Introduction
„Face to face with chronic illness“ (WHO, 2005). The major of West countries got an experience to see the increasing number of patients with symptoms based illness without underlying physical disease (Halligan 2007, 358).
Health, surely for everybody, is one of the most important things in individual’s life. The phrase, which is popular between older people, says – “if you have a good health, you have everything in life”. People usually don’t think about illness while they haven’t ill. If illness comes suddenly and unexpectedly, people have to face with several issues at the same time. They have to bear not only physical pain (if they feel it), but and adopt the fact in their minds that they are ill.
Illness can destroy human‘s normal life. The persons (sick persons) can pay exspensivlly for disease in the form of social isolation from their kin, friends and community activities. It is not good because it can be the reason which can quicken disease. People have to cope with it and to do it help coping strategies.
It is really hard to cope with illness especial with chronic illness. The health doesn’t exist by itself. The man has to take care for it all life. The person should know well about factors of risk, which increase the chance to go sick.

1. To describe meanings of health and illness;
2. To make short description about chronic illness;
3. To show different issues of coping with chronic illness.
