneath the diagnosis, who needs to be acknowledged. The emotional pain that results from chronic pain can make it harder to get through bad pain flares. A glimpse into the lives of the chronically ill, who have been living in isolation long before the pandemic.
