This article has been based on the MA thesis “Suffering from Psoriasis and Atopic Dermatitis in the Context of Medical Anthropology”. I discuss typology of narrative about Arthur Frank’s illness. With its aid and a metaphor of illness as a journey he used, I describe the experience of suffering from two chronic illnesses – psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. In this way, I attempt to present complexity of the experience of suffering from both illnesses, their multi-level impact on life of the ill and the ways they work out to cope with them.
